Hey fellow RIU members, I'm trying to make the switch to full blown organics, and not just sub-par"organics" that I have been doing for a while. I use Fox Farm products because that is the highest quality soil I can find. I've lurked and done a lot of thread reading about organics. I've started composting, and am going to start a vermicomposter sometime over the summer. Anyways, my real question is a several part question. I'm very limited geographically to certain products. I can't (for shipping costs) buy Roots soil, and need a good base soil. My local Lowe's-s (yes both) don't carry pro-mix :/ I can get another brand however called Harvest....... will this suffice as a replacement base soil? Or should I stick with happy frog or ocean forest? I can get coco coir easily. I also bought some cow manure compost by the name of Countryside Accents, can I use this as an amendment? I also have Leafgro 100% organic high humus content compost. And I have a spare bag of vermiculite laying around. Sadly the only perilite, bone/blood meal I can get is Miracle Grow...... will it still work? And I also know I'll need dolomite lime and azomite as bennie minerals, but where can I acquire them? Really, I just need some help locating the right materials, without having to make a bunch of seperate online orders....... especially because shipping costs suck for most things organic..... as they're mainly shipped from the west coast lol. Please all you organic Gurus..... need some help. Thanks!
