any good recommendations on mixing your own or what amendments to add to bagged "soil", which really seems like majority wood product? I want some thing light and fluffy ,but end up with soggy and clumpy.
I have been using kellog soil in the pink bag and not really thrilled. I mix anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 perlite because it compacts pretty bad over time. I have never really like the results though. It just seems bland . I also use hydrolyzed fish to feed. Check the PH of the soil with a cheap tester I have anywhere from 7.0- to 8. PH. My city water PH is around 7.5. When I feed , the water is around 5.9.
