Yardenman said: I make a potting soil blend each year from peat, perlite, vermiculite and compost. A trashcan full each year. I seem to use it up each year. But that is for containers and seed cells.

I know this is an older thread, but I'm glad I found your post. I'm doing container gardening and looking for recipes for homemade mix - but there are so many different ones out there. Gets confusing.

I found a recipe like yours and was surprised to see it used no potting soil or mix. Does this mix work well for tomatoes and peppers? Does it hurt to add a little potting soil yo that mix?
