Kathy547 said: I have bags of garden soil, perlite, & poultry grit. I want to mix them to use in some containers outside & for some houseplants I need to repot. I have read different measurements but am leaning on 2 parts soil & 2 parts a mix of grit & perlite. (1) Does this seem right for a general purpose mix? (2) Anything else I should add?

That appears to be a pretty heavy mix, I would also add some coir and some perlite to lighten it up.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
