ATM all i have access to is 1.5 to 2 cu. ft. of g potting soil, and this other new wally world brand that promises to feed up to 6 months. Even though i think the mg says they feed for 3 months, and the main neagative issue with these products being their harsh chemical fertilizers. I will be thinking about acquring a bag of their new brand. its also a few bucks cheaper. along with this bag i bought a small bag of perlite and a box of bone meal. now do you think if i mixed this soil with about 50% of a coco coir woodchip and olds old mnure compost thats been goin for about a year, along with some used ffof soil in there and a lil blood meal,along with the bag of perlite, that i will be able to reduce the chance of the ferts in the synthetic soil baf burning my plants r messing up their growth cycle by giving out nutes at wrong times?
Will this synthetic soil kill and myco life i mway hyave going on in my tub of composted organic material and recycled orgnic soils? how much coco (cut) wold u use to feel safe with em?

just purchase some decent soil or get some pro mix and mix up your own with some coco..worm castings and what have ya.
It'd be worth the extra effort
