How to Make Potting Soil

Select ONE OF EACH from the following ingredients. 
Use a wheelbarrow to mix thoroughly. 
PART ONE: A high quality garden soil (filtered through a screen) OR a commercial 
topsoil.
PART TWO: Peat moss, leaf mold, OR compost.
PART THREE: coarse sand, NOT vermiculite OR beach sand.

Mix 1 part each of the above ingredients. 
Add 1/4 part bonemeal OR rock phosphate. 
Mix well. 
Add 1/4 part greensand. 
Mix well.

Tips:
For plants that prefer a more organic mix, use 2 PARTS peat moss, leaf mold or 
compost.

For plants that require a medium that needs to stay dryer, use 4 PARTS sand, 
vermiculite or perlite.

If you mix more than you can use, give it to a neighbor or store it away from 
drying winds and rain.
