So I'm attempting to grow my peppers in double 5 gallon buckets but what I'm looking for is a soil recipe from others that grow peppers in the same fashion.
Despite the big movement for this type growing I haven't found a lot of info on soil.
I hear you want a light soilless mixture.
I found these recipes
Recipe #1: Sphagnum Peat
70% Sphagnum Peat
20% Vermiculite
10% Perlite
Recipe #2: Sphagnum Peat and Coir
35% Sphagnum Peat
35% Coir
20% Vermiculite
10% Perlite
Recipe #3: Coir
70% Coir
30% Perlite
I have also read up about Pro-Mix a soilless all in one. I'm not sure which way is cheaper.
Of I make one of the homemade mixture should I add dolomite to the top several inches of the soil and a ring of fertilizer around the plant?
