Ok, i am going full scale this year... will have over 100 varieties growing for total isolation seed stock and probably another 100 at another location for open pollination and sfrb fresh peppers...
Heres my issue... I will be growing in 5 gallon white plastic grow bags as they are cheap and easy to store... I found them for less than 50 cents a piece too.. 46 cents each in packs of 50...
Now, potting mixes are wayyyyy tooo expensive to buy by the bag...
Suggestions on making 136 or so cubic feet of potting mix as cheap as possible? I dont need the additives, the buffers, the composts etc... just nice airy stable potting mix as i will be using composts teas and worm castings to fertilize and get the micro environments in the bags going... they will be complete after i add everything so i just need the media to hold it all together...
Ideas? No frills, 200 5 gallon bags of potting mix... GO!
