Thank you very much for your responses. I appreciate it a lot. I will go buy a ph test kit for the soil. what I did was buy a mushroom and steer manure compost and mixed that with the existing soil. I hope it works. thank you again for all information you all gave. Peat dirt is very old plant...
I live in northern cali on an island. The soil here is mostly peat dirt not peat moss but peat dirt. Is this a suitable soil for out door growing? Yes I will be adding a potting soil to it.
