Super Soil Product Question

[AZshwagg]

I read that this soil is the best to use when growing. My question is what type to get? there are three types "potting soil" "Premium Planting Mix" "WonderBloom Flower Planting Soil". They all sound great, But which one will I benefit from?

I prefer the potting soil, then ammend with about 20% perlite, 20% castings and a tbsp of lime p/gallon of medium.

It sounds to me like that soil may be pre-fertilized w/chem's.
If I were you, I'd stay away from any potting soil like that.
Organic is best.

Hey, Hick. what do you put the Lime in for?

 

[Hick]

Ganga..NO pre-ferts in "Super Soil". I've used it a couple of times, when getting away to the city for Black Gold or FF wasn't practical. It's appearance is very similar to the BG. I haven't used it extensively enough to "plug" it too heavily, but it seems descent.

Mutt, lime is a ph buffer (neutrelizer) and provides desirable magnesium.

Thanks Hick.
When I read this: "WonderBloom Flower Planting Soil" it sounded like something pre-fert'ed.
