20 litre / 5 gallon peat

1/2 cup dolomite lime (to offset the acidity of the peat)


Mix above, water thoroughly.  Then, add in:


3 cups perlite (for aeration)

2 cups vermiculite (for aeration and water retention)

1/4 cup granulated seaweed

1/4 cup colloidal soft rock phosphate


Mix above, water thoroughly.  Then, add in:


10 litre / 2.5 gallon potting mix or well-finished veganic compost

Mix above, water thoroughly.  Then, add in:

1/2 cup alfalfa meal (fertilizer)

1/2 cup soybean meal (fertilizer)

1/2 cup mycorrhizae (to help build the mushroom base for the root systems)


Mix above, water thoroughly.  


Other things to consider:

- "Live mulch" in Gatineau

- Promix mycorrhizae (but need to add fertilizer to it: alfalfa meal, soybean meal, & kelp meal)
