That's why I kept every bag of the different mixes I bought this spring. I need analysis of the ingredients. I didn't realize that peat was that acidic at 3.0 - I had read that it is closer to 4.5 PH. I did not amend with dolomite. Fresh wood ash from oak will be readily available for the fall containers. However, I need to research the other ingredients. But first, see results from what mixes I'm growing in. The only more basic thing was growing in white buckets.
