Do they have any examples of flowers or vegetables grown in this mix? Could you get a container full for an experiment?

It looks good to me. Well thought out. I wish I could get it here.

Local nurseries here use a municipal waste that may contain sewedge sludge. The landscapers buy it in droves for shrub beds. I bet many homeowners get it for their raised bed too. Yuck!

5) Lime

Unfortunately, I don't know the exact percentages but wondered what y'all think about this for growing container tomatoes. I need to get busy planting in the next couple of weeks, and I am exploring possible potting mix recipes as well as those sold in retail stores. Any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
