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.
I don't know anything about wood ash except it's a good source of potassium, if I recall correctly. Earthbox insists on dolomite lime, and I grow only in Earthboxes, so that's what I use. A 50 lb bag is only $6 at HD. Sunniland Brand yellow and white bag.
