My preferred starting potmix. 3.8 cubic feet or 107 liters it says, and it fluffs into TWO 'sweetlix' tubs and a couple of rounds with garden hose to soak it up. I always feel like I'm taking screenings and making chicken feed when I do this stuff. I had four bales when I started, this was the first one in the tubs and #2 waiting. This is 80% peat, perlite, vermiculite, and some dolomite to help buffer PH. Once it's soaked it's a very good mix and I have NOT had damping off problems since I started using it last year.
