How Do You Make Organic Potting Soil?
Incorporating organic potting soil into your landscape or garden is a natural and healthy way to grow plants free of chemicals. Preparing your own organic potting soil can save you money and greatly improve the quality of your plants. Clear a work area outside where you will not be concerned about making a mess. Use a drop cloth or newspapers if working inside. Gather your gardening supplies such as gloves and pots. You will also need a large container to mix and possibly store the organic potting soil. Collect your organic potting soil ingredients. This should include coco fiber, expanded shale, organic compost or earthworm castings, and wheat bran. Place equal parts of the organic potting soil ingredients into the container. Mix these supplies together by hand until they are distributed evenly. Use this mixture for potted plants, gardens and growing herbs. It can also be mixed in with the native soil in your organic flower beds.
