I have some young plants that I just transplanted into 7 gallon grow bags when moving outside. I sit the grow bags on paver stones and put an inch of small gravel and perlite at the bottom. The remaining mix is the following blend:
10% perlite
10% worm castings
40% triple mix (humus, sphagnum peat moss, compost)
40% top soil (peat moss, compost, bark fines)
I'm having some regrets about not upping the perlite to 20%. I know this is very low on the 10% - 50% range given. I do plan to use some liquid nutes on occasion and modestly but not often enough that I was concerned about the soil holding moisture for a few days.
My main concern is oxygen. At 10% perlite and using a grow bag for breathing, do you think I will have oxygen deficiency issues in the middle of a 7 gallon bag?
Thanks!
