Hey guys,
So I'm waiting for my 15 gallon smart pots and I'm trying to figure out the potting mix I'm going to use. I've so far got a 5kg brick of coco coir. Perlite is really expensive here so I'm wondering if I just add say 30% coco coir to the mix will that help with drainage? The rest of mix I plan to use 50% store bought potting mix and 20% compost. The store bought stuff compacts a bit. I'm using it alone for my plants now but it isn't working out. It's for 3 15 gallon fabric pots so perlite would be very expensive.
