Potting Mix

Potting Mix

Let’s talk about the most important aspect next.

I am a firm believer of soil and believe that if you take care of the soil, the soil in turn will take care of the plants. I want to stress on this point because, this is the BIGGEST MISTAKE people make…that is NOT paying attention to the soil. So let’s look into the potting mix for container gardeners.

I will share a potting mix recipe that works for all crops.

Potting mix:

For terrace /balcony/container gardeners

• 1 part coco peat
• 1 part red soil
• 1 part manure (cow dung manure)
• 1 part compost (regular or vermi-compost)
• 2-3 tsp of neem powder / neem cake powder

Mix it all together and fill the pots. You are ready to sow the seeds! This is THE BEST potting mix for beginners who don’t have soil available and want to practice container gardening on terrace or balcony.

Note: For those who have access to garden soil, you can use ANY Regional soil available to you instead of Red soil.
