I made an approximated batch of 5-1-1 mix using the following ingredients:
2 cu.ft. bag of GreenAll Microbark
12 qt. bag of Gardner & Bloome Perlite
12 qt. bag of Gardner & Bloome Peat Moss
In all the posts I've read about this mix, the amount of lime and fertilizer aren't very precise in proportion to the ratio. A handful of this and that... I'm hoping forum members could help in sizing up how much dolomite lime and Osmocote I should add to my batch.
Additionally, should I even add the Osmocote to the whole batch when I don't intend to use the full batch immediately? I wouldn't want to activate it in the slightly moist mix. Should I just add the Osmocote to each pot's full of mix?
Thanks!
