"While it’s easy to find high-quality potting mix at gardening stores and nurseries, there are good reasons to consider #DIY #PottingMix. Making your own blend gives you greater control and allows you to make adjustments for different needs. You can also save money this way.

"As you investigate recipes for the perfect potting mix, consider the importance of leaving out peat. Peat moss is often used in potting blends but unfortunately it must be harvested from wetlands. The process damages a delicate ecosystem and releases carbon dioxide. Luckily, if you want to make soilless growing mediums, there are plenty of good alternatives. Here we show you how to make your own potting mix."
