Building my own soil

[gimmeaporsche]

What is a good recipe to build my own organic soil? I already have compost and was wondering what else i should add.

Just to let yall know the grom I am doing will have nothing added that mother nature herself does not add in nature. Except for lighting and a pot its all natural.

If you already got compost I would suggest something like pro-mix for potting and chunky or coarse perlite. Also if you could get a hold of earthworm castings that would be great too but the compost will probably allow you to get by without it. I always mixed mine in this fashion:
6 parts Pro-mix
3 Parts Perlite
2 Parts Earthworm castings or compost
1 tbsp of powdered lime

Very simple mix that works great. IF it looks familiar that is cause it is just based off of Vic's famous soil recipe #1 but I augmented it a tad. Sometimes after mixing a batch I will even add more perlite until I feel the consistency is just right.
