I've started using Sunshine 4.

I'm thinking using a 50/50 mix Sunshine 4 and Garden Soil for Potting Soil.

Will this work or just go with straight Sunshine 4?

I'll see your Sunshine 4 and raise that with "No N-P-K required" soil you make yourself. :D Just kidding, of course.

By the way, the Big Rockpile row of peas started some blooming today. We sure could use some of that 2.5 inches of rain you got.:happy:

That depends on if you are using it indoors or outdoors. Indoors I would use only Sunshine alone but outdoors you can mix the two.

Well I have been mixing Rainbow Pro Mix Grow with my Sunshine 4.

The 2.5 has some thinking what to do. Know a guy that has hundreds of acres was counting on second cutting of Hay but he has been feeding Hay since last year and pasture is gone.

The growing is all inside. In the Greenhouse.

That, feeding hay since last year, is a money losing proposition...Big Time!

I sell off cows during drought conditions...never feed them winter hay or feed except in winter. That is a way to turn a small fortune into a huge debt!!

We may get there, selling cows, this year. No rain since May.

Yes when Hay is running $125 a Bale.

My Son has Horses that never get rode. And he buys for them.

I told him they would be gone. Oh but they belong to your Granddaughter. Well her problem.
