Hi everyone! I'm planning on growing 12 plants outside in 20 gallon containers. The amount of dirt I would need to buy for that would put me into debt long past my death. We have 10 acres of land with varying compost piles around, most of which are leaf piles. The soil under them is great. I plan on buying perlite, worm castings, and coco coir as an add in. I understand too many nutrients can be harmful to the plan, potentially burning them. Due to that, I am on the fence regarding the compost dirt, but it would be the best route for me cost wise. Any tips and advice would be appreciated, thanks!
