Do you mean make their own soil, or their own soil mix?

My soil mix has gotten kind of out of control…. Now contains Happy Frog as the base, always perlite, coco chunks if appropriate and/or fine coco, then worm castings, cinnamon, granular insect control, and diatomaceous earth.

Oh, and sand if it’s a succulent/cactus type.

Well I was thinking about starting composting and a worm farm but I’ve literally just started doing my research.

However, I have also been looking up good ratios for a general soil mix…
