What kind of plants are you growing? Different plants do better in different types of soil

### Amy kommenterede den 2025-05-20

Maybe mix in some perlite?

Agree, just take your existing soil mix and throw in something that doesn't retain water to "lighten" it.

Use a mix without moss (peat, sphagnum). Moss holds a lot of water.

Coco coir with perlite, mashed it fluffy and airy and fast draining. Add 1 part worm castings if you want too.
