wouldnt the lime only be necessary,if you have to adjust ph ,and actual fish??? ive used fish coons and coyotes can smell that shit they dig up,bm1 is a promix from ur local farm store 3.5 cubic yards 30 bucks thats alot,how many plants,ones i do close to home i make composted soil in tupperware ,i use my used soil snd kitchen scraps mix half soil half compost get worms from fishing store throw a dozen in shake eney two days(leave room to shake round)two weeks or so nice fluffy soil,if you poke hole in bottom and collect juice u got pesticide, your mix sounds good but if your doin a bunch get some bails of promix easier to carry,it expands quite large throw in some foilage off the ground and some slo release and away u go

Making your own promix would just be peat, vermiculite and perlite. Those are the 3 things in promix. The rest of the list are additives. I would either buy bales of peat or bales or pro-mix or something simliar to it and keep them compressed. Bring the compressed bales onto the field and do the mixing there because they expand ridiculously and I don't think you would be able to carry that much bulk soil without attracting attention to yourself.
