I want to make my own pro mix cause its cheaper,
So. How to I go about this??
I was thinking

Meat moss
Vermiculite
lime
peralite
sand
small rocks
Blood meal
bone meal
fish
and maybe time released nuts
 
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.
 
Pro mix is 75-85 percent peat in weight, its about 10 percent perlite, 7 percent vermiculite, 1 cup of domolime/C lime per sqaure foot i think. then mycrosspure
