    This isn't a fully organic soil, but it's close

    Holland Bulb Booster Planting MIX...N-P-K contents are 0.07-0.05-0.04

    contents of soil are reed sedge peat, composted forest products, and / or composted rice hulls, Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, horticultural perlite, ground dolomitic limestone, a wetting agent, and a timed release fertilizer...but it's a very very weak fertilizer..so i am going to try it out..some very nice stuff it feels like, nice and fluffy but only 5$ a 16qt bag...i am going to try it on a couple of my plants..

    also picked up Miracle Grow's brand of Perlite..also some decent stuff..can you believe i said Miracle Grow made something decent???

    the perlite has some fertilizer dusted on it..and it's only a scant 0.04-0.01-0.06

    and i think the plants are going to like it and if they don't then i know not to use this brand again...but i am def going to give it a try..if not then i will go back to my baccto soil..
