I use Searles potting mix. It has wetting agent, 8 monthes feriliser, imported peat treated to hold water etc. It is not cheap, say $23 for 50 litres, but seedlings look very good.
Unbelievable I think the Black Marvel one has some form of super phosphate in it as fertiliser, shallow rooted annual veggies grow better in compost whilst perennials would grow better in potting mix
@rosemarybrown1686 , unfortunately plant growth & brix levels aren't the same thing , you can use a synthetic nitrogen which will give you explosive growth but you will generally have a low brix reading , it's the associations with microbes in the soil that feed & protect plants that'll drive up brix levels , feed the soil not the plant as they say
A lot of work done for a very impressive results! 👍🤗 Great that you declared that although it's a rigorous test, it's not in a controlled environment. As not many of us have! 😮 M 🦘🏏😎
That was like the Brownlow Medal count for gardeners!!
Thanks for taking the time to carry out the testing. Interesting results.
Very interesting trial. Thanks for completing this Vasili.

So depending on the variety of plant you grow no matter which soil is used, that also has a big effect on the brix results..?
Great test, looks like the sheep knew best.
Hi just a quick question why would my Cali and Broc not be forming heads? The head leaves have curled over a couple of weeks
Buffet is open!!🐑🐑🐑👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And the sheep test winner is Vasili. Sheep will naturally seek out the most nutricious food available.
Wow, I m a bit surprised in some of them. Each vegetable variates also.

Very confusing, I see good growth but the reading is low ????

The sheep have spoken 😁
the numbers dont match the end results.
