my first grow

[mitchee11]

Hi guys, a mate of mine gave me a couple weed plants to try and grow. they're about a month old and pretty small but i'm going to grow them anyway. I have never grown outdoors before, my plan is to get some big 75L pots and fill them with manure, potting soil and some perlite.

I have access to composted cow, chicken and sheep manure.

I was wondering, what kind of ratio's should I use? I was thinking 50/50 with the soil and cow manure and then add some chicken and sheep manure and perlite. I don't know how much chicken and sheep manure to add?

Any suggestions or things I could do better? (I can't get any composted horse manure)

Thanks!!!

Hey mitchee, welcome to the board. I'd google on mixing all these things together. Google subcools super soil recipe to get a better idea. Adding all the manure can make the soil to hot and acidic sometimes for the plant to survive. There has to be a balance of nutrients and correct ph....hope this helps you out.
