Now, mix the materials in the right proportions:
Recommended Ratio:
50% Topsoil
30% Well-Decomposed Manure or Compost
10% Sand (if needed)
10% Coconut Coir or Rice Husk
Mixing Process:
- Spread a large plastic sheet or use a clean surface to mix.
- Pour the topsoil onto the surface.
- Add the well-decomposed manure or compost and mix thoroughly.
- If your soil is too compact (tight), add sand for better drainage.
- Add coconut coir or rice husk to keep the soil loose and able to hold water.
- If your soil is too acidic (sour), mix in a small amount of lime.
- Keep mixing until all the materials blend evenly.
