I never had much luck with those garden mixes you buy in bulk from nurseries. I use Mel’s Mix in my raised beds and have had great success. You can google it. It consists of 1/3 coarse vermiculite, 1/3 sphagnum peat moss and 1/3 organic compost gathered from several different sources for best results. It is more expensive and a little more trouble mixing it but the results are worth it.

This is what I filled my 3 beds with and apparently it’s garbage (see results a few posts above). I’m trying to get recs from LSU Ag, but I may need help from here on how to amend what I have.

That's a bummer, will have to look around and see what the best option is around here. Not super worried about the price, would rather pay a little more now and not have to worry about it for a while.

Vermiculite got very hard to find and was expensive as could be if you did find it during and after COVID. I have seen it popping back up lately though.
