Got my boxes together.....

I've got my boxes together now, and am putting together a soil mix. I've had trouble finding hort grade vermiculite for Mel's mix, so I'm improvising my own mix and will try it out. I got some moisture control potting soil as a base. It is supposed to retain moisture which is what the vermiculite is supposed to do. I mixed in some cow manure, and peat humus. I have a couple inches left to the top of my box, so i think I'll look for another variety of compost material. Anyway I'll get some picture up by next post.
