Re:Half planter and half worm pit. - 2008/05/14 11:55
General rule is 10-20% vc to 90-80% soil, in containers at least. The vc microbes gotta have something to work on, and that's the organic materials in the dirt. More ain't gonna hurt anything, regardless, but the plants draw from the soil for their required nutrients. VC facilitates the nutrient availability.
When I prep my raised veggie beds (4x8') before planting, I just spread maybe 1-2gal of vc on the surface and work it into the top few inches, then mix about a 1/2c into each planting hole.
Y'all have fun, whatever you're doing.
