My two cents on ProMix....when I had my nursery in Minnesota I
used a lot of ProMix and I used it in nursery work here in California too, and I
always thought it was about the best potting soil I was able to buy. There may
be superior ones, but I never used them.
I did often add some time release
fertilizer to the ProMix, and for certain crops, a little lime. For many
plants that I was trying to root from cuttings, I'd add a goodly amount of
perlite...often using a mix of 50% perlite and 50 percent ProMix.
I no longer grow commercially and can't
ever find any ProMix for sale retail. I have to use other cheaper potting soils
I buy instead, and all of these I amend considerably.
