The most commonly used soil formula of Huayou is peat, perlite and vermiculite mixed in equal proportion, which is called "three in one" by the Jianghu people.
Also known as peat, it is a swamp property formed in thousands of years and the most primitive state of coal. As a soil conditioner, it contains a lot of organic matter, non-toxic and sterile, good ventilation, light weight, water holding and fertilizer retention, which can enhance biological performance.
The biggest advantage of adding peat to the soil is that it can easily identify the degree of moisture in the soil. The darker color indicates that the soil is wet and does not need to be watered. If the color is lighter, it means that the soil is dry and does not need watering.
Note: before use, pick out the impurities in the peat and break up the lumps. Then add some water and mix it more fully with other materials.
Perlite is very common in garden flowers. It can improve soil structure and prevent soil hardening. Pay attention to select the varieties with less dust when purchasing, and screen them with a sieve before use.
Vermiculite is widely used in flowers, vegetables, fruit cultivation and seedling raising. As potted soil is also a regulator, vermiculite with larger particles can also be used for soilless cultivation.
Vermiculite can promote the growth and development of plant roots, provide nutrients for them, and ensure the stable temperature of roots. Vermiculite is added to the soil to save fertilizer and labor.
