Soil components

As we mentioned in the Keys to Success, the second key component is Mel's Mix.  Here's our core components for the mix as it was delivered to the house.  A rather large amount of work awaited getting the three mixed and into the raised beds.  The compost alone was 4 cubic yards.  For our mathematical calculations, I calculated the Peat Moss to expand to double it's size, but that's not really the case.  I had to get more Peat before we were done and by my estimate, Peat only expands to about 1 1/2 times it's compressed size.  Nonetheless, the mix got done!
