I want something to mix Peat Moss, Vermiculite, and compost to use in my vegetable gardens. Will this work for that?

you can but there are grooves in the sides of the bed to accommodate the wheels and back resting legs so it's not a completely flat surface like a metal wheelbarrow. So yes but not as easily as conventional wheelbarrow.

If you use the big chunky perlite it will work great. Btw, by itself perlite is considered a hydroponic substrate. One Ive had good success with

I think it will work fine. Be sure to use steel spikes to pound into the hard soil to hold it down.

no, it is too much like peat moss, I wouldn't use it to sow seeds, it is a mix in type of product. HTH

I use it for kale. I think it would be good with sprouts. I don't think it would do well with cucumbers or celery.

Yes, it's for in-house plants, vegetables, even medical marijuana and many other plants that are grown in containers. Also the old used Pro-Mix is a excellent soil conditioner for outdoor flower beds and the backyard garden so nothing is wasted.

I do believe this is exactly what this is for. I bought it to make neck coolers and the pellets were smaller than I should have used. I talked to someone else and they said they used this for their plants and garden and had great success. . .Sounds like that is similar to your turf grass! Good luck

I've used it for all types of potatoes and sweet potatoes and squash and cucumbers. so far no problems - although overly ripe (soft) ones can mush a little. I am happy with mine.

it can it can be used just like peat moss in place of soil. It can be used and reused say in pots or containers. I mixed it with my soil because I have clay and it helps to break up the clay and keeps the nutrients and moisture in. I highly recommend it.

use one part peat moss and one part perlite. make sure that the peat moss does not have added nutrients or fertilizer!

I used it straight through veg and flower and had great results. If you have access to a MH though, i'd use that for veg.

It probably would- haven't tried it that way- but when thinking about it- the compost that we have been putting the thermometer in is almost like soil so I would think it would work. Probably not compacted soil though. Id go for it- the thermometer is durable.

It should, that's why I am using it instead of grass. (No mowing yay!) It will be a little delicate when it first starts to grow, but once it gets going it should be fine. Here is a link with more info for uses: http://www.stepables.com/5/Sagina_subulata_Irish_Moss.html

I do not think that would work for compost, I discovered after purchase the cart needs to be weighed down to make the aerator dig into the ground.

I use it on my veggies for powdery mildew. It says "safe for organic gardening".

Are you referring to square foot gardening? If so... When filling your garden you mix 5 different types of compost to make up 1/3 of the mixture of blended compost, vermiculite/perlite and peat moss. If you are using a 4x4 garden you would need 2.6 cubic feet of blended compost (5 different kinds of compost). If you are replanting a square in an already prepared bed, just mix one trowel of compost or earthworm castings into the sq ft (small hand shovel) prior to sowing seeds or adding your transplants. Hope this has been helpful. :)

According to this website: http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/news/news27553.html It is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. I used the product last year around my herb garden and everything came out fine.
