THE FORMULA

How the result is calculated

Compost and aeration volumes equal total volume × their percentages. The remaining percentage is assigned to topsoil or base mix.

SproutScale preserves full precision while calculating and rounds only the displayed result or the final purchasable unit.

FIELD NOTES

Before you act

  • Keep the component percentages at or below 100% total.
  • Choose components for the crop and local climate.
  • Mix on a tarp in small batches for consistency.
QUICK ANSWERS

Soil mix ratio FAQ

What happens if the percentages exceed 100%?

The calculator caps the remaining base mix at zero and flags the blend so you can reduce one of the added components.

Is one soil recipe right for every plant?

No. Drainage, water retention, pH and nutrient needs vary, so use the ratio as a planning starting point.
