1 part horticultural sand (#18 screen)
1/2 part worm castings.

I've gone through 40 cubic yards of it in the last 2.5 months. The plants are loving it.
Is this a good soil for T/Cs ? I am thinking of buying a flat or two and hoping to grow these with the best outcome. Not having much luck with seeds. Also any info you can on growing t/cs.
Thanks

Although an old man, I am but a young gardener
