thanks for the answers

i have a few more questions

i found the potash and dolomite at my garden center =0)
for clay i found terracotta clay or a white clay called pearl paperclay(it says all natural non toxic)?

i cant get the 3m sand

no local distributer. so i guess i will be using my old sand and flourite mix? i was thinking of washing the sand and flourite then baking it to sterilize it and get all my fertz out of it?

last questions for today. how deep can the soil be? and the sand? im thinking in spots i would like to have 4 or 5 inches maybe a little more? so is like 4 inches soil and 1 inch sand going to be ok? or am i asking for trouble?

i started step one yesterday=0)
