Making my own Soilless mixture for seedlings to Sell?

desertlzbn · February 6, 2012

I am wondering if anyone makes their own mix for their seedlings to sell?
The Sunshine mix is so expensive, but I was thinking about making my own.
A bag of Sunshine mix #1 is $30.00
A bag of compressed peat moss is $20.00
A bag of Perlite is $18.00
(lime I already have)
So it would be $38. to buy the stuff to make my own, but does anyone know if a bale of the peat moss will make more mixture than what comes in the Sunshine mix bale?
Also what ratios would I use to make it?

Sorry if this seems dumb, but I cannot seem to figure it out, and I know you guys are way more experienced than I am.
