Does anyone have a recipe for potting mix? I have played around with making my own, but still haven't perfected my recipe.

Carol, the composition of a potting mix varies depending on what you want to grow. Here are some recipes from the University of Florida extension service: http://solutionsforyourlife.ufl.edu/hot_topics/lawn_and_garden/homemade_potting_mix.html

Years ago I mixed up sand and top soil and put it around my mailbox. It is the best planting space I have but I have never been able to repeat that success. I think it is because my helpers think a couple of bags of sand will work in too large a space so I don't put enough. I am going to completely rework an area so I will be in charge of the mix! HA!

Jeanette, Throw some compost in the mix. You can't go wrong with compost :)
