Hi Everyone,

First time gardener from Ohio need your help. TIA.

I am planning for vegetable plants in a wooden boxes of size 4 foot x 4 foot x 8 inches (=~ 11 cubic foot). Four of these boxes makes 45 cubic foot approximately.

I filled these four boxes with the soil less medium as following:

Coarse Vermiculite 15 cubic foot

Sphagnum Peat Moss  15 cubic foot

`Compost kind of` Â 15 cubic foot (1 cubic foot each of below)

I have searched 50+ of garden centers locally (zip code: 45040) and couldn't find so called "COMPOST". For next year I will be preparing my own compost so this question won't arise. But, to begin my first/fresh vegetable garden; in the place of compost I used the following

mix. I mixed them *VERY* thorough spending a week.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Question: is the following mix 'OK' to begin my garden? Am I sort of something here? Am I going to kill the plants with Over dosage? Any other suggestions/ideas to help myself is greatly appreciated.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
