Why guess aft soil mixtures? 
When the book tells you what soil best suits the plant, that is precisely the mixture 
you can give it. Or you can get away from the book and experiment with your own 
planned mixtures. Either way the results are gratifying, and interesting. 
You add to the game by analyzing your soil and correcting deficiencies in nitrogen, 
phosphate, potash, and acidity. You need no knowledge of chemistry to do this with

Why Minimums? 
As it costs about as much to process, pack, and ship an order for two 
items as 100, each grower sets a minimum below which shipments are 
made at a loss.
