I am starting tomato farming and in order to get good germination from the seeds I'm importing, I read that I need a good potting soil mix.
Some of the items that will be in the potting mix I need are:

1- Perlite
2- Vermiculite
3- Myccorhizae (a bio stimulant)
4- Calcium Carbonate (Agricultural Lime)

Anyone can assist me with leads and contacts?

Thanks in anticipation

Hello mrph please have u found these items? I am also looking for vermiculite and perlite. I even came across ur post to next generation. Please let me know if u find it pls.

No, I havent found any. Infact im shocked not many people in the industry know those names.
I am going ahead soonest with compost and coconut coir mix 50-50.
I am certain they will germinate.
I have researched enough to believe so

Thanks for ur response. Please where are u getting the coco coir from or are u extracting it ursef? I am also importing some beefsteak tomato seeds from Johnny seeds.

I can supply you with organomineral fertilizer which u can use alone or with 30% heated soil.

I have made arrangements to get them from people that sell coconuts.
But be warned, you must buffer it with Calcium Nitrate before use. Google.

@Paulordiah,
The fertilizer u talk about, is it self made or by a firm and what is the NPK values.
Also in what form are they - liquid, liquid-soluble or granular?

I'm here to learn
