Do y'all buy soil or make your own soil mix? I have a lot of indoor plants and have purchased different kinds or soil but it usually gets hard/caked. Do you have any suggestions? I have typical house plants and a few fruit plants

I just buy foxfarms and call it a day. I have perlite, bark, rocks, all the good stuff but I only use it if I don’t have anything premade. In my experience the bang isn’t worth the buck unless you get a big lot of soil and want to save some money.

I’ve also never had indoor soil get hard or caked so….idk about that.

Yeah I've been using fox farm ocean forest for the last few years do you use a different one?

Yeah it can be really common for house plant soil to get compressed as the organic material breaks down. Personally, I make my own since most of my house plants are tropicals. I like to be able to flood them with a deep watering give them lots of organic material to break down. I'm actually about to separate a few plants so it's time to do another mix.

Hi thank you! When this happens do you typically re pot and add in more organic material to the soil?

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano

Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).
