Hi can someone help me out with a fly trap peat/sand mix ratio for best results. I have californian spagnum peat moss and 2-3mm coarse sand to use.

As others have mentioned, the standard mix of 5 parts (by volume) sphagnum peat moss, and 5 parts "other stuff" (sand and/or perlite) works well for most climates and conditions.
