Nope. The "plant food" part will kill your plants.

You need peat moss and pool sand. Add distilled water and mix (half and half). That's the easiest.

You should just look for peat moss. Then pool sand. Plain. With nothing :)

psssttt...Matt...

The white space in your search confused the forum hyperlink...

To the OP: You should be able to find some regular old non-enriched peat at your local hardware store.
