It seems to beat any potting soil mix I ever bought.

I'm not sure what a Kast bucket is, but it seems like a good idea to me to mix something in with the forest soil. I imagine your pigs will provide some other nutrients as well.and mix it with the soil from my kast bucket of maincrop potatoes

I second the great novelty of Travis' cement mixer idea. This would save a lot of work with my hands and shovel, especially if I expand my seedling operation but also with making compost or mixing it with biochar.
