I cut a lot of grass but can't put it on the garden generally as mulch (hay) because of the fire-risk. So I mix the decomposed grass with decomposed leaf litter, put it in my tubs and the plants love it. No soil because there is none unless I buy it. My mix probably contains too much nitrogen which promotes excessive leaf/stem growth but so far I've had a modest potato harvest and the cucumber crop is looking to be a great success. I've planted capsicums in the mixture and they are yet to strut their stuff but...fingers crossed. So I'm rather chuffed that my "soil" works!

Same with me. Saved seeds from 2022 turned out to be a lot of crosses. Pods are close to finishing now, with some real oddballs.
