Here's what looks to be The Eden Project's artificial soil recipe:
Surprisingly high in organic matter, though composted tree bark is fairly resistant to degradation. I wonder if they have to top it up every year. Currently they're doing more research into artificial soil mixtures in conjunction with the University of Plymouth.
- 25 per cent sand waste from Cornish china clay mines
- 32.5 per cent composted tree bark
- 32.5 per cent composted green waste
- 10 per cent coal rich clay (lignite).
Thanks for the info regarding the soil makeup of The Eden Project
