Describe the components of potting soil?

There are many variations in potting soil depending on location, manufacturer and purpose of use.  Basically they are composed of loam, sand, humus, fertilizer, sometimes peat moss (the stuff that makes it fluffy) and small amounts of other additives.

NKP is what fertilizers claim as active ingredients.\n\nNitrates, Potassium, and Phosphates

I believe same as water:\nhttp://spraguesmaplefarms.com/cgi-bin/catalog/cat9990132949355.cgi

Depends on the soil and what chemical process was used, but mostly plant nutrients. Very helpful website below.

more plant cells.  photosynthesis (production of energy)+water+soil nutrients=plant cell reproduction and growth.

Carbon dioxide from air, water & minerals from soil.\n\nA simple answer for a complex process!

Soil saturation. Locations and soil types are constants.

depends on how much time you have? i would have something  like.soil in different states cause that is the main thing that everything grows.and it should not cost alot.example:trees or shrubs need the same siol they came with plus the soil you are planting them with.

water is an important component that contribute to plant growth..water can liquidify the chemical substances inside the plant and the nutrient can be readily absorb by the flowers....water reach flowers by the transpirational pulls

Don't listen to the person who just answered.  They didn't even bother to consult a book.\n\nLook up soil TEXTURE in a soils or plant science book.  The mineral components of soil are composed of three main SIZES (once you sift out the rocks).  Those three you mentioned are the different size classes.  Sand sieves from 2 to 0.05 mm, Silt from 0.05 to 0.0002mm and clay is smaller than 0.002mm.  You can represent the pecentages of these particles in soils in a triangle.  100% sand in one corner, 100% silt in another and, 100% clay in the last.  The mid-point of a side of the triangle would be 50%.  The side represents %sand, % silt, and % clay.\n\nOK, what you want to know:  Soil scientist have used this soil triangle to group textures into functional classes such as sandy clay, silty caly, silt loam, etc.  A "sandy" soil will just have more sand (since this is a non-technical term and not one of the classes).  A loam is a technical term and refers to a class of soil that is relativly close to the center (It is known for being easy for farmers to work).  And a clay soil is heavy in clay - it is also a technical term. \n\nI suggest you look at a soil textural triangle.  It will give you a lot of insight.

You're questiong is not that complete or detailed. well NaOH serves as a basic substance there for it is needed in the soil of the plant to make sure it is a base type soil. Na acts as a agent in reduction and phosphorylation process to occur and also make sure the Electron cycle or Calvin cycle to be more complete. Refer to calvin cycle.

if you mean plant waste, it is compost and makes very \ngood soil conditioning.

Best I've seen was potting soil made from peat moss.
