Ex #5: You are creating a potting mix for your window boxes that is 20% peat moss and 80% potting soil. You add 100% potting soil to your mix that is currently 50% peat moss and 50% potting soil. You have 4 buckets of the mix that is half and half. Do you have enough of the half and half mix to make 8 buckets of the mix that is 20% peat moss and 80% potting soil. Explain your answer.
