key lime

10 years ago

Hi all I have posted here before and needed help with my Meyer Lemon. My tree is now three feet tall with three large lemons on it. It is about to go back outside for the summer.

I just bought a Key Lime. I need a soil mixture recipe for this tree as I don't remember the mixture I made for my Lemon. Whatever the recipe was really worked. My Meyer has not stopped blooming all winter! Many thanks all, an appreciative newbie to citrus. Mrs. G

Hi All, I seached this forum for the recipe for Al's gritty mix and found it. It was Meyerlemon who helped me the last time.

I think I had a problem finding the right pine bark/fir, and granite, as I live in Rhode Island, and for some reason, the barks we get are all mulch related; dyed and are in huge chunks. Substitutes would be appreciated. I do remember being sent to a pet store for one or more ingredients. So excited I'm on to my second citrus, thanks to you all!
