    I think the best, from other reviews, is the "Nursery" mix.
    The 51L is a good one, too.

    Foliage Pro 9-3-6 is what you want.

    Congratulations on leaving the 511 mix behind you. I've been using Fafard products for well over twenty years and am a very happy customer.

    I worry that the 52 mix might be too "chunky " unless your containers are very large. I agree that the Nursery Mix is pretty ideal, as is the 51L.

    Doesn't seem that the 5-1-1 was ever "in front" of cynjrana....unless I'm mistaken, the mix was never assembled or used.....

    Cynjrana, you're welcome :-)

    Also what is the 51 L mix? I tried googling it and can't up nothing.

    It's peat moss, pine bark, and perlite :-)

    I just wrote Fafard 51L into a google search and this was the first hit. The MSDS sheet...not sure if it helps. SunGro apparently carries the professional mixes now.
