| If you're up for learning what makes a good (and bad) container medium, you can read about it here. There are a couple of recipes there that offer good starting points, too. FWIW, if you make aeration your focus, and the property around which you build your soils, or at least the property you keep foremost in your mind when you select a soil, you can't go far wrong ..... all explained in the thread I linked you to above.

| I have a 1 year old fig tree in the gritty mix. It's growing fast and has nice green foliage. I fertilize every Saturday with a 1/4 strength foliage pro. |
