Potted Fig Trees

9 years ago

I haven't had much luck getting figs started in my back yard so I planted two in some large ~20 gal clay pots. One is a Brown Turkey and the other is a LSU purple. I used a mixture of topsoil and organic compost since the pots are so large but it seems to be staying to wet in the pots. The pots have one large hole that is clear for drainage. Several leaves have brown spots that I take to be signs of over watering. I think I need to repot them in a different mixture but what should I be using to get good drainage?
