Yes sir - as best as you can measure it. Units don't matter as long as you're consistent.
Let us know what you find.

That's a lie! My ficus would never say that!I had a long talk with every single plant here - They all had the same opinion;

I know this much from experience, an oyster mushroom grown in a pot can smother everything else, including worms. They also can seriously impede drainage.Well, you know, no promises I will follow through and actually do it but I may.
Amongst others things I'm quite curious about the effect of mycorrhizal mycelium on AFP and water retention. I have a couple trees in chunky 3/8- 1/2" substrate top to bottom. Obviously very high AFP to start with but now I can lift them out of the pot and the whole unit looks like a block of styrofoam, they get watered less than they used to now.
Anyhow, thanks for continuing to contribute to the soil topics. I agree with others that it can be very simple and there are well proven methods to follow but that to me is no reason to not be interested and curious. I always enjoy soil, substrate, water and fert discussions.
but people who don't know better may get the impression they need a degree in hydrodynamics to pot a tree.

Dunno, average idiots are likely to realize that they're better off following others advice. They can have a good chance of success by following a straightforward plan. Fools on the other hand may well believe themselves to be much more clever and will inevitably do something foolish given enough time.It is impossible to make anything idiot proof. 'Fool proof', I agree, can be done. Its a fine line ....

My money's on the idiots.
I love garlic, but fried in green onions and butter (no garlic) is the only way to fly (or do I mean fry?).Fried in butter, a little garlic, dayumn..
It works for me.Good point. Despite my own ideas and inquiries if dude from the street asked me how to pot a tree I would direct him to Walter Palls substrate watering and fertilizing articles and videos. Simple idiot proof advice, just follow
directions and don't worry.
