Hey everyone,
I’m working to formulate an affordable local alternative to buying Boons Mix, and have ended up with lots of bags of dirt and rocks! Welcome to crazy is right! I’m fascinated staring at stumps and dirt now. Will normal people understand? I am at this point thinking of mixing Napa 8822 (sifted) and Permatill (Expanded Shale) and Pine Bark fines. So- it would real help put my mind at ease to have anyone’s feedback on this mixture and if I should work to improve it before going with it for some trees. I have my nice “first” tree in Boons Mix and will most likely use that for refinement, but after having read through SO much soil talk here, I’m feeling almost comfortable enough to go with what I’ve decided, yet I’m hoping to hear some opinions and feedback. I also have all sorts of organic potting mediums from top soils to potting mixes to cactus mixes to Hoffman’s Bonsai soil to soil conditioner with Humus and Pavers Sand. Any thoughts are appreciated!
