Wow! Some info I can really use! I live about 4 miles from them. My
daughter worked for them for years. Where is this pile of Haydite?

Heinous. It will turn in to muck before summer. I would get you a 35
gallon
rubbermaid trash can and go to Maas nursery in Kemah. For about $10 you
can
fill it with Haydite. Take it from the rain-washed material on top and
you
could minimize fines...
"On top of that, what is the cheapest bark mulch or organic component?"
You can get a "landscaper's soil conditioner" from Walmart for about
$1.99 a
bag.
While this is sacrelage (sp), there are those out there that do minimal
sifting
or none at all but merely water thoroughly after repotting until the
drainage
runs clear...
50-50 or 30-70 will work fine in our clime, watch the watering frequency
if you
don't sift.
Give a shout by PM if you want more info...
