Hi Kylie, congrats on the willy wagtail babies!! A huge butcher bird
keeps eating mine...very sad. As for potting mix, the only stuff I've had
any luck with (I even use it for Bonsai plus other stuff of course) is
spent mushroom compost; a bag from Big W is about $8 I think? My modern
potting mix is horrible and won't grow a thing either. Give the mushroom
stuff a go. Did you manage to get hold of my dad?

i haven't tried yet! i had this idea of contacting him for some tips after
hippie solar dude visits us - well, mainly i'm just very disorganised, i
think! do be sure to tell him not to _wait_ for me g. sorry about that.

thanks for the mushroom tip! i've been thinking about getting some after
reading through (parts of) garden len's site, & other sites where people
sing its praises, (& also it is cheap!) i feel a bit more inclined to
track some down now & see what it's like. there's no way it could be worse
than some of the crap i've had recently.
thanks!!
kylie


Absolutely! I used some once to mix some bonsai potting mix, and noticed the
change in the trees, so now I use it for everything. See if you can track
down a local mushroom farm as they sell it cheapetr than Big W.

Dad won't mind when you contact him, he's not exactly the most time
conscious person either....probably a better idea to chat to hippie solar
dude about what you want to do first anyway.
