I've also noticed that all of my pots, whether layered or not, have most of the roots at the bottom. After all, roots do grow downwards so that makes sense. I don't bother layering (the ones that are layered were givent to me like that). I do however put a layer of pebbles at the bottom-but that's because I don't use screens on the drainage holes. When I dig in the yard here, the soils aren't layered and the trees do just fine . Susan marsh Yards and pots are a bit different. HOWEVER, natural soil is, in fact, layered. The upper layers are mostly organic, the next layers are mostly mineral, and the lower layers are _all_ mineral. As I said earlier, it probably doesn't really matter if you layer your soil, but it's easier not to. :-) Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - People, when Columbus discovered this country, it was plum full of nuts and berries. And I'm right here to tell you (that) the berries are just about all gone. -- Uncle Dave Macon, musician ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Bob Pastorio++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
