G'day Brian, et al...

I'm one of those "local club" guys (expert might be stretching it), and I DO
NOT... repeat, DO NOT use cactus mix. Not even for cactus or succulents.

My soil mix (past 2 years), having evolved across about 7 years, is basically
non- organic (pumice, lava, OilDri), with about 5%, or less, organic. It works
for me.

Spring is here! Green is busting out all over (title for a song?)! My natives
(desert) are lagging a little.

Have a good day.
