new thread potting mixtures
i am starting to get confused ,as a lot of growers use different methods &
give different answers!i have read in the RHS garden encylopedia(which is like a bible for gardeners)that pine or fir bark are a excellent potting medium with some additions to keep the mixture open & prevent it from becoming sour.a suitable compost mix is as follows:3 parts medium grade bark(dust free),1 part coarse grit or perlite,1 part charcoal pieces and 1 part broken dry leaves or fibrous peat substitute or peat. Ray says dont use pine?i can understand why not to use bbq charcoal due to poss added fuel etc,but why not pine? anyone got any comments on this mixture, as like i said it is from the RHS book,& what they dont no isnt worth knowing! thanks keith |
