I've been using the cheap Lowes potting soil for a few years. It looks to be largely organic stuff. That is, it isn't just garden "dirt". OK, so that sounds right. Nice consistency coming out of the...

I buy Perlite and Peat Moss to my black much also. The all organic stuff deteriorate so quickly that a level 5 gallon pot will sink 4 inches in a season. If I had a choice between the two, pick Perlite. The peat will deteriorate also - the perlite will not. Jim in So. Calif. Yes, that's what I assumed. Even the peat moss will eventually decompose, though the stuff is fibrous enough that some structure may remain. I just want some mix...

I am thinking of trying something next Spring. My figs never produce more than a handful of fruit because it seems they need about a month more warm weather than they get here. I'm wondering if I built a cold frame over them in the Spring if I could perhaps warm the soil and get them started growing a month earlier. Does anyone do this? thanks.

I don't know exactly what product you are describing when you say "potting soil". There are pre-packaged soils out there for seed starting that are light and fluffy; potting soils that are coarse and have small chucks of wood in them; and then topsoil that is mainly made out of decomposed organic stuff. I am assuming that since you described it as getting clogged and muddy when ...

Does any one have any experience with them and have any suggestions about what to get? Costco has a $300 coupon next week for a 8'x12' that will be $1300 after the discount. I assume at that price it's going to be polycaronate not ...
