Well shoot. Just lost my message. I went up to copy/paste your soil recipe into notepad and then when I came back just closed the thread. I thought I had already sent my reply. Thanks for the recipe. I am printed several suggestions then I will go on a hunt today for ingredients.
Anyhoooo, I haven't mixed up my soil but will today. Question: I have some clay pots from 6" to 12" across the tops. I was thinking of putting the soil mix in there and burying them in the garden spot I have chosen to the rims. Do you think that would be okay? I hate to have them above ground as it would put the semps up in the air in the winter and risk having sufficient snow to protect them. I have looked for planters but the ones at Lowe's that are shallow look like the dishes you put under the pots and don't hold a lot of soil plus they are crazy expensive. I would love to build my own troughs but that isn't in the cards right now. Maybe later this summer.
