Oh, I feel your pain in the literal and metaphorical sense. I've been mixing a home-made potting mix of aged pine bark, sand, a little peat and some additives like fish meal, then potting and repotting as weather allows. The only source I can find for the aged bark is about 65 miles away so I picked a day, rented a truck, and drove up to buy it. It was -10 that morning so I was stuck huffing 2.8 cf bags of mulch that were frozen solid! The things we do for daylilies...
