Thanks, Joy. I think it would be a stretch to refer to our weather as cool
, but not much in the triple digits yet. I think I used too much coarse material in the potting mix. It drains well, but I think it has decomposed and the mix has shrunk 1-4". On some it's too much to top dress with risking burying the crown too deep. I don't worry about that in the smaller containers because they are supposed to go into larger containers as soon as they grow anyway. It's those big clay pots. I'm just going to have to dump everything out and add material to the bottom and sides, I think. The wood chips and pine bark were too large I guess, but there were other things that probably lost volume as it decomposed as well. I probably won't attempt to do them all, just those with the worst shrinkage.
