No places ready to plant yet, so I want to pot up all my new dwarfs and medians and a few small TBs to give them extra growing time.

I have seen that Miracle-Gro and fine bark recipe that Neal posted recently (probably too expensive for my pile) and I have known some to plant in what looks like pure compost Just found Arlyn’s interesting post including potting instructions. I also have the recipe from a grower of daylilies who sells in pots. It has 6 ingredients, peat, perlite, sand, soil, compost or soil pep and osmacote! What do the rest of you potters use? I think I would prefer a mixture including some garden soil. Some soiless mixes break down and don’t want to have to pack soil in under the rhizomes in the future.
