Buy and make what you can afford...get everything on sale at big box at end of season.....purchase it even if you do not need it.

Sooo, what are you using this spring?
Thanks for the extra info about cactus mix stuff! Didn’t know you could use that kind! Neat!

Here’s what I’ll be using. I start with a base of Miracle Gro Moisture Contol Potting Mix about 50%. I add in some Miracle Gro Garden Soil for flowers about 30-50% and then mix in peat moss 20-30%. After all that gets mixed together I then throw in play sand. Just about a garden shovel full. This combo seems to have worked so far. Sound pretty good?!

Thanks again for all the help I’ve gotten so far! Truly appreciate it!
