hey itchy

i think they mention veggie patches and raised gardens. they might be a bit curious about the the lack of pine bark in our soils over commercial potting mixes though and the presence of pumice or scoria.

hopefully a few gardeners doing square foot gardening have sent in some samples .... those peeps seem to add a bit of peat, perlite and compost here and there.

would really like to find something similar (price wise) to check water and cides.
