  Re: In-ground Planting Mix

dear dan,

i am in west central florida, so our climates are very different, but perhaps
my experience with greenhouse beds will help some. i did not use the rock
layer because our sand drains rapidly. i used peat instead of coir +
composted pine bark + perlite + compost from a friend. i dug the beds out to
24 inches and added the mix. it has been about 6 yrs and the soil surface
has sunk about 20 inches. of course our heat here and my keeping the
greenhouse at 60 deg in the winter, plus heavy irrigation would cause a more
rapid breakdown of the medium. i think it's time to dig out my beds and
start again.
