With
Mirical grow pot mix
1 bag palm and cactus mix
20% purlight
And mixed stone on bottom for drainage .
It seems to work ok but costly about 20 dollars a pot and I have 30 of them .
Between bananas and citrus trees .
And this year I got a batch of bag soil that was full of gnats .
Doas any one have a good mix that would work with my dirt type .and not coast so much .
I do have a large garden and compost area .but many people warn against using your home dirt from bananas .
Thanks for any advice.
