Use all potting soil --topdress with the composted manure. Don't have them sitting in a saucer or etc, and if they are sitting directly on the ground, don't be surprized if they root right through the holes in the bottom of the pot and into the ground. All of mine did that last year. When they get bigger and temps are warmer-water, water, water and use lots of fertilizer, such as miracle grow, etc. At least 200 ppm daily, with each watering.
When they root into the ground, they quit blowing over!
