I'll be interested to see how your new method turns out! A mat of namwah I is doing really really well and water pools around there when it rains, but again drains very well. So I just piled up compost around it, and the feeder roots are coming up into the compost it's really cool to see it just LOVES compost.

Re: I pulled out my Manzano.
Yeah I think the sand just drains too well, cooking the roots maybe? I should get the meter.

one reason behind it is, after it rains all my mats planted this way go back to a ph reading of 7.8. so it is well draining.
