i deleted your other post which was exactly the same as this one, you need to wait more than a minute before posting the same thing again anyways to get back on track i have no idea if that soil is any good, but 3ft deep and wide hole sounds reasonable, although if you are growing in an area with really bad soil you should dig a little deeper to give the roots more room to grow

You may want to add some vermiculite or similar to the potting mix so it retains a bit more moisture, a good mulch on top will help too.

hey

how do u find the soil??

of late (last 2 yrs)

ive been finding it pretty hard to find a good consistent soil for the purpose of outdoor cultivation.

i mean other than the obvious fast growing vege mix by the sq metre at the landscape shop

the majority of the bagged to go brands are nothing but a bark and stick mix...

searles,dynamic lifter,those comporehensive 1s with the added water retaining bits

they all seem to be sticks and bark..does any1 else find this??

i was wondering if others have a secret brand...

a brand that focus' on soil.. not the ammendments..

all help is appreciated

bill, when i use to grow in soil outdoors i found the same thing the potting mix was all peices of bark and sticks im glad theres coco now it can be used indoors or out great stuff

Those pieces of bark and sticks aerate the mixture.

 

Watch out for using these sort of potting mixes if guerrilla growing; they attract termites, especially if the bark and sticks if from pine trees. The termites like the softer wood.
