Thanks, that mix sounds like Mel's mix if my memory is working right.

I used whatever potting soil that my wife had when I stepped them up to 4" pots. Now I regret that. I guess I will have to mix my own now. I hear that if you ever start mixing your own, you can never go back to ready made potting mix.

Not totally true. I am just lazy enough that I will make do depending on my mood. LOL. It may not give you the same warm fuzzy feeling, but its quick and painless to just open a bag and dump.

Then the great feeling of crossing something off the to do list compensates. LOL. Sometimes I just throw a banana peel and a couple of crushed egg shells into the pot just before I dump the store mix. Makes it feel sort of homemade.LOL
