We use Black Gold potting soil which has a lot of peat moss and composed sawdust and perlite. It’s $9.00 for 1 1/2 cu foot at our Ace hardware store. Also use it in our planters for one year and then it gets spread on the gaden in the late fall.

PS, I think of you often Johnny...

The peat moss is slightly acidic
The composted sawdust will generally be slightly acidic
and the pearlite provides aearation, and soil friability (adding air and is easily broken up)
and you are in my nightly prayers !

Black Gold has gone up three dollars where I buy it in Central Texas. It's sixteen dollars now. I've been mixing it with LC1 brand.
