Walmart Cactus and Succlent soil..
What is this garbage? I don't even think I would plant a weed in this crap.
It also says : "Ideal for palms"...
Maybe dead ones...

Looks like mostly wood? Probably better than mostly peat

Re: Walmart Cactus and Succlent soil..
hahaha probably Ian, but still I wouldn't grow a weed in that crap. It looks fantastic for killing things.

'Cactus & Patio / Container [....] Mix'? Wow, and I thought mixes for both cacti and palms were being optimistic.

Re: Walmart Cactus and Succlent soil..
LMAO yeah I know.. It's like more than likely that stuff would kill EVERYTHING they designed it for.. And yes Ian you could do that. And yes Tracey I would maybe have to add some DE and some other stuff to it to make it usable!

Re: Walmart Cactus and Succlent soil..
Ok, super dumb question. Uh, what is DE? I know that DG is decomposing granite, but DE?
WAIT---I think I have it....
DE= diatomaceous earth. Right?

I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

When it says "ideal for palms" it means it's a good exfoliator for your hands?

I don't grow palms but I suspect it might be good soil for them. Or at least adequate?Bruce wrote:When it says "ideal for palms" it means it's a good exfoliator for your hands?
I like the idea of Miracle Gro Cactus, Palm, and Citrus soil. Who on earth would possibly think that an Orange tree and a Mammillaria want to be in the same soil?
