Wondering what kind of soil mix to put into a new raised bed this spring. I'm thinking of using decomposed granite and/or expanded shale with loam. No peat. I will be planting various hardy opuntias, cylindropuntias, agaves, yuccas, and some cold hardy plants such as Echinocereus coccineus, Echinocactus texensis, and some Escobarias. Basically Chihuahuan Desert species.
Would a blend of the above ingredients (which I use for potting mix) be appropriate for an outside garden?
Outside garden soil mix?
