My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

My new fig in container

13 years ago

I have a new fig in a container. It came with broken pecan shells on the top of the soil. Is there any reason the grower might have done this?

Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
