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.

geranium potting mix

19 years ago

Can dry oak shred be used to bulk out a bed for expanding my pet geranium?

It blooms year round in a pot that's nearly three feet across. I want to divide and make a huge bed, where the plant will be as large as a car! A neighbor just lost a big red oak to lightning and the stump-shred pile is nearly as large as a car.

Thanks for help!
