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.

Steve's Mix

17 years ago

Steve's Mix:

4 parts moisture control potting mix (no sand! usually a 5:1:1 or close pre-bagged)...MG Moisture Control will fit

2 parts Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss (must be mixed in, but only somewhat so it doesn't block the water...very important)

1 part Manure or Compost or other mineral rich additive
