I would like to share with the group about potting soils.My Sister in law worked for Earl May and we all have got trees or plants from the Nursery  Have you wonder whats  in the pot ??? Tree Bark  peat perlite slow release fertilizer.So next time you go and get a bag of Miracle-Gro look at the back on ingredients you will see tree products their is no soil in these anymore. A plant or Fig tree will only give you back what you put into them. One of my friends tells everyone around here the man can grow roots on a Rock.

Plants thrive when their roots are in soil that is rich in the nutrients.
