Soil mix
One of the most important thing while gardening is potting mix. It becomes very important to fix the environment where we grow our plants.
Qualities of good soil mix -
1. Water retention - As the size of pot is small/limited, we need to use proper mix to retain water.
2. Drainage - Excess water should be drained from pot to avoid root rot.
3. Weight - Should be light weight, helps to move pots easily.
4. Nutrition - Use of proper compost and plant food. As roots in plants have limited space to grow, providing timily nutrition is important.
