I've often wondered why there is so much bark in the
happy frog. Roots can't grow thru it...they have to grow around the bark pieces. It seems like a mix that is recommended for starts would be more porous. Is their ONLY purpose in using it as a filler?
lmao...yeah bro...It's Christmas tree country all around the mountains. You can't swing a dead cat without getting hair on somebody's trees! I'm betting tho, that most of the bark comes from those tall, skinny-ass Carolina pine trees! Some of the posts I saw about folks having probs with the FF soils now are blaming the new plant too for changing things up. I also saw some talk of FF recycling soils, with peeps finding un-decomposed roots (and lots of them) in the soil bags. I haven't had that prob. If I opened a bag and found roots...I'd go off on somebody's ass! lol! I've always been a huge fan of most things
Fox Farm. I hope they don't let the bean counters and marketing dickheads ruin a good product line. They already put a good scare into me with the whole "Kangeroots vs Microbe Brew" fiasco. There's a couple of products built via the marketing machine, IMO!
