I bought this bag of kelloggs patio plus organic potting soil, and I was wondering what amendments I should add to it to make the soil soft, and more fluffy?
Also, I forgot to mentiom I'm living in so cal, with VERY ARID, AND HOT 95+ summers, so I feel like the mulchy soil will definitely help keep some water down in my fabric pots.
I actually use that "soil" AS mulch. D'oh! It's very splintery.Sounds weird, but make sure to mulch that mulchy soil, lol. Good luck.
Oh... I feel I really must recommend to you, with everything inside my being, to not use fabric pots in this scenario. You are going to go through so much water! I suggest covering the pots, since you've already got them filled, with white plastic. Wanna know what I like to use? Those soil bags, cut open and turned inside out. The plastic totally withstands the heat and the sun and it's going to help do two things--prevent such rapid evaporation as you're going to get, and keep the root zone cooler.Also, I forgot to mentiom I'm living in so cal, with VERY ARID, AND HOT 95+ summers, so I feel like the mulchy soil will definitely help keep some water down in my fabric pots.
