I bought some "composted" garden soil about a year or so ago. Basically it is just cane waste ( bagas? ) mixed with black sand.
I used some immediately for my Crotons and they have not done well. One died!!
I have worked out that this stuphph has two problems:
a) It is not well composted when it arrives and so the roots of the plants get burned as the composting takes place.
b) It sheds water.
I left some for 12 months and it is now reasonable but still not a good soil. I have mixed some activator with it to see how it fares.
I also think I need to water it with wetter the first couple of times.
Anybody have any ideas???
