If you have a better method than what I have presented please feel free to share it.

Hi Vance,
Well, I've found nursery trees planted in all kinds of "soil"; sand, loam, bark chips, clay, peat; mixes of all of these. Sometimes you just have to get rid of _all_ or more nursery soil, depends on what you find.
I've had pine or 'blaauw' juniper where the crown and interior area was all clay, not removing some or all, you will be trying to water a pot with two types of soil.
