Just remember, everyone, there are no organics in Boon's mix---so keep that in mind when deciding on a fertilizing regimen.

I have a few trees potted up in Howard & Sylvia Smith's mix with no organics---I am not sure if it is the exact same as Boon's mix (they are Boon's students)---and then I have the rest of my trees in some or another of my own mixes, all of which do have organics (pine bark).

I have only used the Smith's mix for one growing season thus far so I cannot yet tell a huge difference in those trees' growth vs. the others, although they are doing beautifully and have put out a ton of new growth. But I did adapt my feeding regimen accordingly.
