ive screened the mame soil to 1/8 , shohin to 1/4 , and mixed to the species of the trees i have
You mean 1/8 "inch" and "1/4 inch"? And is this the maximum or minimum particle size? Sorry I don't know where you are or what measurement system you're talking about, but I think 1/4 inch is pretty huge unless you're making a "drainage layer."

Here you'd get so much air moving through a 1/4 mix that it would probably dry out very quickly. I'd think 1/4 on shohin would be the maximum size particle you'd want in the mix, not the smallest.
Regards,

Matt
