And we do love them soil discussions...

While we're here...I don't know if anyone is interested, but I emailed the company that makes Turface and asked them if they might make it more readily available. Possibly by selling smaller bags at Lowes/Home Depot etc. If this is something you would like to see as well, please send them a message indicating such. Here is the link, they also have phone numbers posted.

By peat, do they mean the composted or the fine stuff? Pretty sure it's the composted stuff, right? Important to mention for people who haven't yet partaken of the delicate nuances of..... soil discussion.

Joanie

Gravel meaning grit like chicken grit, lava rock, actual gravel, etc.

The main reason they mentioned that people were using fir bark instead of peat is because of the difficultly removing all the fines from the peat.
