  • @pigknuckles211

    I use 1 part peat-based compost, 1 part soil-based compost and 1 part fine grit (not gravel or pea shingle). What would you recommend?

    She might have felt a little nervious about having a camera pointing towards her. should have been allowed to take 2 or even 3.

  • Use a strainer and strain out the fine sand keeping the course sand.

  • cement!! let's start the rotting

  • Mixing fine sand and peat is a great way to make cement for your cacti to thrive in. Take that, roots!

  • This is hilarious! (Though I feel sorry for her...)
