    by|Mar 20, 2024

      A:  Don’t buy a fig tree… You will regret it they get too big, eventually, you will have nasty spoiled fruit all over the place, lots of bugs, and flying insects constantly and ridiculously out of control eventually. They are kind of invasive in Oregon

                Q:This was a suggested soil for bonsai starter sticks and none of them survived. This seemed to be very heavy and not light and or airy like it's described to be. Has anyone used this for Hoya and had any luck? I'm sure you'd need perlite and bark?TIA

                Answer This Question

                A:  For starter bonsai, Ocean Forest is a good choice to start with. Bonsai soil should be mixed with other mediums based on the type of plants you are developing.

                  Q:I want to grow indoor microgreens. Is this soil safe for consuming the microgreens?

                  1 Answer
                  Answer This Question

                  A:  It is too heavy on nitrogen for microgreens and plant starts. Ocean forest works best for transplanting or potting up. You might want to try Fox Farms Happy Frog, many pepper growers use it for they seed starts and young plants.

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  It gets its nitrogen from bat poop, so I would expect it has a high bacterial load. I wouldn't personally use it for a commercial microgreens grow (unless your ozoning your greens). We use HG Maxigrow and flood tubes for greens
