Soil Mixing Station

Once you keep more than a few trees, buying bags of finished soil gets expensive and imprecise. Mixing your own means choosing how much water each species holds: akadama for retention, pumice for air, lava rock for structure. Sieve the dust out before it clogs a pot, keep mesh within reach, and stock one premixed bag for the repot you did not plan for. The retention component. Keeping air in the mix. Structure that does not break down. Sorting particle sizes. When you skip the mixing. Holding the mix in the pot.
