I'm glad to have found this site, thanks for setting it up. My question is along the same lines as onewebfoot, so I'll be following that thread as well.
What is the preferred growinig media for mango, guava, lychee in containers?
I've asked on the GW tropicals forum and got a few replies. Based on these replies and Google searches, the best I could come up with was a "high peat" mix. The nursery recommended a 50-75% peat mix. Another source recommended Promix + 1/4 peat for coffee, and this is currrently what I use in the containers.
Are any of these suitable for a raised bed (good drainage, topsoil well-amended with compost, pH 6.8 to 7.0)? Perhaps if I amended with some additional peat?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
