pro mix potting mix is this the right one for mangos?
« on: November 04, 2017, 06:46:20 PM »
I tried looking for farfield but can't find it. members talk about commercial line too so I was wondering if this is the right one? I found it at a shop in South el Monte for 30 bucks out the door about 10bucks cheaper then other place I have scoped. 3.8cuft yoo

That should work fine only thing is you will have to add your own slow release fertilizer to the mix

the only thing in the potting mix at the time is Listed below. so thats why i said about adding some Slow release fertilizer

 SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS (65-75%)
PERLITE
LIMESTONE
WETTING AGENT
MYCORRHIZAE - GHA297 TECHNOLOGY

That's a good deal.  I am using the same ProMix for most of my container plants.  I added wormcast, rock dust, kelp meal, and etc.  I dont think i got the benefit of Mycorrhizae being used in containers.  you may want to add some more perlite to loosing up even more for mangos.

Hey Boxturtle,
Which store did you go to?
I search the PROMIX website and there's no store in South El Monte.
The closest distributor was in Ontario.
