Arnold and Kelly, I have found that is excellent as the primary component of a mix, not just an ammendment. It is a little expensive, but it last much longer than peat mixes. And hosts less diseases. It can be keep dry to grow mediterranean bulbs or wet to grow aquatics.Quite versatile. The more you buy the cheaper. The big bales are yur best best bet for the $. I have thought about importing it to sell (the small cubes)w/ my plants.
