Well, I had really in depth conversation about which trees I owned and what size pots they were going in and what my plans were for the season. I told them I had pine bark, sphagnum moss peat, perlite and molar clay. There advice was to use a 50/50 of molar clay and perlite. They explained it was a drier mix and told me If I found I was watering a lot I could contact them for advice.
I thought it would be a quick answer but they spent ages explaining everything from particle size to temperature, surface tension to storage of nutrients.

I've been given advice from my club and have made my own mix. I also won a Chinese elm cutting in the raffle.

Nice. What did you go with in the end?

Edit. Scratch that, I didn't realise there were more posts. Let us know how you get on.

I will do. It feels good having my own pots and soil. I can repot things now. I can't wait to get a few trees potted up.
