Made up a new batch of "Kens Mix" today

Each batch is made up of
2 bags Akadama 2-6mm
2 Bags Pumice 1-7 mm
1 bag of 2mm+ Zeolite

Mix all together in a Cement mixer and then bag up into 14L plastic bags,
Each then weighs in at about 12kg so they are a nice size for us older folk to handle. If you only have a few trees or just want to try out inorganic mixes then these are an easy way to do so.
Note that when repotting trees in these mixes they are 80% reusable so workout to be really cost effective and environmental6y friendly :-)

Each bag is $40 and I can send 2 bags in a box via sendle at the usual price.

Hey Ken, do you send your "Ken's Mix" to any stockists down here in Adelaide, or is that a mail-order only one?

Hi Ken,
Do you have any of your mix available, I live local.
Would like to try on some figs. I'm still using the 90's version of the "Kor" castle hill type mix- roadbase\cow manure.
Everyone seems to be using newer products now, these weren't available back then.
can't pm yet as new member.
