Edward, when I plant root over rock, I use a heap (not quite 100%) dynamic lifter at the bottom of the large black pot.
Generally I take the chook poo up to the level of the rock and from there up I use any old soil.
Two reasons, the first being like Graeme suggests is that the figs are on a massive dose of steroids.
The second reason: using soil from the base of the rock and above is because I only want root growth downwards.
The two distinct separate layers ensure the roots don’t get confused and do anything silly like grow upwards
Only one direction, downwards and then at a great rate of knots.
I have commented about this elsewhere, but try horse bandage tape instead of plastic to wrap the roots and rock. In my opinion you will get a better and faster result.
Regards
Steve

Willow Leaf will drop some leaves on transplanting.

it is pushing new growth pretty well so i guess i was just stressing for nothing. if thats the case that they drop some leaf when transplanted then this thing is gonna boom taking the top half of trees of since 2005!
