               The graft is an interesting experiment

               Just want to say the potting mix I made has a composted forest floor debris base (mostly old conifer needles) rather than peat moss.  After sitting for 6+ months, in addition to the time it sat on the ground, its inert and similar to peat moss.  I think its clever and sustainable?  But I will never attempt to commercialize it beyond my own use.  Someone else can try to figure that out.  
  The secret is to repulverize it (I use a good little lawn mower) and recompost it more than once.  It gets to have a nice soft texture.
