yakfisher Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Getting ready for the delivery of a 5 footer and collecting substrate for a diy propagating sand mix (big shed propagating sand/ laterite shell grit/marble chips etc). instead of laterite which is either tricky to find or expensive in the box can i use the classic rich red soil of Northern NSW (tyagerah/murwulimbah/brunswick valley)? I gather it is high in iron and other minerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
