Hi folks! ALL of you are heroes. At this point, I’m looking at raised beds done exactly according to @putitintheground’s thread here: How to Ground Grow the Telperion Way
I’m waffling between expanded shale and pumice. Cost will be a factor. I expect to put 8 trees in the ground in my yard to see how it goes (zone 8A): 2x nejikan poms, 1x full-size non-nejikan pom, 1x bougainvillea, 1x silver maple, 1x Chickasaw plum, 1x crape myrtle, 1x bald cypress. We’ll see how it goes!
