]]> Comment on Moisture Control Miracle Grow Potting Soil is No Good by Bill Britton http://patwelsh.com/wpmu/blog/soils/moisture-control-miracle-grow-potting-soil-is-no-good/comment-page-1/#comment-4133 Bill Britton Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:20:02 +0000 http://patwelsh.com/wpmu/?p=1576#comment-4133 I've used Moisture Control Miracle Grow Potting Soil for several years.

Do you have any advice on how I can bring the soil back to grow other plants? I've managed to get a few tomatoes to grow in a spot not far from the root but they are undersized. I've been adding a lot of organic compost but I'm not sure what the soil needs. Thank you! We removed a Ca Pepper Tree from our yard a few years ago.
