Grit Ph levels

Post by lowlegs »

are diferent sorts of grit suited better for different trees? ive been using one type my trees are all healthy,but just think they need a bit more love...i am currently using washed tarago sand. would some be suited for acidic loving trees and others for less tolerant trees.
