Hi all,

I posted this question in a different thread first but was advised to separated it.

I am considering a 5-1-1 or a gritty mix (or some variation) for large containers.

I would like to move the planters from time to time and am curious about the weights of the mixes.

Can anybody post weights of 1 gallon (or a liter or 4 liters to compare with a gallon) of different mixes, please?

For example:

1) 5-1-1

1 gallon ..... lbs (kg)

Mix:

5 parts Orchid Bark (pine bark fines), 1-2 parts Perlite, and 1 part Peat Moss

2) gritty mix

1 gallon .... lbs (kg)

1 part uncomposted screened pine or fir bark (1/8-1/4"), 1 part screened Turface, 1 part crushed Gran-I-Grit (grower size), 1 Tbsp gypsum per gallon of soil

If you have your other favorite mix, please post it too!

Thanks!
