All, I have been using LC mix for quite some time, but started recycling it using the 3LBs method for about 6 months
My recycled mix retains too much water, and after 5-6 days the pots still feel pretty heavy.
Is the solution to add more peat or perhaps more perlite?
I would like to increase drainage and retain a bit less water between waterings.
Thanks for any insights you may have.
