No. Very heavy clay. Brick hard after years of adding amendments. The
planting medium in the tub was a mishmash of collected material from old
pots mixed with new potting soil and stuff 'til there was enough to fill the
tub. It ended up being a pretty tight soil medium, but there's not much
telling what all went into it. Saving used potting mixes - isn't that
what's called 'thrifty'?
