Whoops, I didn't mean to imply that at all. As far as I know, Mandragora
is perfectly happy in a neutral soil. I only insist on the lime-free
granite because I use it for other plants, so I have the ability to adjust
the PH on my own. Granite is completely neutral, to my knowledge.

Sounds good to me. Let your plants guide your way, however.
Good, luck!
