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!
