    Default Planting with ABG mix - questions

    So I'm setting up the 18x18x24 and using the ABG mix. Got the hole drilled in the bottom, made the false bottom with egg crate stuff, covered it with a few layers of screening now I'm ready to plant. I have the ABG mix soaking in frog safe water but it so chucking and loose.


    Question are:

    Do I plant directly in this stuff or do I add soil to it also?

    If I plant directly into this so I pack it down tight?


    I need the help of the planting people please.


    Thanks.

    Hi Gail,
    It's amazing how great this soil mix is
    Yes , plant directly into the ABG.
    Yes, you can....... very , very gently push the soil down -around -the base of a plant . NOT too hard
