Re: A passion to sow
Great pictures, love to see small plants and seedlings Thanks for sharing. Any chance you could show us how you grow them from the moment you sow the seeds ?

Re: A passion to sow
The Economist is not the only one interested to know what your growing mix is? Is it a pure mineral mix with no organic matter.

Re: A passion to sow
A lot ask me, but I don´t do special recipes, I avoid to fertilize also. I use a very mineral substrate, the 20% of the substrate have a mix between humus and normal soil. The principal mineral is red lava(scoria), very small particles, between 2-3 mm, like 10% limestone and 10% construction sand, very good for species from North Mexico
