Title: Growing in Spanish River Carbonatite
Post by: drtd on April 12, 2014, 12:12:43 AM

Anyone use this stuff? I have a bag coming in from Canada next week and I was curious about how people have been using it. Top dress, or mixed in? If top dress, how often? The website has some general info, but I like hearing it from those who actually use the stuff specifically for alpines.

The Ontario RGHPS  seem keen on it : http://www.onrockgarden.com/news/spanish-river-carbonatite-alpines (http://www.onrockgarden.com/news/spanish-river-carbonatite-alpines)
Perhaps some of Harvey Wrightman's notes and videos etc on his site would be helpful?
