It is what minimizes the weeds and the watering. Start looking now for coarse vermiculite. It may be hard to find in your area. You want to buy a huge bag to make it economical. I buy it in 4′ tall bags. A nursery supply center may get it in for you.
This year when I cleaned my SFG I had to laugh. A slight pull on the tomato stem pulled up all 4′ of the roots. They had been happy to go sideways in the garden rather than penetrating the soil beneath Mel’s Mix. Bet you couldn’t just pull up your tomato roots that way! By the way, that’s how easy the very few weeds come out also.

I just noticed the smiley face at the bottom of your page, where people usually put copy right information.
