   No clay.  Decomposed sandstone mixed in with a ton of peet.   
   About 5:1 peet to silt ratio.

   About 1/4 to 1/2".  I fertilized (organic 4-4-6) and   
   turned the soil over before planting.  I can work   
   the soil with my hands.  It is loose.

   I bet you called it.  I hvae not watered them   
   a bunch, fearing I'd make them rot

   Zero yet.  Hopefully they are still dormant and   
   a bunch of water will wake the up.
