Amy,

My .02

I have found that the pings from the SE US like a lot of sand in their
mix... Almost all sand on the top inch of the mix and 50/50 peat sand
in the rest of the mix. Perhaps you could divide the tray in half?

I lost much of my mexican ping collection in a fertilizing disaster and
want to get it started again. If anybody has large plants and wants to
set up a trade for spring, drop me a note with what you will have
available and what you would like in return.

Take care,

-Tom Hayes
