First, to jog your memory, I re-loaded a photo of my "container". (24' x 2' x 1.5')

After reading all the posts here and on GW, I am thinking of modifying your mix a little to the following:
45- 50% pine bark mulch, 20-25 % peat, 15% perlite and 15% turface. I can cook up what I need for about $200.00 and if I can get three years out of it the cost is manageable.

What do you think????

BTW - Turface "MVP" is the same as Turface "ALL SPORT" - "ALL SPORT" is MVP that is private branded to JOHN DEERE LANDSCAPING.
