yeah, I sure wish I still had a few of my old cars ... $$$$ ... have to sell them, though, I couldnt keep gas in them ... ... as to the soil, my local nursery recommended (they know why I need it) a premium potting soil ... forgot the name, something-farms premium, is all I remember ... doesnt seem too special, but it does have a very good supply of perlite in it ... was close to neutral pH when I bought it, havent tested it since ... plants have good color, and I use ionized water ... to hell with it, it's a weed ... lol ... :smokin:
