I was told by a lady who grows stevia commercially as a crop, that you need to mix the soil 1/2 sharp sand. Stevia is very sensitive to wet roots, so very good drainage is important. She said this is why most people fail with stevia.

I've tried growing it because it is so sweet and healthy, but have been
unsuccessful. That, indeed, would be the best option. Buying it is an
expensive option, and not what I could afford. I probably need to come
up with new scheme to grow it, but I kind of thought perhaps my altitude
was the problem.

Why not try stevia for Ron's sweet tea? It's a thousand
times sweeter and does not raise one's glycemic index. I
think stevia will even grow where I live, and I like the
taste.--S

Ron drinks way too much sweet tea. I made a gallon of
tea a day, yet in
that gallon, there is 1.5 cups sugar. He used to put
2.5 cups sugar in
it, but I have slowly scaled him back. (I don't think
sweet tea) Would
something like agave nectar be a good substitute, or
would it change the
tea's taste too much? I've seen the cans at the store.
