I use Sunshine Organic potting mix for my transplants. I have everything from 2 1/2" pots up to Number 5 containers and everything does very well. I mix in a bit of Bradfield before I fill the pots.

Good question. So far it has been Vermont Compost Fort V, but I have found
it too heavy for many plugs and potted plants. Friends use the basic Fafard
mix, but it is not organic. I looked locally for large bags of perlite to
lighten the Fort V and couldn't find it, plus it is a dusty pain to work
with. I currently have them in 2-inch pots with the Fort V and they are
doing OK. But I know from the algae I had on lots of things, and the bricks
it turned into in hanging baskets that I need to do something different.

Quick question on the Spicey Globe in pots. To pot them up for sale at the
market, what mix are you using?

I would like to put Spicy Globe basil in small decorative pots and get a
better price. The only ones I find at the Dollar Store do not have drain
holes. I have always used pots with drain holes and saucers.

Has anyone had experience using 4" pots without drain holes? Thank you.
