Then follow these steps:
Preparing the mix:
In a bag: Add the desired amount of soil to a large bag or container.
Mix it all together: Stir the cut sponge pieces into the soil. Mix well to ensure the sponges are evenly distributed throughout the soil.
Using in pots:
Add a little soil: Place a layer of soil in the bottom of the pot.
Add a layer of your new mix: Add a layer of your soil-sponge mix on top of the first layer of soil.
Repeat as necessary to fill the pot, alternating layers of soil and soil-sponge mix.
This process maximizes the benefits of the sponges in the soil, improving moisture retention and aeration, while ensuring a healthy environment for your plants’ roots.
