Hello everyone,.
I've read a lot of of the threads here and got a lot of information.
This my post to try to clear up some doubts I have.
I'm in Jerez, Andulcia and about to sow my first VFTs. I've struggled to find the right stuff in local shops. I was wondering if this would be ok http://www.leroymerlin.es/fp/16239622/t ... -garden-5l
I'd be very grateful for info from other people in my area on places to buy VFT related stuff and how suitable our climate is. I think our temperatures are similar to the Carolinas.
Cheers.

Yup, as long as there are no fertilizers in it, that's the stuff you need.

Yes, as you said, and just got a email from the producer confirming it doesn't have anything added and is suitable for VFTs.
The this morning I mixed it with some sand and vermiculite and planted my first VLTs!

Right on, share some pics if you don't feel too bashful.
