Planting some cheap and "weed like" Vinca flowers along my pool fence today. My red Mexican bird of paradise is finally going into full bloom near the backside of my yard. Adds some height to the smaller plants in front and finally looks nice.

Missed this part. Take into account that peat lowers your PH a tad as well. Might actually be enough, depending on the potting soil you use. In addition, to really drive the roots down and out, don't water till the leaves begin to wilt a little. This means they have gone as far as they can go for water. Keep doing that and the roots will dig. This only works with a deep pot that won't dry out uniformly with the upper soil. Roots will seek out moisture. Root grow helps but not much.
