Actually, it is 2:1 ratio sand/loam mix. I have put 2 boxes of sand and 1 box of loam mixed together in big box before filling it to display.

I don't know but maybe it has to do with soil compressed too much before I add the water? Or I fill up water too quickly?

Last of all, there's no manual instruction book comes with farm setup? Eg mix, filling up probably, how often to water, what to avoid etc.

Dear barnettgs,

sorry but our manual instruction ist in Download at this moment only in german, but we want make it in english too.
Now we have only the Forum for support, instruction and help.

The mix 2:1 sand/loam is OK, but sometimes is 3-4:1 better.

Hello barnettgs,

If is somewhat unclear to you or you have questions to our products, so you can use our forum.

If I looked on the picture , I think also, that you haven' t good mixed.
I think if you water it all 2-3 days, it is enough. With the time you also receive the correct feeling for it.

Cheers
Uta :sun02:

Edit: oh, Martin was faster :D
