I just noticed that my first post did not get posted so here we go again. If you use the potting soil you have to mix it with Qatari soil as the potting soil will be too much as it does not keep the water. I get my soils (both) from one of the garden centres near the vegetable market. Dont remember the name.

Go and steal some from corniche. The part after the marina - jet ski rental. The part before the Islamic art museum.

Sorry, forgot about something. Now is not the time to plant anything. You will have to wait until September at least.

You could try to get the soil & Qatari soil from the Government garden centre neat the airport. Plants tress etc are very reasonable there too.
