My brother has a nice Cactea (female) but her home is to small.

We have a nice big pot for it, but the question is of course: how here to get decent potting soil? A friend told us that we should simply container a molehill in the city park. So we went there, but of course no molehill was there:

We started searching in our neighborhood. Soon we found some, but they were on protected ground.

We went around the corner and grabbed a decent molehill. Real container feeling.

Then we thought about refining the soil with some sand. The baltic sea is close to where we live so we quickly went there for a sapde of sand.

Finally, we repotted her @home.

This is the result.
