I have tried to" let my fingers do the walking for me" in trying to locate Promix BX potting mix or Fafard potting mix..you would not believe the various price range on this product..3.8 cu. ft. #1 store was $49.95, #2 is asking $39.95 but it is 20 miles away, #3 $49.95 #4 $58.95...Nobody seems to have Fafard..the story I'm getting about Fafard is that all stores are sold out but Fafard is coming out with a new product/potting mix and it won't hit the stores until sometime in Feb. I found a small bag of Premier Promix at a garden Center I went to the other day. No BX..
I have 5 milk jugs waiting to be filled with seed and if I don't find potting mix for them this weekend, my husband will put them out in the recycle bin. These are already labeled and cut and holes punched in..this forces me to buy Miracle Grow today from Home Depot..but I will not buy the moisture control variety. I will buy a bag of perlite to have on hand..how much perlite should I add to the 1 cu. ft. bag of MG? Should I just mix a certain amount into my 5 gal. Homer bucket instead of pouring the perlite in the entire tub of MG? I do not have the storage space for 3.8 cu. ft. bales. Last year I bought some big plastic tubs from K-mart and that is what I keep my potting mix in and I have another one for mulch. It beats the bags getting broken open and scattered all over the garage floor.
Has anybody ever used Black Gold potting mix? One of the garden centers sells this brand. I think it has Coir in it.
