Please dont tell me that, I thought they were all the same.
Well I know they aren't.
I had to drive to Austin to get the last of my stainless kettle collection.
The 16 quart kettle my favorite one of all.

All the big stores are the same, in that they hardly ever keep the same items very long in their inventory and on shelves. I bought some flooring tiles at Menard's once - they had a big end cap display of one product. Then I went back two weeks later and asked for more of the same thing, and the employees were like "are you kidding? That was two weeks ago, man," as if it had been two decades and not two weeks.

I know of three people in Alaska that happened to.
All three bought wood floor tiles or something on closeout or discontinued.
They had one damaged or what ever and they went back.
We dont carry that anymore.
Well you think it did say close out.

Oh I'm going to have to check my local one!

This looks like the one that I buy in Canada. I really like it for growing tomatoes in containers!

What is organic :: Peat Moss, Pine Bark, Forest Products, coco Coir , ..?
What is NOT Organic ?

[Rajun Gardener]

I'm just guessing but there's no synthetic fertilizer.

It is specially formulated with an organic fertilizer that provides gradual feeding to your plants, gypsum for amazing tomato growth, and MYCOACTIVE that will help produce vigorous growth and a bountiful and healthy harvest.

Yeah, there the catch : Organic fertilizer.

[greenthumbomaha]

It could also be moisture retaining crystals are not present in the organic version. At least that is the case with the standard and organic Wonder Soil bales.

That's it too Lisa, here's the mix
Canadian sphagnum peat moss
Peat humus
Compost
Perlite
Gypsum
Limestone
Organic fertilizer
Mycorrhizae - GHA297 Technology


I went back to Wally World and they had the Pro-Mix on display. I picked up 4 more bales of the Organic mix. Somebody messed up on the pricing so the register gave me the advertised price. It rang up for 17.97. SCORE!!




They also had bales of Canadian sphagnum peat moss

Must be a southern thing.

My Wally's only just got their seed display up.
No gardening mix of any kind to speak of yet..

They are still clearancing snow shovels and ice-guard salt.

[MadCow333]

Mine doesn't even have snow shovels reduced yet. Nor ice melt. After all, it's only halfway thru February here. Lol.

Does anyone have a picture of the consistency of this product? Is it a soil-less mix?

I might try it, as the potting mix I got from a garden center gives me the black lung every time I try and use it. Once it's wet down and charged, it's great. But until that happens I wear a mask from work to protect me from TB. Otherwise I accidentally inhale it and have not a great feeling in my chest for awhile.

[Ricky Shaw]

You got to wear a mask working with any mix dry. The short peat and coir fibers ain't so good for you either. And perlite, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, dusts are also very bad. I know that feeling you're talking about, takes your breath almost, then a dry hack.
