My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

good soil, cheap shipping?

19 years ago

I live in Brooklyn, NY and I don't have a car. This makes getting soil home pretty difficult. Also the local 'boutique' garden store charges $4.50 for 5 lbs! Does anyone know of a good mail order source? Also what is the best organic soil for container growing? I grow some pretty standard herbs (basil, sage, mint, parsley, etc) and some pretty standard flowers (mostly petunias and coleus at the moment). Right now everything is annual, even my herbs.
