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.

Potting soil - ???

18 years ago

I bought a bag of potting soil at WalMart, and I don't remember the brand. It was not their brand, and not Miracle Gro. They had a pallet of it earlier and since I had read the opinions against MG and the WM brand, I bought this one. I liked it really well, and of course so did everyone else because when I needed more it was gone. So then I got a bag of potting soil at Atwoods. I was not happy with it, lumpy and hard after sowing. I needed yet another bag of potting soi so back to WM I went. ( I have limited choices where I am) They had HyPoNex and I got 2 bags of it. Had lots of twigs and even some small rocks. I realize now I need to buy my potting soil at larger towns, possible HD or Lowes, since the two larger towns near me do not have a nursery. What is everyone's recommendation?

Thanks.
