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.

Sources for soil-less mix ingredients in/around Seattle

14 years ago

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of the folks in the Seattle area could share in any tips/leads on the ingredients for the ever popular 5-1-1 or 3-2-1 soil-less mixes. Particularly the bark fines and Sunshine Advanced Mix #4 for Raybo's 3-2-1.

I'm looking to make a pretty good quantity of a mix (~1 cu yd).

Sorry if this has been asked a million times - my searches didn't come up with anything.

Thanks!
