Charlie, I most often buy#1 sunshine mix at the local farmers coop. I bought 3 bags of earth gro at walmart about 2 days ago because I did not want to drive into town. Two ladies at checkout was talking about how they used it and how goog it was. After I got it home I decited it would be good driveway patch. I then drove over into the edge of Ok. to M & M nursery to get sunsine mix, but they were sold out. I did buy the last 2.8 cuft. bag of their own mix, which I am happy with sofar. I do feel it is a little too fine for potting mix and is a much better seed starting mix.

I tried out my first bag of Sta-Green Flower & Vegetable Planting Mix this week and so far have really liked it. For what it's worth.

I bought it at Lowe's. A 1 cubic ft. bag was $2.97 however a 2 cubic ft. bag was $6.97. What?!? Now, I'm no math major but..... :-)

Slowpoke, is that M&M near Cameron? I've still never made it to check them out but will definitely have to if they sell potting mix & that sort of thing.

Charlie,
I've used several over the last few years. Pro-Mix was one I really liked but can no longer find around here. I had used a SunGro product for a few years. Last year it was continued and replaced with a new improved version. I severely stunted two trays of plants with it. This year I'm trying Fertilome High Performance and the new improved Miracle Grow. Most though will be transplanted into a mix from Ball. It is a very good mix. Used to be higher in cost. Now it is actually cheaper to use. Bought two 2.8 cu ft bags last week. Around 16 dollars per bag. There is a big difference in mixes. Same with seed starting mixes. The plants started in the Miracle Gro seed starting mix have far outpermed the others this year. I plan on posting some pictures to my photobucket site. I just want to say there are several good SunGro products. Among SunGro product lines are Sunshine, Black Gold, Redi-earth and Metro-Mix. The same with all brands. Your local supplier may not stock the one you need. This has just been my experience and opinion. Your experience may vary from mine. Jay

M&M is near Cameron, stay on 112 north and you will see the M&M sign pointing west. They are at 23517 Old hwy 112, ph. 918-654-3482. You may want to call ahead to see if they have what you want because they do a lot of business this time of year. They are not a large operation, but they are my first choice for buying plants.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will search around the Tahlequah area to see what I can find, I know I can find the Sta-Green products at Lowes, I sure get a lot of good info from you good folks.

Charlie

Thanks, Larry! We pass right by there on our occasional trips to Fort Smith so we'll have to swing by next time.

Owiebrain, when ya gonna make it over to Talihina? you better stop in at crooked row gardens and say howdy.

the place i order from has several types of potting soil if you are lookin for a specif one, i can check and see if it is in stock and get a price on it.

right now i only have a couple, baccto, baccto lite, and the organic miracle grow that is mostly bark.

I would not call the miracle grow potting soil as it says to mix 50/50 with garden soil.

i know i have seen the pro mix but do not know from one week to the next if they have it in stock.

right now they are out of a lot of garden related murchandise.

Hey, busy! We do need to get over there to visit! We've not been to Talihina since last year when hubby built fence for the bank in town there. You on the main drag?

I'm right next to lawson pharmacy, got a big ole sign out front.
