Countrymax supplies

[Atriax]

I'm doing the planning for my next grow. I was wondering if anyone here has used countrymax potting soil (https://www.countrymax.com/countrymax-potting-soil-40-pounds) . It's affordable and has enough to cover my whole setup that way I don't have to buy a bunch of bags. So is this stuff any good or is it like miracle grow?

I think you have a legitimate reason for a phone call to their support number. I use a different brand soil but it costs about the same so I'm not scared of that price.

so after calling them they said it was basically a bag of dirt. there's nothing special in it. no perlite, nutrients or miracle grow or any sort of additives. just straight dirt. so that may be good as it would be a neutral medium and I can augment it with the ph and nutrients I already have, then add perlite and whatever else and it would probably be cheaper than buying the foxfarms coco coir wich is ridiculously expensive.

One of the first questions I asked here was "what is dirt?" because the bags I bought didn't seem to have any. Now I call it "mix." ​​​​​​

The price went up to $7 USD this year. This is "Fafard Organic Mix" from the same company that makes "Black Gold" if you've heard of that one.

I have heard of black gold. So far the prices for the organic mix you've got there is like 25 USD which is around the same as coco. Can you send me the link from where you're getting it for $7. I'm probably going to try my luck on the next go around with the countrymax or similar soil and treat it with castings and notes and whatever else. That's is unless I find some way to feasibly reuse the coco coir that's currently in my plant pots

I get it at my local nursery. Their store finder is so bad it doesn't show where I buy it but you may find a store near you.

And I use their low end bag (on the left) they don't even talk about it on their website.

they call it potting soil but say soil-less mix on the back
