Yea i just got a HUGE bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest for $16.99 at my local hydroponics store. Its pretty much ONLY sold at specific places, But if yu Google Fox Farm you can easily find the website and it will let u know a close place that its sold at. Thats wat i did, turned out it was sold not even 15 minutes away from me, But its the only one in 150 miles. lol. you win some yu lose some. But a wise choice in soil.

I use whiney Farms and Perlite (2 to 1 more or less). add about a teaspoon of dolomite lime and extra boxed organic mixed fertilizer (1/8 cup) per gallon of mix. More fertilizer when potting into last stages. Boxed fertilizer contains: bone meal dried poultry waste,cottonseed meal etc. etc. etc. But most importantly it contains mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria to digest the food for my plants and make the soil a nice place to live. if I'm rich at the time I also add (one of the only things I add as much as the directions say) extra soil fungus. My hydro guy had a little bag i bought for about 5$. he wasn't way up on it, But soil microbes ROCK. I definitely see a difference when using it.

Fox Farms is pretty premo stuff I see the label and it adds up a little acidic to me. Check the threads at the beginning of "Organics". Some good soil mixes in there, cheaper than mine and Fox farms. Saving money good.

Two things I do that I don't see mentioned a lot;
Dolomite lime-sparingly
Soil Fungus (I think I'll start a religion)

Both my method and Fox farms (If I was using fox perlite would need to be added) are pretty expensive. I'm going to read up and see what the wise young people of rollitup have to say (stickys) before I invest in my next soil batch.

I'm going to look into the fox farm organic to see if there's a place in my area that I can get it that's close ... Up till now I have been using ProMix organic soil, it has - Canadian Sphagnum Peat moss (cause im Canadian)
- Mycorise Biological Growth enhancer
- Organic sea-based compost, (not sure of the breakdown)
- Perlite
- Limestone

It seems to be working great for me,,I have not had any trouble..

simply the best soil is the soil u make urself. u no wut is in it and exactly how it made. also for the intial investment u can buy the ingredients in bulk bags and have enough to keep u growin for a good long time for only pennies compared to the name brand stuff. if you would like a recipe for an excellent soil that i like to make id be happy to post it here for you
