Second link is 50.76 with FedEx, first one was like $70
Not saying it's comparable but I'm pretty happy with miracle grow organic choice. This isn't the time release stuff -- there's almost no nutrition in the soil. It's got a good spongy texture. I bought this at Home Depot along with a bag of perlite. Mixing the two makes for a light soil that my WW seems very happy with.

ALL organic and it has pretty much everything ocean forest has. On the downside it is roughly the same in price.

1 brick of peatmoss. 6cf uncompressed, add 6-8 cups of dolomite lime , add 4 cf of aeration material, add 20 lbs earthworm castings and espoma bio tone plus and plant tone. You can't get more complicated but this is simple for a newb. I love using coco though and if you want a killer coco recipe that cost a decent price hit me up. The thing is loaded with notes but crazy happy lime green plants . Praying like crazy. Homemade is the way to go, it's fun not a pain. You'll learn your plants needs a ton faster. Plus you can use teas in response to deficiency.
