So, I was looking around for different amendments/fertilizers, molasses to be exact and came across this site and figured I would list it and maybe we can keep a running thread here of sources for us Canadians.

Great thread to start. Tony the Tiger great.

I'll trade my soul, cuts or a bag of ginger step children if anyone finds rice hulls. Lots of breweries popping up on the Island lately though.

C-Ray can one buy from Terralink direct in smaller quantities or do you have to go through one of the retailers?

doesn't fit into amendments or fertilizers, but since this thread is great, and really should be stickied, I figured id throw this out there for pest control

Both Terralink and Evergro/Direct Solutions will do walk in sales. You'll pay full retail though. For some products it might not matter much but for others it could, just depends on what price the retailer negotiated.

I have a love hate relations ship with Evergro. The employees and service is pretty good but they control the price of Pro Mix so you get monopoly prices on promix. Even if you try to get a container load you get fuck all on savings.

ill take 6 diff cuts, and 3 sacks of gingers plz. you can keep the soul.



it seems it was a trick and they only have 15 lbs in stock (and probably(?) not organic) and its coming from ontario. so 22$ for the 15lbs of hulls and 25$ for shipping. but i think i still win some sort of prize anyway!@ maybe i should just get some sleep instead.

Looking at their stuff Swirskii mite is what I've been told eradicates thrips like crazy. I'll double check my a buddy who owns greenhouses. He uses it and says works like hot damn.

I use to get my bugs from Evergro/Westgro but they split that division off and just tried Terralink yesterday and they sell Nemasys (Nematodes Steinernema feltiae) way cheaper but will try the bug factory tomorrow and see what prices they can give me.

Anyone know any places in Canada that sells Sucanat by 50Lb bags? I searched long and only found places in the US but dealing with them was like dealing with some backwards people and my Dextrose supplier wont brig it in.
