Hello there. I believe Canadian Tire stocks the stuff you seek. At least in B.C. they have massive piles of bales of Promix at Canadian Tire. They also have Coco Coir fiber blocks as well
.Regards.

I do lots of this kinda shopping at big-box stores, save lots of money and then it's just a trip to wal-mart instead of pulling into the shady hydro-shop.
I bought a bunch of bales of peat moss at Wal-Mart, it was on sale for $5.95/bale so I had them load the back of my truck up then I just bought a couple big bags of perlite from another garden centre, mixed it into my holes then added a bit of lime, I ended up saving quite a bit of money this way. I always get a few weird looks when I do that kinda shopping at Wal-Mart but I really don't care any more, fuckem! The guy came over to help me load them and looked pretty surprized at how easily I threw a bale on my back then tossed it into the back of my truck, one after another. Practice makes perfect, I guess.. |

That made me laugh, just gotta rock the pruning shears on the belt and old gardening gloves sticking out of your back pocket and you won't get anymore weird looks. 46 bucks is insane mark up on promix or sunshine .. sunshine #4 is 24 bucks at walmart .. thats almost 100% mark up... should start flipping bales of promix thats good money right there.

the only thing i love that nursery for is buying promix bales in the middle of winter.....they are the only place that stocks them year round/is open year round in my immediate vicinity....try asking the clerk at wally world where the bales of promix are in the middle of january. people at the nursery are cool, and i pay cash...plus mrs etncrew comes with me so that makes it look semi legit??? maybe not, either way i couldn't give a shit.
i've gotten pretty good at estimating how much soil i'm gonna burn up from one spring to the next, so i typically stock up in april or may, then refuel if needed at the end of summer when all that type of shit is on sale, then cross my fingers i make it through winter! i think you're on to something beautiful bc |

I can score these at my local Indoor Gardening Centre for like 20 Buck Can a Bail... That is a lot of mix. That is in St. Catharines Ontario - I believel it's in the 200 - 400 block of Bunting Rd. - Don't have address atm.
Sales are cool if ya talk shit with them about exactly what your doing - so don't bother talking about tomatoes and peppers. I believe it's this one dude named Dustin. Prices seem pretty good there. I scored my first real ballast and HID and some Nutes to upgrade from my bagseed CFL experiment. Now I've Got the Cfls for seeds and germ and look forward to eating brains come July ;P Oh the Zombie Virus is creeping across my box. Gonna be sweet and Brainy - who know's it might make make me stronger. Peace. |
