Perlite of respectable size

I got these large pots that I put my Cypress trees in. I think they are 25 gallon. Some day I'm going to put fig trees in these pots. I have a Celeste that will be 4 years old next season and I might put it in one of these in the spring time.

The blow molded break on me pretty quick. I like the injection molded as well. In the east end, Astral Grow has pretty good quality and prices.... When I get a bit further west, Grow It All is pretty solid.

BTW, Holland Industry has the best price I've found on Alaska Fish fert if you happen to use it.

Also check out Walmart, but download the app and scan with your phone, because the price is not marked correctly in the store. I just got a gallon of Alaska Fish for $8.

Yup, and did I ever get the looks as I excitedly absconded to the checkout with 4 gallons of fish puree!

Oh I thought you got it online. Our Walmart emptied out everything in the garden center and replaced it with Christmas stuff. Im going to look for the fish juice online.
 
I went to a farther Walmart, which, yes, their garden center is all Christmas stuff, but they still had the garden amendments, just that they moved it to another small area, a few shelves worth. The prices in the stores were significantly cheaper than what I had seen online, but I decided to go there anyway, and then the employee told me about the scanning thing.

Surprisingly, I’ve noticed small Mom and Pop operations always have better deals with many bagged products (fertilizer, amendments, grass seed, etc.) when compared to big box stores. I would have thought the opposite to be true.

So true,
Im fortunate to have a greenhouse supply business about an hour ride away and a family owned feed&seed store the other side of my town. Both of them beat Lowes, Home Depot and Walmart on soil amendments and fertilizers. The greenhouse supply has fertilizers at prices better than the Walmart and Home Depot clearance prices people post about.

There is a local nursery here that has literally a mountain of nursery pots of all sizes. I discovered it behind the green houses, so most people don't know about it. I buy those pots for $.25 per gallon. It seems like a good deal to me. I don't know why I haven't paid much attention to their fertilizers. I need to go there and see what they got. Maybe they have some deals this time of year.

I will have to visit some local nurseries to see what they are hiding from people.

I goofed up and ordered a yard of garden mix instead of my usual potting mix. Both are nearly identical, except one has perlite and the other one doesn't.
Went to the local maryjuwanna grow supply store and found this amazing stuff. $47 (something like $30 USD) for 4cf. Figgin' A!

Which Hydroponic store you got your bag from?
 
Keep an eye out for when A.M. Leonard has their sales. Super course is around $33 a 4 Cu.Ft bag and course is around $28 a bag, FREE SHIPPING is typically their sale promotion..... but shipping on 4 or 5 bags can run more than the cost of the perlite itself. So when they have their sale, I load up for the year. Even though they have a couple of sales periods during the winter months.

Cool, thanks, I didn’t realize they do a free shipping promo.

I have never been able to find #4 near me, and the online stores charge $50 or more for shipping, so that's not an option.
@DCallahan @figologist, where are you both located please?

Do you mean the Nolt’s that is in Lancaster?
I was thinking about driving out for a road trip there (1.5h from me). I don’t suppose they ever have a free shipping deal?
