What is a good potting soil?

Right about 3 hrs. Would be worth it to me if I could con the old lady into the trip and I had a truck lol.

I’d be curious what they’d charge for a yard in bulk. I don’t have a truck myself but I got a hitch a while back. If you have a local U-Haul, a trailer is pretty cheap for a day. Food for thought anyway seems a shame to have that giant perlite producer so close but still so far.

Do you know the volume of your car? You could just pump it in the windows

Lmao yea might be worth the wife murdering me over at 55-60$usd for 4c ft when shipping. Next time I root prune or up pot in a couple years I may have to do that. I didn’t know we had a place in Noble. Didn’t know it’d cost me that much to get bulk perlite around here til now either though

According to their website they’re the biggest producer in North America.

I’d imagine a yard of perlite in a truck bed would be fun to follow behind on the road. Be like driving in a snow storm

Exactly what I was about to say.

That’s no joke. I had to order 4cu ft of course perlite as there is nowhere near here that stocks it. Shipping was basically 1.5x the cost of the perlite.

I get mine on Amazon when it's a good deal. Then shipping is free.

I don't know if it's the same local to you but despite having prime, with some things on Amazon, the shipping isn't really "free"



This place is in town. Even if I were to get it delivered it's less than free shipping for me with Amazon.






It the usual deal. As soon as you take something of reasonably low value and stick it in a bag.... the cost is suddenly 50x

I thought I was getting screwed with $40 for 8 day (really 5-6) halfway across the country. $64 and it’s in town is highway robbery!
