"Just Right Xtra Potting Mix"
 
Anyone tried this potting mix? It's on sale and, of course, the marketing write-up on it makes it sound like a must-try. Was thinking maybe it would be worth stocking up on some of this kind of stuff soon...

Well - this is probably a "never mind" - shoulda checked this before I asked the question. But the shipping is ridiculous on it.

Also - here's a tville thread that had some discussion on this: [URL]http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=22329[/URL]

I've been experimenting with Just Right Xtra, it's made locally here in Western New York. It's got a great list of ingredients but being a coir based medium, it is very light and dries out too fast for a regular container. I've been hesitant to try it for vegetables for that reason. It might work just fine for an SWC I guess, I don't know, I don't have one.
I have found it most useful mixed with peat based soils. Most of my containers are mixtures of various potting soils and amendments anyway. The plants that are in containers with the addition of JRX are thriving in it, so I've got no complaints there.

Wonder how it would do in an EB?
