Miracle Grow @$15 is no cheaper than Pro Mix? Or do you mean straight peat moss?
Im basically trying to make my own home made ProMix at a much cheaper price.
Im not counting price per pound or any of that. Just trying to minimize and do for myself instead of buying pre made.
Heck Im a chef I cook everything from scratch if I can, I even bake the Marvelous Magical Monty the Wonder Lab's doggie treats, easy peasy

The ProMix uncompressed makes 7 Cubic Feet of mix (or fills 3.5 Earthboxes)
EB need 2 CU feet of mix.
A 50 quart bag of Miracle Grow doesn't even fill 1 Earthbox; cost $13 (HomeDepot)
So it would take over 3.5 bags to fill 3 EB = $45.5
Even at Walmart, Miracle Grow cost $7.42 for 1 Cubic Ft, so 7 Cu Ft is $51.94

I haven't bought Miracle Grow Mix in years but I remember it was really crappy with chunks of wood in it.
I bought 3 CU Ft compressed Peat Moss for $11.48, by the time I add a ton of Perlite, it will make over 7 CU ft of mix.
