My local hydroponic store carries Fox Farms and Roots Organic in 1.5 cubic foot bags for 15 dollars each. Home Depot and Walmart in this area carry Miracle Grow which I don't want. The local guy usually has 707 but he's out of it for a couple days. He says it's a little better than regular Roots for same price. Was thinking of using my 15 gallon containers for all my veggies. The raised beds for tomatoes exhausted me.

707 is great stuff, wait for it. Tupur can also play well, and they give you 2 cu ft for about the same price.

Your hydro store has great prices. That is a great price for Dr Earth too. I had no idea HD would be carrying it in my area (I just checked their website).
I'll be buying a few bags to top off my raised beds. I wish I had known about this before I bought the "crap" Pro Mix put their name on at Wal Mart. I have heard great things about the 707 too, but for the price of Dr Earth you can't miss with either one. - Lisa |

The 707 is $26.95 at my local hydro store. They have a web site, paradigmgardens.com. I don't mind paying a fair price to buy local for the convenience, but in this case it is significantly higher in price. Transportation charges, perhaps?
Now you know why I was excited about HD at 12.xx! - Lisa |

When the store 1st got it $11.99 sale to get people to buy.
Garden centers sell it for $18 and the 8 quart size for $7.99 They also sell foxfarm liquid fertilizers, but I never tried them. |

It is getting worse.
The price here is up to $19.99 I should have stocked up when the price was cheap. |
