Any more of these available?

Thank you CaneDog!!! I have been doing some research and it looks like it could take anywhere from 2-6 months depending on variables (size of chunks, amount being composted, temp and whether or not additives are used. I started composting a little over a yard of pine bark mini nuggets hoping...

Update - The season went great, my peppers produced a lot of great tasting fruit. Question - preparig for next year I'd like to start composting some pine bark over the winter (zone 8, so winter is not real cold). How long does it need to compost to be safe? Is there any danger in attracting...

CaneDog,   Thank you! The info is greatly appreciated. I am excited to grow some peppers again, it has been a few years since I have (logistics, moving etc).   Hope you have a great year - thanks again! Mark        

Sorry if this has been covered, I have been reading up all week. After moving, I have to start over. I have no containers or mix coming into this season. So, I bought several different size containers. When I went to pickup my ocean forest potting soil they were low on stock. So, my question...

Bummer. I guess I am back at the normal part of the decision making process where you realize there is no perfect solution.   I may have to spend some time and try to find a retailer to get a truckload of potting mix - whatever they have.    

  Correct. I do did not see it as a growing media either. I have used stratight manure (properly aged) in the past. I wondered if it would be ok to do that with the sweet peet. I can get a yard of sweet peet for the cost of 7cf of pro mix. The other option the landscape house is leaf hummus...

  It's actually a few dollars more here, $43 per bale. I can get a yard of sweet peet for $42. Even uncompressed as Joyners points out, it is 7cf per bale, making it 4 times the cost. I don't normally pinch pennies, but that is really substantial!   I really appreciate all the input so far. My...

The cost difference is substantial. 1 bale (3.8 c.f.)of promix is the same cost as a yard (27 c.f.) of sweet peet. I love promix to, but we are planning on moving next spring so this will only get used one season. If I was going to use the same medium a few years it would be a little easier to...

Hello all,   Long story short, I am growing my peppers in containers this year. In the past I have used promix with great results! A local shop is selling sweet peet as a mulch, but it sounds like it may make a great growing medium (and a lot cheaper). Does anyone have experience with it, and...

I would love some! Thanks for the generous offer!

Welcome back!

I would love to get 20 if you still have them. PM me your address and I will send out baggie and envelope! Thanks, Mark

Box 2 please

Who do you recommend? I am aware of hippie and pepper gal. Had good luck with p-gal, didn't try hippie yet.
