bigt said:Haha - no problem. I planted a little early because I thought I might get busy if I waited. My plant time was around Noon on Sunday, January 4th. I just got my hands on a fresh bale of Pro-Mix BX with MYCORISE PRO2 GROWTH ENHANCER. It was $29.95 here in Centreville, VA. The guy selling it said it was by far the best to use (naturally) and said that Miracle Grow Potting soil (what I've always used before) was the worst. So I'm expecting good things this year!

bigt said:Yup - that was it. I saw a bale of it in Cappy's (Pepper Ridge Farm) photos (http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii266/Cappy_023/) and thought he had great plants so I figured I would try it this year. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it as well.
Pepper Ridge Farm said:I'm having a hard time keeping my seed tray warm even under my MH lamp with this cold weather. Hopefully over the weekend we'll start. Tony that is what I paid last year for my Pro-mix bales. It was my only real expense last year because I had everything else. I bought 6 bales for 180 bucks, 200 with tax. That is very little to pay for a nice crop of peppers.

bigt said:How many 5 gallon containers would you say one bale of Pro-Mix would fill up?
Pepper Ridge Farm said:I'd say at least 20 if not more. Just a guess, but those are some big bales by the time you loosen up all that soil. Still no Fatalli hooks yet.
