as for the price ................Super Soil just water
doing the math fox farms ocean forest ............amazon prime (no shipping) 40 bucks 1.5 cubic ft.............then u have the feed to buy (go box is 40 bucks....the new dirty dozen box is 119........the flora box is 40 )
so given those numbers the soil is the same cost as the soil and the feed ................u are removing the guess work over feed under feed all that is gone u just water
the value to it is there.............the only issuse i have seen with the soil is it is to hot for seedlings.....so the first few leaves come out funky and slow but once the roots are in the growth of it is nice 55cms in 32 days
the cost for the bag of soil compared to the other brands is just little higher ........10 15 bucks more for the bag................it is the 24 buck flat shipping rate that hurts (24 bucks per bag) but nothing u can do about it unless u can travel to a store that sells it (in my state that store is watched by the cops they get your plate numbers then they do a raid on your trash looking for something to raid your house because of)..................so 24 bucks is no big thing compared to 50k-100k for a decent lawyer (growing is still 20 years in my state plus 1 year for each peice of equipment)
I get what you're saying, but $50 for 1.5cf is still ridiculous. I make my own soil, so I know the cost of putting together a "water only" mix, and I could make 8cf of equivalent soil for less than that. I don't get bulk discounts on the ingredients like this company would, so that makes it even more asinine. They are marking that soil up at least 500%. No way they have more than $10 per bag in to it.
