Well i have never ever even considered paying the shipping costs just to try build a soil’s different soil blends but when i went to get my current soil the guy who owns the shop told me his stuff he was having major issues with gnats lately so he got a pallet of the BAS 3.0+ and just rebagged it under his own label! Def a cheater move but i got it at $32 a bag local vs $42 from them! Other good thing is his house stuff he puts next to no pumice or perlite in it (supposed to have both i believe) and the BAS stuff i could see thru the bag to tell it will be good as is especially since going in the earthbox!
