Damn!!!! As if i didn't have reason enough to move to Oregon! So you guys have medical herb, ocean views, mountains, no sales tax, anti urban sprawl laws, good public transportation, AND GOOD SOIL PRICES???

i use roots. its amazing stuff, no bugs yet for me.

707 is a base soil made for amending to ur desired mix, it contains less perlite for better water retention and a lighter dose of nutrients so u can amend.

I use Roots organic's Green fields . I pay only 12-13 per bag. If i buy like 15-20 they drop it to 11.50 a bag. I guess it's just where you go.

any time you add compost to a soil your bound to have bugs in it.! Good stuff though, I still use it.

Probably depends on how far you are from where it's made. I'm sure a good bit of the difference in cost between areas is how much it costs to get shipped there. Them heavy bags ain't cheap.
