The Fafard mix that uses pine bark fines instead of peat is far superior, in my opinion. But I still buy the peat-based pro mix because it is cheaper.

I debated using the Farfard,but I was unsure what was in it exactly. Maybe I will test my ProMix based 3-1-1 versus the Farfard.
BTW which Farfard product did you use. There are a few that might fit into 'uses pine bark fines.'
