was at my local Home Depot 2 days ago and saw a few pallets of 2 cu ft compressed "Pro Mix All Purpose Professional Grower's Mix" on sale for $3.50. Normal cost is about $14.
The 2 cu ft. expands to 4 cu ft. I bought as many as would fit on my cart. Seems like they are liquidating last year's supply or doing away with Pro Mix all together. |

Wow, great deal. I usually buy 5-7 bales of it when I go to Menards...at full price, of course. I get a flat cart instead of a shopping cart. That's about what it will hold.

I'm going to look at Walmart this coming Wednesday - it is getting late in the growing season according to Walmart - they need to make room for Halloween decorations
![]() Last week, I did buy 3 bags of 10-10-10 because they won't have any in the next few weeks until next year. |

This was never carried by HD in my area but Menards has carried this last year since and got a new pallet for this year at the $14 price point. I've seen the bag open and it is very light. How does it compare to the BX?

I've never used the BX, but I use this exact product from Menards (bought mine a couple weeks ago with the 11% off rebate sale). I think highly of it and use it for growing my bucket/potted tomatoes, peppers, and flowers. It is expensive @ $14 per package, but it expands to 4 cu. ft., so actually it isn't that expensive compared to other bagged products and I've been very pleased with the result using this product.

Jeeze . ProMix here in SoCal at Home Depot was about 23.00 last season for the 2 cubic size.

I buy the Menards stuff, which is peat-based. But I do like the Fafard mix better, because it is made with pine bark fines instead of peat. When peat dries out, it likes to float, and it takes a few minutes to absorb the water.

ProMix is the best stuff ever and yet they don't market it.
![]() As others said if I saw that price I'd load all I could and go rent a trailer for the rest.
