At least the compressed bale will fill 3 EB - so if you were spending $20 per EB it comes out even.

And .... you will get to use it for multiple seasons so that will offset much of the cost.

Marsha (Ginger2778) is a very successful EB (>40 EB) tomato grower and I'm pretty sure she doesn't use PRO-MIX. Ginny (Fiishergurl) does all SWC and I don't think she uses Promix either. They post on the Florida thread in GD.

I live in East Central Florida - it rarely gets over 90 - not at all this year, but the humidity is killer - always around 90. Nothing like Alaska.

Yes, I found one thanks to a link that someone sent me. It is a hydroponics store that carries the ProMix HP for $41. They could order the BX for me for $51 if I wanted it. So not so bad.

I lived in southern Florida on the East coast before moving to Vegas. I traded one kind of heat for another. You can literally fry an egg on the sidewalk (well done) in a minute in the summer here. Or you can have green fried tomatoes, without removing them from the vine.

But despite the insanely high temperatures here, I think I prefer it to the Florida humidity. Neither one is a walk in the park, but having to chose, I think I prefer the hot torrid heat. But I really miss the rain. I used to love the rain.
