Does anyone know anywhere in the New England area to get quality organic potting soils? I am looking for specifically Fox Farm Ocean Forest, Fox Farm Happy Frog, Roots Organics 707, Royal Gold Basement Mix, and Bio Bizz Light Mix. I've noticed that there is a company named Greenlife Garden Supply that offers these. The issue is, would I be better off purchasing these at their location in Billerica, MA, Manchester, NH, or York, ME? I've noticed that they also have low shipping costs for people in the New England area, should I just buy them online?

All potting soils are organic even if made of peat moss, coir, or finely ground bark. There are some growing medias out there that are made from stone dusts, or at least fine stone particles and those would not necessaruily be considered organic.


The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees.
