canada is were that price is at,pro mix is made right there,i talk to a rep to see which would work best in my heat here,he recomended the product so looked at there prices ,shit damn near every bail was high dollar,i was gonna fill my 24 totes behind the house here with it ,until i seen the price,needless to say im still running amended soil hahahh,i just put some minor elements in it ,ran a few test and got every thing back on track,took 3 test and try to get it done,so i found and trying some mylar on my containers this year,give you a damn sunburn putting the shit on the totes,but the claim is and as of so far working ,the reflective mylar make the wasp of a squash vine boer seem like it is upside down,they go to ground level and sting and inject a parisite into the plant base ,then the boer worm eats plant inside out,but so far it is working i havent had any wasp able to sting the plant.$80 a bale!! Holy fuk man... Wow. It's like $32 Canadian for a 107L bale here.
works great for 2 things,first keeping containers cool by reflecting sun and heat,next the reflection makes the bugs hunt for the plant ,bees have no issue finding the flowers ,but grass hopper and such get mind boggled as to were the new growth is and i already mentioned wasp ,so i took coffe mate container ,drilled holes in it,buried it in the soil and beside it i planted the seeds,covered with mylar,cut x in it for the opening of the water container and a 3in circle for the seed and plant,so far all good and squash coming in like crazy,i can eat that but cant have leafy veggies for some reason
