haven't had a chance to try it yet- letcha know this spring.Meal - Maxwell...
My name is Doc from Bison Soil - wondering how it worked out for you?
50$ for a 5G bucket? that seems very pricey...locally i cn get the most expensive compost@7$ for 30L...bison compost for same amount is 75$....seems a little rediculous if you ask me, i cant see what is so special that it costs that much, unless im reading it wrong?

Obviously we're biased - but here are our thoughts to these posts -
As far as compost goes - we believe our compost alone is leaps and bounds above other compost because of the Bison. They digest food much differently than beef and take a much lower protein diet than cattle. (We're in the heart of beef country here and are fans of cattle - just bigger fans of our compost.)
As far as being pricey - we've spend 15 years perfecting the recipe and aging the compost. With the other ingredients added in (diatomaceous earth, green sand, biochar, dolomite lime, kelp meal, and other ingredients) We also package in our organic non-gmo nitrogen into a 5lb bucket. We also have a non-gmo molasses that we sell that is incredibly cheap and when you are making tea - it's a damn home run.
From the ph levels of the soil, to the amount of time we've been able to take out of grow and bloom cycles, to the higher margins our test growers have been able to sell their product for - (realizing that's not applicable to all states) We actually think 49.99 is a deal.
You are eliminating the amount of products you buy, the time you grow, the water you use, and theoretically increasing the price at the end.
All that being said, proof is in the pudding and we won't force our stuff on you ever :)

Right on Bro, speaking the Truth^^^^^^^ I love it ......:cigar:though you may be correct in saying that the bison digest differently and such....but ive watched informative documentaries that talk about compost, one think they kept saying, "The smaller the bug, the better the compost"
though you may have something unique...in no way is it worth more that 10X the amount of regular compost i get localy...plus shipping might i add
i dont think your looking at the outside picture...yes is takes time to make, and quality ingredients need to be added for a quality compost..however, supply and demand play a huge role, and no way the demand is out weighing the supply enough to force you to charge that much...
no offense...but imo, you seem you be one of the many companies out there, that think they can take a product and sell it to MJ farmers thinking "its ok, they make enough $ and are willing to spend without doing any actual research"...dont get me wrong, you may not be, but from the price your selling this product, sounds to me like your selling rebranded/repackaged product at a much higher rate to ppl you think will blindly pay for it.
companies that do this are a dime a dozen, its the same as in the gold rush, ppl selling axes and shovels were making more $ than the gold miners...in 1870 california, a shovel was worth 8$...in 1955 my dad worked picking tobacco here in canada working a 80 hour week he would make just under 10$ to give an example..
to get my business...and most any other SMART farmer...you need to have a QUALITY product at a COMPETITIVE price...paying more for a product means it cuts into a farmers budget, so if it cant produce MORE, then its not worth extra $...let alone 10X the price of other similar products..fancy container or not..
I feel at this time I'm just prolonging a non-winnable argument here - but some points -
I only posted because somebody asked about us, and we're interested in actual user feedback, both good and bad - but from people who are interested in more than just tearing down.
We're far from carpet baggers - our only advertised market is the 215 and similar industry. We've been in Humboldt for over 6 years doing research and test grows with actual growers and groups like Humboldt Botanical Gardens. Our product costs the same in Ace Hardware in South Dakota (where we are far from cool with MJ laws) as it does in Dazey's in CA. We're ALL about research - in fact this product isn't for those who don't do the research, really...
Joe and Oscar - If you'll scroll up you'll notice that in Sept somebody posted and not until Jan did I ask if anybody has had success. We're not on 400 threads telling anybody to only use our product and how we're the new magic bullet. We offer an organic solution and we also understand if that solution isn't for you. We're not looking for a message board flame war, sorry friends.
There's only one account and we're not on 300 boards trying to spam. This board popped up on a google search. We've been here for a while and we plan to be here for a while. I don't expect anybody to read this thread and buy a million buckets - but we're not expecting a flame war on every post either. It's cool if this isn't your bag and it's cool if it s.
Thanks for reading! Have a killer night!
