Fox Farm's Ocean Forrest is $25 a bag where I live. While it is really some good stuff, that is very expensive.

I have a couple of bags of Miracle Grow Organic ($4 a bag) that I use in the garden so I tried a test run with a seedling but it didn't compare to the FF soil. It's much more dense, the plant didn't green up very well and grew slowly. I tested the soil and found it was very nitrogen deficient. I'm thinking I could add blood meal 12-0-0 and it might kick the nitrogen levels it up to where they needs to be. What do y'all think?

I live in po-dump nowhere but I do have access to Lowes. Can anyone suggest a good alternative to FF that can be purchased at Lowes (with perhaps a bit of tweaking) that will give good results?

I read where Kellog has a good, inexpensive soil, but the Lowes in my area doesn't carry that brand.

Thanks for any suggestions!
