Hi!
Anyone about to put in a potting soil order? If so, from where and would you possibly want to do an order together?
Thanks all!
Annie

I don't know if this will be of interest; I've already put in an order for potting soil and soil blocking mix from Speciality Soils in Enumclaw. I think some other folks who do soil blocking like Good Cheer and maybe Skyroot use them as well, and they are planning a delivery for late January. I don't know if they would do  group pricing - we haven't done that in the past but have saved on the delivery fee (they come to the island a couple times a year)- but if you liked their product and pricing you might be able to get in on a delivery. But I think it's mostly popular with folks who do soil blocking, but they also have feathermeal and normal potting soil and other stuff. Don't know about organic certification.
Their website is:

Hi Deep Harvest,

Pricillia from A Grass Becomes A Wave and I are planning on making a soil order from OBC Northwest and we will have it dropped off at Viva Farms in Burlington and go pick it up so it saves a bit on shipping. I also believe OFS might also be interested in getting in on the order so please reach out if that still is the case. Here is the website https://obcnw.com/ for you to look over. 

Thanks,

We are planning on ordering blocking mix and a few amendments (around 60 bags total) from Speciality Soils and have been able to split the delivery cost in the past. Let us know if you're interested in joining our order.

Thanks!

Hi All,
Anyone want to go in on an order of 98 cell trays? We don't need 100 of em... Also likely going to get some 4" pots, open flats and other things from greenhouse warehouse and/or bootstrap farmer. Yay!
