I've spoken with our Supersoil distributor several times over the last couple years about the ownership change and overall quality decline of the product. When Scott bought it, they moved their main location to a place here called Maricopa, the original formula was supposed to be used but wasn't and all kinds of detritus ended up in the bags, including mushrooms and big "chunks of things." Customers were so unhappy that some discontinued doing business altogether with the distributor. Scott decided to clean up its act and started using the original formula - when they changed bags to the lighter tan ones. So I'm told if you see the old dark brown bags in garden stores, pass. According to our distributor, the new product is the old product and he has had no further complaints. From this same distributor, I get a bale of Sunshine Mix and add at least 30% pumice and sometimes loamy sand and sometimes compost, depending. It contains some peat but works beautifully and drainage couldn't be better. I think SM #2 is a bit better for bulbs. Big shipping $$, however, if your local nurseries don't stock it. And I know pumice is not always easy to come by either. Nice points about sand, Dylan. Pam Pamela Slate P.O. Box 5134 Carefree AZ 85377
