New Grower Peat Moss Shortage

[Muddy]

Yesterday I went to restock on Pro Mix and found no HP available. I was informed by the people at the store that there is a peat moss shortage and that they are having trouble filling all their orders. They are a distributor and supply E. TN and into GA and NC. Their supplier has cut them back and they have checked with other supplier and found the same situation. So it may not be a bad idea to stock up before spring comes and demand goes up.

Yeah i had that same problem when i started my current girls. They were completely out of Pro-Mix. The shop did have a few bales of Sunshine #4 and they said it was basically the same so i grabbed that instead. I dont know if im crazy or not, but i like the Pro-Mix better
