I've transitioned to Sunshine Mix #4 and am very happy with it.

$28.00 for a compressed 3.8 cubic foot bale here in N. California.

Pro-Mix BX is another good alternative:

Keep in mind that if you use the 3:2:1 Combo Mix for containers, the cost of the Sunshine Mix and Pro-Mix is cut in half.

Thanks for the response. I found Ferti-lome ultimate potting mix that seems really nice. $18 for three cubic feet. When I made the 3:2:1 mix it looked and felt nice and loose.

how often do you water after you put the sra moisture potting mix in your pot

I'm obviously missing something here, but, what is "sra moisture potting mix?" I don't see anything in the previous posts of this thread that seem to relate to this type of potting mix. :confused:

Hi. Is Sta-Green good for planting raspberries in a container garden? This is the first time I'm doing this and I see that the container mixes are expensive. I need 9 cubic feet so the $18 for 3 cubic feet that was mentioned above would be a lot cheaper than what I've seen so far.

Raybo, what do you think of this Pro-Mix? Pro-Mix BRK?

It has bark along with perlite and lime in it.
