| Has anyone used "Natural Beginnings" from Garden's Alive? I am thinking about using it this year, and I currently will get $25 off a purchase of $50 or more.
Natural Beginnings is coir based (I've never used a coir based product, only peat) with worm castings and mealworm guano as a fertilizer. I'm getting it at a better price (even with shipping) than I would for 2 8 qt bags of Jiffy. 16 qt for $14.95 (shipping is basically free, since adding it to my order won't increase the shipping costs). Thanks for any information. |

| kayjones, I appreciate the link to the ratings. I have used Garden's Alive in the past, and had nothing but positive experiences. One thing I ordered for my Dad for Christmas last year came a few days after New Year's, but I suspect it was more due to the volume of orders and shipping, than Garden's Alive themself. In either case, the delivery was WELL before my Dad needed the product! I am more interested in the PRODUCT, than the company. Does anyone have experience with the PRODUCT? (or a coir product in general?) |

| I've been using coir since it came out on the market and I absolutely love it. I put it in all my soil mixes for potting soils and I use it half and half (with seed starting medium) for starting seeds. It has really helped my concrete like clay soil get a better tilth in a huge flower garden bed I have under a tree. I have been putting leaf mold and compost in that bed for 20 years - when I started putting a lot of coir in it I noticed the difference immediately. I order from Gardens Alive every year and have never had a problem with them. I LOVE those 25 dollar coupons. |
