Fellow MA natives- Turface supplier?
I have been passively looking for a good Turface supplier for over a year now. Does anyone in Massachusetts have a good source? Preferably some place open on the weekend (a lot of agricultural suppliers I've contacted are only open m-f), and not New England Bonsai (i love NE bonsai, but they charge too much for soil).
I've even tried local wal-marts, home depots etc for Shultz Clay Soil Condition (I hear it's similar), but I can't find anyplace that has anything. Thanks for any help! |

Bonsai West in Littleton also carries turface. In fact, I was there today working on a few of my trees and I meant to pick some up (I forgot!). Don't know what they charge, though.

I spent months last year trying to find a cheap source for turface. I ended up buying 8 bags from an agricultural supply company in Rochester, MA (near Wareham and Cape Cod)...can't recall the name. About 11 bucks per 50 # bag. They, too, are only open during the week until the weather warms up.

Thanks Tom, went and picked up a bag today! 25$ for 50# bag. Not a super bargain, but well worth it!
Dav4: was is DeCran agriculural? I know they sell turface, but it's nearly impossible for me to squeeze a trip into Rochester into my schedule during the weekday. Thanks guys! |

Turface Supplier-Try Agway
Agway has has Turface and Dry-Stall. THey also have Grani-Grit which is the "course sand" component. Use the Growers size. They also have pine mulch. My standard mix is 1/3 Pine Bark, 1/3 Turface , & 1/3 Grani-Grit. It is cheap enough and works well.
Thanks. Ron Try http://www.agwaycatalog.com/ Dry-Stall http://www.agwaycatalog.com/catalog...earch=dry+stall |
