If you go to the turface website and give them a call or email, they are very good about replying with contact information.

http://www.turface.com (phone numbers are at the bottom of the page. Ask for"Turface MVP" or you'll be sifting out about 1/4 of the bag as dust and fines)


By the way, I noticed in one of the soil guides that TerraGreen is mined in Georgia...

Look in the phone book under Lesco. They supply golf courses. If you can't
find it, call a couple of golf course and ask to speak to the Greens Keeper
and ask him/hir where they buy Turface, if they don't use Turface ask where
they buy their fertilizer, etc. You might also try a city parks dept.

Better yet, go to their website:
http://www.turface.com
Give them a call and they will tell you where the nearest distributor is. I did
this when I was living in Maine and found that the only distributor in the entire
state was 2 miles from my house. You'll get a good price, probably $11 or so per
bag.

Check out GRACO. They may not carry "Turface" but the one in
Cairo, GA carries "Mule Mix" and I defy you to tell them apart.

should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.

Steve,
Thanks, I did not know they were selling turface, i thought they only
sold akadema. I usually buy their soil, but I am going to try buying
the components in bulk and mixing my own.
Oh, to the newsgroup, sorry for the multiple posts, My Internet
Explorer was acting weird last night, and I did not get a post
confirmation. Again,
sorry.

At $14 a bag (I think it was) at the monastery that seems a bit
pricey. Graco sells Mule Mix at $7.50 per 40 or 50 pound bag.
