I've been poking around here a few times reading and rereading stuff from a lot people around this neck of the woods and I was thinking of trying out organics. I was either going to try Jerrys or InTheGardens base mix, as a starter then work my way into doing mine own variations. My main question is (sorry if its been answered, and I am sure it has.) What is generally a farm and feed store, and how exactly would you go about finding one locally? (Havent slept for two days so please dont mind my lack of common sense.) And if so, what would be a good decent place for online purchasing amendments? Ive heard of amazon and ozbo. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Grasscity Forum mobile app

A "farm & feed" store as we often refer to them might be your local Agway, here in Maine we have multiple "Paris Farmers Union" stores, Blue Seal Feeds, or any of the local stores that sell big bags of horse grain, rabbit and chicken food, etc. A lot of times these places also mix gardening supplies and farm animal grains/foods.
