Where do you buy most of your garden supplies (potting soil, fertilizer, starting trays, pots, tags) ... Lowes, Walmart, Amazon, E bay or an on-line company?

There is a hydroponics shop that I buy my starter pots, sometimes Walmart or Amazon and sometimes Lowes for our Military discount. OH and once in a while Sam's Club. LOL I look for the best prices.

Depends on how well I plan. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/5fgItcrHDrgPaoOqpS2a.png) When I am doing a good job of planning in advance, I shop around, both local and online, for the best values. But when I fail to plan adequately, it's either Amazon Prime or a local shop depending on how urgently I need the item.

I buy most of my supplies at a small Wisconsin chain- Stein's. Occasionally I will pick something up at Menard's, and there are a few things I let Amazon deliver- like new fabric staples.

A Jung's Garden Center about 8 blocks in one direction, WalMart Supercenter less than a mile the opposite direction. Home Depot about 6 miles. A new Menards a few months away from opening and about 1½ miles.

The truth is more important than the facts.

The Greenhouse Megastore, when I want to get a LOT of things, like trays and pots, but when I need just a few of something, Amazon or ebay, or a local place. And a not so local place - about 20 miles away (but several other places to shop near there) - I get those bales of Promix, for those SIPs, really cheap, so I take my truck up and stock up every few years.

Potting mix used to be whatever was the cheapest on sale, but now I prefer to get a better quality potting mix at the cheapest I can find and buy several bags. Fertilizer from cheapest place, often Wal-Mart or Menards. Elemental sulphur and Ammonium Sulphate from on-line, best price has been Amazon. Plant tags from e-bay and pots and trays have mostly come from Harrisseeds.com.

Large Promix bags for seed starting from a local nursery, potting soil from Home Depot. Flats, plastic pots, grow bags, cell packs online from Greenhouse Megastore, Grower's Solution, or Amazon. Generic cheap fertilizers from Walmart or Menard's. Specialty fertilizers from Amazon.
