keeping this thread on track.
I went to a different Lowes than the one I normally go to and bought the only(cube of death) S. purp that they had. They did have a 5inch pot S. purp but it was mostly dead., and a couple other VFTs.
Anyone know what I can get pearlite? Home depot, Lowes, Walmart, Local home improvement store. The only pearlite thet have are Maricle-gro.

Nah only peralite ive seen at lowes homedepot and walmart are the ones by miracle grow. Have you tried your local nurseries???

Im really going to hit the phone book tomorrow and just keep calling around. If all else fails, I'm going to buy 2.0cu.ft. at homedepot.com, with shipping comes to like $26.

I've found that most mom and pop type local stores that have a garden dept. will have non-fert perlite. I had the same experience with the big chain stores only having micracle gro stuff.
