Amendments - where to buy?

Post by PSU4ME » May 7th, 2022, 8:24 am

Looking to see if folks have places where they order amendments online at fair prices. I need 100# of potassium sulfate and 120# of epsom salt. Was looking at Seven Springs, salt works and kelp4less.

Anyone have any other places? I feel like I’m seeing more designer stuff when I’m just looking for lawn grade amendments.

Would love to find some hidden gems if they are out there.

Thanks

This year, prices are riding pretty durned high. I got my potassium sulfate delivered from Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/40-lbs-Box- ... /316885116 Ship to home was free for my Zip code.

eBay is another option. https://www.ebay.com/itm/351753766809?_ ... BMisqU-ZNg Note that shipping is included.

For Epsom salt, I did say I was tempted to skip that. If price is seriously a consideration, cut it back to what you can swing and call it a day.

Home Depot has Epsom salt: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pennington- ... /202246374
CVS also has Epsom salt: https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-eps ... did-215202 (8 pounds for $9, beating the Home Depot).
While Essential Organics carries it, the price is a bit out of line: https://essentialorganicingredients.com ... xYEALw_wcB 55 pounds for $70.

I got my Epsom salt from Bed, Bath and Beyond. 6 Lb bag is $4.29 and with their coupon it comes to $3.43. They have coupons 20% off total purchase. Hope you have one nearby.
