hysopp2000 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Hi. Does anyone know where i can get some potting soil locally or compost. Im on oxygen from covid. Can't get out much at all. My house mate tried Walmart and a nursery, with no luck. Bought soil once but it was just the same soil we had at home. I'd appreciate any responses. Thank you and have a good day.

EldonNova Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 The Garden Store in San Antonio has potting soil. They are located right next the where the 7-Eleven used to be on the lake side, to the east of 7-Eleven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 That's Riberas del Pilar not San Antonio. But, yes, they have the BEST potting soil and it's called Frogmix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant go, my housemate won't be happy if he goes to the wrong place. He is very high strung. I would really appreciate it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 That is terrible Hysopp, you are a newcomer here and you pickup covid. It can take years to build up you soils. A beginners mistake is to pick too small or clay pots for seedlings. They can dry out within one day. Another mistake is planting too many varieties of seeds, especially if you are using low cost compost. It is full of weed seeds, they start growing and you get all mixed up. Even are very experienced gardener cannot always tell what is a flower, a weed, or a vegetable. You might have to hire a gardener to get started. Our gardener has been through covid recently, but I am not clear if that gives him immunity. He does not speak English however. He has all his own tools and a small truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Sorry, I nap for three hours in the afternoon. I can help further now with landmarks depending on whether your partner will be driving from the east or the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 1 hour ago, dennis clark said: Vida Verde is the name. No it isn't. Vida Verde is WEST of where the 711 used to be. We are talking about the store that is just EAST of the old 711. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EldonNova Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Sorry for calling it San Antonio. San Antonio ends on the street just before where the old 7/11 used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Well I live on that street and my address is Riberas del Pilar not San Antonio. Confused? Join the club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a map that shows the boundary a few yards east of san mateo at hidalgo and several more yards at the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
