O lordy, nothing like a special gift from the garden center...well, i guess gardeners are used to starting over and trying again, but that was a pretty nasty gift. I have become accustomed to asking the people i am purchasing soil from to open the bag so i can see if the contents are going to work for me. i even stick my hand in the bag to check out texture. Since i've been doing this i haven't been gifted with a bag full of monster red ants.
