Lisa,

We've been quite pleased with this company's products. Organic Resource
Management, Inc. (ORMI)
http://www.ormiorganics.com/

We're using the "DynaMix" for seedblocks and raised beds in our hightunnels.
Quite pleased.
DynaMix is marketed here in the midwest via Hummerts Intl.

Shipping is definitely cheaper than from Vermont. Our farm has a 24' box
truck so perhaps we could help with the shipping depending on the load size.

Regards,
Mike
