Shipping costs are a major factor in the cost as much of this stuff is heavy, so where you live relative to the supplier's nearest warehouse can make quite a difference. Be sure to check the shipping to your location when comparing price lists.

If any other growers in your area are using these supplies, find out whether you can share a truckload, or whether there's a local vendor in your area close enough for you to pick up and not have to pay shipping -- there's one about ten or so miles from me, so they're cheaper for me than Nolt's in PA; but they certainly wouldn't be cheaper for you.
