Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product is easy to handle because it is moisture free upon delivery; yet unlike some potting mixes it wicks moisture readily. Easy to handle a bag because it's lightway, easy to use because it wicks moisture, excellent results in both container gardening and seed starting!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It's too early to tell but the texture seems great for the pots. [...] I really like the texture and think it will work well in the self-watering pots. Stay tuned . . .

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great for container gardening.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

this is just the BEST stuff for outdoor container gardening. especially here in florida where it gets humid as all get out. never had any molding problems with this mix. it's nice and fluffy...won't turn into veritible cement surrounding your tender little plants. i use it for mint. love this so much i could eat it!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Product used for repotting 2 snake plants. Need to water plants less often.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this mix in Gardener's Wet Pots for my exotic tropicals which need to be always damp but not wet. Works perfectly!

It also works well for my succulents planted in outdoor pots.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Flower boxes in of themselves can be heavy and hard to maintain long term. I find by using this light weight planting medium I am able to easily plant and then lift the boxes into place. In the past (after running out of the Gardener's Supply product) I tried using regular potting soil. It made the flower boxes heavy to lift and the plants did not do as well because the soil didn't drain properly. I live all the way in Texas and I still buy from Gardener's Supply because I haven't found a better product yet!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used it in the Revolution Planter and it was terrific!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this product in the self-watering pots!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used these for planting blueberry plants- the self-watering is a nice feature since it makes it hard to over-water- since the roots take up what they need.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Actually, I can say this dirt does what it is supposed to... it keeps the water supply in the bottom of the pot circulated through itself, for the benefit of the plant.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this for filling my earthboxes to grow vegetables in Florida since Florida soil is not very nutritious and very sandy. My grape tomato plants existed in this for their entire season of growth before our hot summer, producing great quantities.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

In the rainy Pacific Northwest, I've found that when it comes time to empty the outdoor self-watering planters, the mix has compacted and is not reusable in the containers, as I'd hoped. However, it does work well during the season, and I add it to my outdoor raised beds for extra drainage.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am an avid gardener (roses and tropical plants) who made the switch to sustainable gardening this year.

My tomatoes grew faster and healthier in Gardeners' Square Foot Success Kits with Self-Watering Container Mix. I will not subject my tomatoes to regular pots and potting mix anymore!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Well, I can say this soil mixture holds water excellently; even if used in a pot that does not have self-watering capability, it works great.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My seedlings do well in this soil and, with alot of sunlight, seedlings gorw really fast. I have had this for less than a month and so far this product does a good job growing vegetables by keeping moisture and providing the right combination of soil requiements.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used it for the first time with the topsy-turvy planters and tomatoes. It made life much easier! Plants stayed "wet" but not drowned although they did enjoy getting their leaves sprayed with water daily.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the smae mix whole sale growers use when they start there plugs. Things grow fast in this Soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I followed the directions, added some slow release fertilizer to this soil, and my windowboxes look great!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The product worked fine but did not seem any better than soil I buy at my local nursery. Not worth ordering online.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought 3 trough planters so needed a lot of soil. Its been about 3 weeks and the plants seem to be thriving. The soil is kind of expensive but I wanted to give my new planters the best chance of success. We needed about 5 bags per planter, so wetting the soil was challenging. We started with a 5 gal pail and that was not good. We switched to a wheelbarrow, and that worked a lot better.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought this product before and will continue buying it as long as I have plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Have used this product and self-watering tomato planters for many years with excellent results.I'm a working mother without a lot of time for gardening. This product used with the self-watering planters has made vegetable gardening so much easier. I never seem to buy enough, Wish it came in bigger bags.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Using in the self-watering window boxes. The soil has yet to dry out, even when I filled up the reservoir when it was below the minimum mark.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Seems to work pretty well, but the plants that grew in this soil didn't seem to fare any better than those grown in the other soil that I bought. It was very easy to purchase and use.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used in several styles of self-watering pots purchased from this company. Light-weight, especailly good for hanging pots. I mixed in some home-made compost, too.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

my upside down tomatoes thrived with this soil

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Just as you've said, this soil is perfect for the self-watering pots. It really does provide the roots with the right amount of water.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

used to product in a topsy turvy planter. tomatoes are growing great!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It's light , absorbent, and the plants just love it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I decided to try the new hanging planters for tomatoes but was concerned about the weight. This product has worked perfectly and really is much lighter than ordinary potting soil

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Best potting mix I've ever used.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I live in dry, hot Colorado where the self-watering containers are almost a necessity!! This potting soil mix works great with these pots. I've tried other potting mixes and mixing my own according to the recipe but it's not as good. I reuse the mix every season and add some compost. It feels crazy to be shipping "dirt" but it is worth it!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

First really poitive experience with a potting soil. Best ever

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I've used this product for a number of herbs and vegetables indoors and out. Already yields have been more successful this year.

Makes growing veggies in Louisiana in summer possible without intensive watering. Indoor pots have needed minimal watering, reduced to once a week or two.

Works so well be particularly careful of plants that don't like overwatering.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The bag was so much easier to lift and work with than store bought potting soils. Easy to pour or scoop out and the consistency was great. I will only use this type of soil for my pots from now on. My flowers and plants are doing extremely well this summer. I think it also helps a lot with them not drying out so fast in the sun and extreme heat.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I'm a first-time user and so far I do like the results. My plants are very healthy and I don't have to water as often with this mix as opposed to others I have tried. The mix provides excellent drainage, too.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

used in my window boxes, petunias grew like crazy!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used the self watering container mix for the last two years, for all the vegetables.
I like it becuse it has all organic stuff required for the plants, especially for my tomato plants

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I feel that I can be your Connecticut showroom for your products. I use this product when planting in my self watering containers--6 very large and 2 medium size containers. I get great comments from visitors and I also notice the results of this mix. I do follow instructions about fertilizing which is very important. My tomato plants in the success kit and 2 other planters are extremely large and fruitful.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

plants look healthy

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I can't believe how well the tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers do using the container mix in the Tomato Success Kits and self-watering planters. My neighbors are happy getting the excess veggies. I've had good luck with it for pots of flowers too. This year I've added lettuce, carrots and beets. We're going to need a bigger deck!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this in both my hanging and large deck pots. All are self watering. It is very light and fluffy. The bags are easy to lift and move around. It has worked very well on a deck that can be hot and dry. Many of my earlier pots looked bad because I could not keep them moist. This product has made a big difference.

The first year, I only did one hanging and one deck pot. It worked to well that I got more for the other pots the next year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

used in self watering planter

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great Product to work with

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this in my window box, my railing planters and containers on my front porch. It is so light yet so great for the plants. It keeps the weight down so I can move plants at will. All of my flowers have grown into real beauties due to a great start with this product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Best hanging basket planting mix formula. Combined with the self-watering baskets, this combination is an overall winner.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this product to plant a container garden that sits on a hot deck. Plants did well, even when watering was intermittent.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is great stuff, easy to use allow one bag per the "Gardener's Revolution™ Planter"

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

All self watering pots
Maintains consistant moisture to plants

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The container soil worked very well as it yielded beautiful, healthy tomato plants. However the soil is so lightweight that the tomato cages were not able to support the size of the plants, and they have blown over several times.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Purchased to be used in the tomato planter that was recalled- but prior to that time my tomato plans were growing beautifully

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used in hanging, upside down tomato planters. Probably lighter than plain soil, but still heavy

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It works well with my self watering window boxes. Couldn't use one without the other.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil was nice and light. It worked great in my Terrazza planters. My plants are thriving in it. I planted my tomatoes and carrot seeds in this soil. Everything is thriving.

The only small issue I had was getting the soil damp the first time I opened the bags. The soil is very fine and it took a LOT of water to get it all damp. It was a bit time consuming, but well worth it. My plants are loving it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Perfect with the self watering pot.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this product as recommended in the new upside down tomato planter. It performed as described and was easy to use. The plant is currently growing satisfactorily and despite using an advanced plant with fruit already developing all is going well. I would use this product again.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have been using this potting mixture for two years in all of my self-watering containers. It retains moisture very well and provides a perfect mixture for growing vegetable plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

THis works very well in the self-watering containers I have, but I think it is expensive for the actual composition of soil and the amount you receive. However, it is ready to use and easy to work with.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

As I explained in my review of the revolution planter, it ended up being too heavy; I ruptured a water line in the sprinkler system trying to hang it; couldn't use it. The planting mix is still in a bucket in my back yard..

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used the soil for my pots on the patio and loved it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use the soil in my flower pots and in my tomato planters. I get the best results....delicious tomatoes and beautiful flowers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Recommend that this mix especially be used for the Gardener's Revolution Planter because it is so light weight.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I pay for this great soil because it does not sift down into the bottom of the big tomato pots and holds up during the whole garden season - [...]

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used it in the tomato box as well as in several flower boxes. I still neede to water almost every day, but the flowers are in great shape.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought this with the self watering planter. It was easy to use and the plants love it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used the planting mix in my planter. It was just the correct amount and easy to use. The texture was good to plant any kind of seed. It holds the correct amount of moisture - no wilting or molding of plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used it in all my self-watering containers for the first time last year. No mixing, fuss-free and my flowers/patio vegetables were the best ever. Thank you for such a great product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the nicest potting soil I have ever used.
It is very clean to work with. I'm so glad I bought this for my self-watering containers and hanging baskets

WORKS THE BEST OF ALL OTHERS

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is just a great planter for seniors and those with limited space. We have ours on our deck hanging from a shepards hook and the plant is thriving. Looks like we will have our first tomato in about 3 to 4 weeks. Love watching it and the fact we will have our own tomatoes

GREAT FOR TOMATO GROWING

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I enjoyed using this mix this year and plan to purchase it again for 2009

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil is ideal for potted plants/vegetables and is a good value.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This works as advertised in self-watering planters. I switched several planters over to this soil before we left for 10 days and none of the plants required water until we returned.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This mix is perfect for all my hanging baskets and planters. It holds the right amount of moisture and my plants thrive in it. At the end of the year, my containers are light enough for me to carry them over to add to my compost pile. With regular soil, the large planters were just too heavy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this with self-watering pots for a few seasons now, and it seems to work well. I travel a lot, and am not always home to water my flower pots, so this is a good solution, since my pots are not in a place I can run a sprinkler to.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Wonderful for container planting

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in the hanging planters in which I have tomato plants. I water them every day, tomatoes need water; I think that with other planters and soil I would need to water more frequently which I cannot do since I am away from my house for 13 hours a day.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I needed an entire bag for one tomato planter but the self watering feature is so easy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great Stuff. The soil here on the mountain can be quite coarse and heavy so this stuff is great for growing tomatoes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Because of the deer who own my yard, I've chosen to "garden" on the deck, using self-watering containers. This soil mixture is perfect for those, and conventional containers as well. My flowers and vegetables thrive, transforming the deck into my own private (deer-free) green space.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I started container gardening when I bought a home in CA, it only had concrete for a backyard and I loved growing my own vegetables. At first I only bought 2 self-watering containers and now I have 6. I have moved and have 'regular' planters and beds I can grow vegetables in, but I continue to use the self-watering planters as they produce the best tomatoes and cucumbers! Here in Texas, the self watering part is the most important as soil can dry out in a day.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Using the self-watering container mix, we have tomatoes six weeks ahead of normal for our area.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in my window boxes (from Gardener's Supply) and they flourish. Much better than any other dirt I've used.
I wasn't so successful with a upside down tomato planter.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Easy to work with and produces healthy plants with no soil compaction! My tomatoes, peppers, and herbs are all planted in this mix and they all produce great quantities! It's the soil!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have several self watering containers and this soil mix is the best

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good soil to use with the tomato hanger and in the self watering containers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Right now, I have about a dozen good sized containers sitting my my patio, plus two garden boxes (from Gardener's Supply) holding cauliflower, melons, winter squash, radishes, parsnips, garlic and shallots. I can easily tell which containers have the self-watering container mix, and which do not. The ones that do, have no problems with drainage, rot, or rust. The ones that don't, have constant problems with all of the above. I used the cheap store bought stuff, and even though I added lots of perlite for drainage, they still drain poorly. It is a constant battle, and I have lost more plants than I care to admit. Next year, I will not let this happen again. I will WAIT for an order to arrive, and not be so hasty!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My plants always agree that this product is great!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I felt more than a little silly mail-ordering container mix that I thought I could mix up myself with local supplies, but I was short on time so tried it anyway. I am delighted I did! The Gardener's Supply container mix must be the perfect blend, because my container flowers and my hanging tomatoes have never come close to looking so good. By contrast, the flowers in planters with regular potting soil look like poor relatives.

I'm ordering again next year!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought the self watering hanging baskets two seasons ago, and was never happy with the way traditional potting soil dried so quickly. This year I decided to try the self watering container mix and I couldn't be happier. My plants are thriving and I'm using less water. I can go on vacation and not worry about them drying up!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

In h2o containers
Very light weight. I did not need as much,

Hard to store

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used it in all my self-watering containers. It didn't weigh down the pots, so they were easy to move even full, and didn't drag down the shepherds hooks.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

A little bit too much peat--it's a bit too springy--you gotta work at it to compress the soil in a planter--and do it dry as when wet and loose, it expands.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product worked great for our tomatoes. It has worked so well over past 2 yrs we haven't been tempted by local sellers to try their products.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My tomatoes love it!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I absolutely love my window boxes this year. The flowers are gorgeous and I owe it all to the Self-watering container mix!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I added a lot of containers to my patio this year and this soil was easy to mix, fill and plant. My potted vegetables are all thriving.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this in my 6 hanging baskets that hang from my porch. I did the same last year only with a different product. This makes the baskets much lighter.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I quickly found out that I need much less water for I had initially over watered my plants in the new soil medium. I didn't use that much but our area had a great amount of rain water.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil is light weight so good for hanging planters and is holding moisture well. I have used the planting soil that has plant food included. If they did that with this soil it would be perfect.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this soil in my hanging tomato planters. It was very easy to use, but my tomatoes have only been growing for a month so it is too early to tell how well my tomatoes will do for a while.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

this stuff is awesome! I use it with booster mix for my self watering container garden. My tomato plants are about 5 1/2 feet tall!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this in the self-watering pots and was amazed at how nice it is. I was worried that it might be heavy, and didn't want to pay the shipping on it, but tried it anyway. I was very impressed at how light, yet water absorbent it is. I will order this product year after year to use in all my pots. I have recommended it to many of my friends.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Easy to use (it's soil) but GREAT planting soil especially in use with the self watering containers. Holds moisture and also supplies food!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It is easy to mix and use. The tomato plants grow very well in this mixture. It absorbs the water very well and keeps the plants well watered.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The perfect planing medium for the upside down planters. Last year I used a commercial potting mix, and my tomatoes did not produce as expected. Already, my plants are flourishing by using this product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought this potting mix in congunction with the self-watering hanging baskets. I planted large ferns in them and hang them from my front porch. I only have to water them once a week and the ferns look better this year then ever.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this with my self-watering containers. Very light mix, but nothing special. I think you could find something similar at your neighborhood garden store. Also, I question whether this has enough nutrients for anything but annuals...

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It's light, easy to work with and isn't turning gray like other potting soils with mineral deposits,etc. I have vegetables and flowers potted with this product. Will definitely buy this again!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I purchased enough container mix to fill our self watering trough planter on the principle that the first time one makes a dish, one should follow the recipe. I couldn't be happier with the success of the plants in the planter. I did amend the mix with some granulated worm castings, and I crumble my egg shells and scatter them around the base of the plants. Other than that, huge plants that have set fruit with no effort on my part. I probably won't purchase anymore of this product because I feel somewhat ridiculous having dirt sent to me from Vermont. (Doesn't exactly help my carbon footprint.) However, the product itself is excellent.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I live in Senior Complex and use it in most of

This is great container mix; it is not full of foam filler. My plants have grown very well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this dirt in a hanging tomato plant bag. Water just ran through it and over the tomato plant. The first plant quickly died of too much water, the second plant did not develop into a producing plant. (Not even one yellow bloom.)

Grandpa got this for Father's Day and is amazed at the fast growth.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

have used the soil in hanging basket and railing planter at our second home. We are only there every couple of weeks and so far everything is still alive. will be better able to judge its merits at the end of the summer

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is a really good potting soil for people who live in apartment buildings. It's lightweight, so it's much easier to carry up stairs than regular potting soil. It's good for anyone who has trouble lifting heavy items. Also, it doesn't weigh down your planters, so if you need to move them often, it makes doing so a lot easier.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It's dirt, what else can you say!

This stuff works well with potted plants and vegetables.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Water absorption during soil preparation was great. I added water crystals until I discovered your drought mix. Now I have switched to that.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Watering is all that this container has required. The vigor of the tomato plant in the tomato planting soil has outdone the plant in regular potting soil by at least 40%. (comparing size ,color and strength of the plant)

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this product for my hanging tomatoes. This is my first time using this product, but first impressions tells me it is just the thing for hanging tomatoe gardening.

My upside down tomato planter is my best looking plant. The only down side for me was finding a large container to mix the soil with water.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am growing tomato plants in the Self-Watering Upside Down Tomato Hangers and I used this soil to fill them. The tomatoes are doing well and the self-watering feature is working 88% of the time. On a few really hot days I had to give them an extra dose of water. I would order this product again for the Upside Down tomatoes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

So far, so good... I've just been using this mix a few weeks, but it seems to keep a nice balance between moisture and light texture.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I grow tomatoes and eggplant in summer and lettuce and other greens in the winter. The container mix holds moisture but still lets the roots breathe. It's nice to have something that you know will work for you.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Very effective growing mix for all my containers, especially the large, self-watering pots. Lasts the full season.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am using this container mix in the hanging planters I ordered from Gardner's Supply Co. Although it was sent almost a month before I got the containers, I feel that there is still enough growing season left to produce a lot of tomatoes. They are doing very well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great stuff--easy to use in the self-watering containers. (You do, however, have to remember to keep those reservoirs filled, as this soil dries out very quickly once the reservoir is empty...)

USED IT IN MY PLANTER BOXES,FIRST TIME USING IT BUT IT SEEMS TO HOLD THE MOISTURE WELL

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great for outdoor self watering pots. Really cuts watering time.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I find this soil mixture to be much better for all my pots than traditional potting soil. i use it in pots that do not have the self watering reservoir because it holds moisture, yet doesn't get soggy. I live in a very sunny, dry climate so I do have to mulch the pot to slow down water evaporation.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Makes it easy to move large planters. Holds moisture through Texas summers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The best planting mix for containers I have ever used. Most are too insubstantial to be of any use. This is lightweight but rich. It is doing a great job in the hanging basket I put together.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It makes a real difference in my self-watering porch boxes and patio troughs. One year I didn't order it in time and my plants didn't grow a good root system and couldn't get the water from the reservoir, so wilted easily and required more frequent watering....never again!!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Plants have thrived in this soil

I used this soil mix in the self-watering window boxes (also purchased from Gardener's Supply Company) and it has worked wonderfully. The boxes are in full sun most of the day and the plants are beautiful and flourishing. It's great soil!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I was a bit skeptical that this would perform better than other commonly available mixes like those found at big box retailers but it truly does! I use it in conjuction with the Chelsea planter and the flowers look terrific - much better than flowers I am growing in other containers where I opted to use mix I purchased locally. I will definitely buy this again. It works as claimed.
