Where to buy pond soil in Ottawa?

[HimSelf]

Help! I need pond soil for my 90gal setup. Where can I buy them in large quantities?

Thanks

I get Fafard Aquatic Soil from Ritchies Feed and Seed...

interesting. Is this something that can be mixed with sand in the substrate? Some sites recommend clay mixed with sand for Amazon swords

I tried Ritchies Feed and Seed but they sold out the 20L bags and will not be getting more until next spring.

Any other places?

I would imagine it would work well - it is quite a heavy soil (I think the term is alluvial).

Any other places?

Check with Ponds & Aquaria (sponsor), if not then try:
The Pond Clinic

Rona @ Innes road had aquatic soil before too. Good luck!

Yes, try Ponds and Aquaria.  Support our wonderful OVAS sponsors...plus he's quite accommodating .

I think I'm just going to make some myself. After all I can't justify spending $200 for dirt.
