my free sample arrived today from elanor's and i can't wait to start using it. i think my a.v. leaves will need a drink with vf-11 tomorrow morning lol. i haven't fed the leaves yet per allisons advice to wait until i got the vf-11. i hope it works as well for me as it has for all of you!
kelly
got my first vf-11 today
Yipee ! Congratulations Kelly ! Give them babies a drink and watch them do their thing :)) You are going to have a lot of wonderful babies. Kelly I know babies love to be warm and cozy. I have for years watered mine with warm/hot water and it does real well for me ! Try it ")) Happy Growing !
So far I like it too. I will have to order more as I'm half way through my sample bottle. Who has the best price for it?
just got done watering all my leaves. i watered them with warm water in a new hair color bottle. this worked well for me as i didn't get any on the leaves with this.
kelly
Sounds Fun ! Kelly.
Anita Charley's Greenhouse sells it. Wild Bob was saying you can get your local Ace Hardwar to order it for you as their stores /warehouse in CA. have it.
Eleanor sells different sizes by the case at a good saving. Some people can get it local /
Anita,
When I got my sample bottle it had an order form with it, which is what I used. If you didn't get one but want a copy, let me know and I will get it to you. I ended up ordering a case of gallons :-)
Sharon
i got lots of paper work with mine but had to throw it away. the sample bottle leaked in the pack and the papers were soaked. i am going to go to the website today and try and find all the info. she sent me.

I purchased 1 gallon from Discount Garden at a cost of $19.95...but the shipping was somewhere around $10....for a total of $29.95
It arrived a few days after I ordered.

Hope the link works, Deb
Thanks - I was aware of Eleanor direct and Charlie's..didn't know about Discount Garden.
Deb that's not bad . Charley's went up to $24.94 and shipping is $8.95
Direct seems to be quite a bit less. I got a case of four gallons and the hose sprayer, and with shipping the total was around $105.
hmmm -I might order from Discount Garden...that's a decent savings. Allison, doesn't it seem that Charlie's is more expensive on a few items now?
Yes Charlies is more expensive for many items. Ordering from Eleanor is a big savings. She also sells a case of half gallons at a big saving too.
I just ordered a case from Eleanor's. She definitely has the best price. 4 half Gallons $72.59 including shipping
That's better than I can do buying and shipping.
Thanks for posting that, Anita! I went to her site last night, and I couldn't find a price list, just a number to call for ordering. I'll have to call and see what her price is for gallons... Begonia, didn't you say you could get a gallon for $15, or was that a half gallon? I also need to swing by the big Ace Hardware in town & see if they can get it for me.
I can get it for $14.95 a gallon, then FedEx ground shipping from here to FL is roughly $16 for the two gallon weight. (one gallon weighs about 8.5 pounds)
I can't beat Eleanors price, but you also don't have to buy four gallons. I have a gallon in each gardening area, greenhouse, bedroom and studio and can't use it that fast even though I water every day with it.
I'm, shipping a box with two gallons so it works out to be roughly $24 per gallon with tax and shipping.
I just have to find a box that will work well.
I have Eleanor's prices sheets and Couple years ago use to order it by the case and have her sprayer did use it ! But can't aford to buy 4 at one time. Someone could not share a case only if in driving distance as it would cost double shipping.
Eleanor's prices $19.00 a gallon if you buy 4 . Plus shipping.
It's a great deal if you can buy four. She sells the half gallons by case I'd have to look to see cost.
Now Deb got one gallon for $19.99 plus shipping and you only have to buy one this is a good deal ! I think the web sight sold half gallons too.
You figure a gallon makes 128 gallons of food !
I went over and over with my Ace Hardware on the phone three times different people... No luck. Even though on Eleanor's web sight she give the information and the Sku even. So I hope someone else has better luck than I. I even wrote the on line customer service.
So right now the two gallons for $14.95 plus tax coming from Lali , shipped Fed-Ex growund ( 5 day delivery) is my best price and I Thanki you Lali for all your trouble. If she shipped me on it was like 11.00 for shipping so I figured better to do two :))
All I know is I've been out a couple weeks and love it and can't wait to get it :))
that is my only problem i won't need a whole lot when i run out as i am just starting with a.v's. i do like it! some of my leaves were curling downward for some reason and it has helped them.
kelly

Eleanor’s VF-11 “seems like magic
Allison, maybe you can contact Eleanor directly with your Ace hardware phone number and have her call to make the sale. It might work? just a thought.
Since she already sells to other Ace's she may be more equipped to make the sale than one of the Ace employees.
it's good to know she sells to Orchard supply since our local Yardbirds has sold out to Home Depot and they may stop carrying it.
Yeah I am hard on phone calls spent almost an hour caling Ace hardware over and over. I even called two Ace hardware in Ca too. to see if they sold it and they don't even sell it. :((
So I'll take from you:)) This time !
Mybe the next time I'd order one from Charley's or from where Deb did. Really wither way is the same.
Where Deb order my zipcode is almost $13.00 ship not
the 10.00 she paid. So brings the 19.95 up to $32,95 a gallon. And Charley's one gallons $24.95 and they ship for 8.95 $ 33.90 a gallon prcies close. lol
allison the pint will be what i want. thanks for the link! i can afford the 7.35.
kelly
Great Kelly I thought it may be perfect for you :)0
here is Eleanor's price list
Thanks Anita I noticed gallons went down shipping up
but shipping is up everywhere. When I bought case of gallons couple years ago came to like 74.00 ,
Great prices if you can afford a case.
Thanks, Anita!
I haven't even sent for the 8 oz bottle yet, but you've all been giving this stuff such rave reviews, I'm tempted to go ahead and order a case to use in place of Miracle Gro this year!
I had to add this info...I went to my locally owned garden store here in Spokane looking for some AV food. And there was VF-11! I vaugely remembered someone starting a thread about it so I bought some. Then I came home and read all this! Wow!! I bought 24 oz (a pint and a 8oz extra packed together) and I think I paid $6.99. Plus, we have Rite-aid in town and maybe they have it there, too. PLUS Discount Garden Supply is right here in Spokane and they also carry it.
Of course I am all the up here in the corner of the US (Washington) ~LOL~ But I'm up for helping anyone if I can...
Feeling lucky,
Planti
OH Planti WOW I can't beleive it ! If I went into a store and fount VF-11 and at that great price I'd be doing a Happy Dance. Perfect fertilizer find ! Your plants will be so Happy !
Do they sell other size too ? And you did not even have to pay shipping.
I'm so happy for you !
Allison
Yes, they had quart and gallon...probably half gallon too. I didn't even price it because I didn't realize *everyone* couldn't just run to the store and buy it! I'm willing to ship it out for cost if someone wants it and can't get it cheaper....
Planti
PS. Discount Garden Supply sells it, too. They are here in Spokane and the link is:
http://www.discountgarden.com/
wow i might have to get you to get some for me when i run out! great find!
kelly
Just let me know :) In the meantime, I'll check the prices and see who's got the best deals...
Gosh Jesse looks like you can buy it local !
