Lowe's has a soil called Jungle-Gro that is completely acceptable for growing herb. It's only like $8 a bag, completely organic...
It could have more peat and more vermiculite or perlite in it. But for starters, I would highly recommend it.

Psh.... The plain old white bag with the orange stripe on it. Forgot the company name but its ingredients are forest compost, mulch, and perlite. I mix that at 50/50 wih more perlite ( big green bag at Home Depot). I think I figured it out to less than a buck fifty to fill a 5 gallon pot with this soil mix. And my ladies love the shit.

Bummer. I have heard of people in Hawaii buying Pro Mix so I started thinking it was available everywhere. Maybe yours stocks Sunshine mix?
Ask your local greenhouses what they are using and if they might sell you some. I buy Pro Mix from a greenhouse when the stores run out of it. They buy more than they need to get a discount on it and don't mind selling some of it.

I'm fairly close to you, but all of the local Lowe's in my area have stopped carrying the organic version of Jungle Growth.

Mg or Scott's works fine. Scott's has a little less nutes in it in my area.
