tankgunner-
Where are you?
Black Gold is sold mostly on the US west coast. You might try Fox Farm Ocean Forest or better yet, make your own out of peat...

5 parts Canadian Spaghnam Peat or Coir or Pro-Moss
3 parts perlite
2 parts wormcastings or mushroom compost or home made compost
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.

Gulf Coast? Fla? If you are near tampa, go to Worms way its near the Tampa Tribune on 53d I believe. You can order Sunshine #2 from them or use Fox farms Ocean Forest. if you dont want to mix your own. Cost is near the same if you add up all the cost ingredents that you need. I just use Fox with big perlite and it works great.

At my hydro shop the fox farm is $12 a bag and the black gold is $20 a bag, so I dont think you'll find it cheaper.

$4 at Fred Meyer in the PNW for the smaller 8QT bag. The big bag wasn't much more. This is my first time using it and it seems to be working well so far.

Edit: If you can't find it in your area, just order it:
