    Using Mega Crop saves money. Full strength nutes works out to a penny a litre.

    $158.94 distribution charge
    $66.28 transmission charge
    $8.66 rate riders(wtf that is)
    $23.00 local access fee
    $17.38 tax
    Total $364.99 because of a $0.47 admin fee saving lol.

    The gas was slightly cheaper.

    That's monthly bud,luckily more and more people are getting pissed off about it and politicians are hearing the concerns about the delivery/transmission fees still I doubt anything will be done regardless of usage if your connected to the grid in Alberta you are paying minimum $200/month on those 2 charges alone,it's shitty,it should be investigated and dealt with but the government raised the cap on those fees recently.
