Supports Healthy Plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew swiss chard from tiny seedlings in this mix and they have grown into the most vibrant, strong, & healthy swiss chard plants. They have been completely resistant to disease this year and the highest yield. This mix has added nutrients that have made for a bountiful year for chard. The mix is a little stick heavy but overall good for any plant in the raised bed.

High quality dirt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great raised bed organic mix. It's got alot of aeration and the consistency is perfect. I love that it's organic and it has plant food in it. It absorbs water great and water doesn't just sit on top of it. I really like this quality of garden soil. It's definitely worth every dollar.

This soil is going to work great with my plants since it has some many nutrients added into it and will help my vegetable plants grow healthy and strong . The instructions are simple and easy to read !

A excellent soil blend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to thank Back to the Roots and Influenster for sending me a one cubic foot bag of Back to the Roots' Organic Raised Bed Blend. I have been a big fan of Back to th Roots for its mushroom kits but never knew that it offered premium blend soil. I have used all sorts of organic soil mixes from very high end to just the basic, and I rate this one fairly close to the top. I am impressed that there are added nutrients that save me time, effort and thinking. The label showed a good amount or nitrogen, which helps leafy greens grow. This is important to me as I grow my own vegetables. Whether it is to grow leaves to eat or to support its fruit like tomatoes leaves, I always strive for healthier green leaves for a healtheir plant. Then I see that there are calcium from gypsum for disease resistance and overall growth and limestone for pH balance. I was also interested to see how the moisture control from th Yucca Extract works. I was very pleased when I opened th bag to see the growth of mycelium, which is very beneficial to strengthen vegetable roots. I also noticed a consistently more refined soil blend, unlike some organic soil I have purchased in the past that incorporated unfinished chopped branches and sticks. The soil smelled so good, too. What surprised me the most was the result of the wetting agent. I have never seen water penetrate so well. With ordinary organic soil, the water pooled or ran off when I first used it and was an inconvenience that did not benefit the transfer of my seedlings, especially in sunny Los Angeles. The cost of this product for its benefits is fairly reasonable, making it a good value. I like the one cubic foot size. Although it costs more than ordinary organic soil in a three-cubic-foot bag, the convenience of not having to add other products is a huge plus. I will switch to using this product.

Great For Raised Beds!! 🪴 🌿

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality soil! It's light, easy to work with, and holds moisture well without getting soggy. My herbs and veggies have been growing strong and healthy since using it. I love that it's organic and peat-free too. Definitely recommend for raised beds! 🌱

Great mix

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this raised bed mix! It’s super easy to use and my plants are loving it! I used it to refresh my beds and then planted some onion sets in it. So far, they are loving it and doing very well. The bag is a good size and I’m definitely looking to switch to this brand as I’m loving the results so far.
