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.

Rich, nutritious soul

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is amazing! We live in an apartment and wanted to start a garden on our balcony. This soil is great for our raised bed. I took horticulture classes in the past and am familiar with different types of soil, and this one seems amazing. It filled our bed no problem, and seems rich and full of nutrients. I am so excited to see our harvest!

It's potting soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't really know what to say, it's potting soil. It's a seed starting mix so it's mostly peat moss and likely devoid of a lot of nutrients (which is fine for what it is). It's February and I'm in Chicago so not a great time to be starting seeds, I'm sure they'll grow well with this though. Again, it's just potting soil, lol.

Very nice soil which also comes in a good size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (I took photos of the bag before opening it, then used the mix right away. Once opened and in use, the bag didn't exactly survive it, so I didn't take more pictures.) This year I started experimenting with some herbs and edible plants on my balcony (basil, mint, verbena, thyme, parsley etc), so I was happy this mix is meant specifically for edible plants. The soil itself feels really nice to work with: light, well balanced, and not dusty or chunky. It's still early to judge long-term results, but everything that's doing well is doing well for normal reasons. One plant isn't thriving right now, but that's from winter timing and being away, not the soil. I also loved that they sent a full-size bag instead of a small sample. It made it possible to actually use the product properly. Overall, really solid first impression and something I'd use again.

Soil saved my new plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this potting soil to plant some new plants in a planter box and in the ground in front of my house in Florida. After severely cold weather (for Florida) all week that hit temps below freezing, my plants are still thriving in this soil. I'm very happy with the product.

Great Organic Raises Bed Mix to the Roots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to InFluenster and Back to the Roots for the complimentary bag of Organic Raised Bed Mix. This organic soil mix is made in the USA and comes in a 1 cubic foot bag ( 25.7 qt ) It's blended with plant food, Yucca extract and Gypsum and it does not contain peat. It's suitable for Herbs, Vegetables and Fruits plants. I use it to replace the soil in a wooden planter where the soil had deteriorated. The mix holds moisture well still providing good drainage, and it has no unpleasant odors. This is lightweight soil that is easy to use and drain well. After some time, I noticed healthier plants growth. Great for Herbs, Vegetables and Fruits plants.

Not again

This absolutely sucks for any garden mostly wood chips more of a mulch than gardening.

Fungus gnat breeding ground

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag of potting mix was delivered to me in November when it had already reached freezing temps outdoors. Since it was too cold for me to do any outdoor container gardening, I stored this in my laundry room to wait for the spring. My home was suddenly overrun with fungus gnats despite not having gotten any new houseplants and no matter how many sticky traps and Zevo catchers I placed, the infestation only increased over the last few months. Today it was finally warm enough to take this potting mix outside and when I opened it up, it was swarming with fungus gnats. Absolutely disgusting. Not only that, the mix itself was stuck together in huge hard clumps that I had a hard time breaking up. Save your money and buy a different product. It'll save your sanity.
