Great Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The soil is moist and nutrient dense and when filling the large pot and watering, seemed to retain water well and has a nice appearance. It was easy to use and plant with. Will be looking at other products from this brand.

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.

Early to say, but I like it so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the blend of this potting soil, it's really loose and was easy to mix in with my other soil when prepping my raised beds for the year. It's too early to know if the plants like it or not but we'll see in a few months!

Good for heavy rainfalls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is really high quality planting soil. It has limestone in it which is great for high rainfall areas that need more magnesium. I live in a costal state so this is perfect for my garden. I can smell the nutrients in the soil right when I opened the bag. I set up a few pods of seedling with it and they are already sprouting at look healthy. This is a great start to the season.

Great drainage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used the back to roots raised bed mix for my new flower boxes by my front door. Soil has a great texture for maximum drainage. The soil is a good mix and had very little clumping coming out of the bag. Bag size was perfect for loading in my car and moving to my grow boxes. Fantastic product.

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.

A must have for my little garden!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This raised bed mix from "Back to the Roots" is a good product for root growth. It brings a good source of nutrients to my little garden and make it easy to stay bagging without leaking to the soil. It also has a good packaging which does not leak smell outside so very comfortable for storage with no odor. Lightweight for great nutrients!

Good Quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spring is nearly here...the best season of all! I've been busy prepping my container and raised bed gardens for flowers and herbs! I'd never used this particular potting soil before and was excited to give it a try! It's relatively light which is super nice. The first thing I noticed is how it tends to retain water! I don't feel like I have to be watering my plants daily. It's packed with nutrients too so my plants should be full and thriving all growing season! This bag is for one square foot which isn't a lot but you can always blend a bit of other soil in with it to make it stretch further if you do so choose. I've done that with other potting soil yearly and plants still look beautiful and lush!

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.

Texture and results are most important.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was finally able to try this back to roots raised bed mix. The Midwest weather is brutal. This soil is amazing! Very rich and soft. It offers great drainage and seems to be perfect for my plants.
