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 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.

Great Soil for our Garden Beds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This garden bed soil seems great! It is more than just a bag of dirt. It has minerals in it to help our vegetables grow. This bag was a great weight value for the money. It compacted well and was easy to spread. You can also smell that this is not just plain dirt.

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.

Happy gardening!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using this to start my seeds inside and it's been working great. I have the grow bags too so I will eventually fill those up with this mix and transplant my seeds into it. I don't have any worries about the quality of the soil and the nutrients my plants will be getting.

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.

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.

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.

Good soil. A lot of bugs. Better outdoor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good soil, it was pretty aerated and held moisture well. It did have a lot of small bugs so not ideal for indoor plants without some treatment. I had no business trying cherry blossoms in this weather but one still grew. Minus one for the bugs

Good "Dirt"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bed mix had a mild earthy scent, so it was pleasant to work with. Was a little difficult to scoop with what I had, but not so much that I couldn't get it out of the bag; more packed together than hard texture. My plant bed is now fresh to finish winter, and will be ready for new plants in Spring. I liked the feeling of the mix in my hands, that it was simple to spread, and simple to wash off once I was done. High quality ingredients used, so I am confident my plants will grow healthy!
