Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bag was pretty heavy and definitely had alot of soil. I'm using it for my indoor starter seeds and it seems to do pretty good so far. Can't wait to try it out in a planter box this coming season

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.

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!

Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the perfect product for me to receive because I have three raised beds on my back porch getting ready for some veggie plants ! 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 !

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.

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.

Nice amount of product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this as well as my gardener for planting vincas in planters. The package was larger than expected so more soil than other brands. I appreciated the branding as well.

Flies best bad smell

Really bad Anel and looks white like if it has fingís. Also the amount of Files are like a Prat by my house right now. I had to get rid of this soil. I thought it was good for potting but it is very disappointed
