Nutrient dense and peat-free!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This raised bed mix ended up being way better than I expected. The texture is super nice, light, fluffy, and easy to work with. Can't wait to see my herbs and veggies take off. The mix looks healthier than what I've used to grow in past years with other mixes. I also like that it's organic and peat-free. I'd definitely buy it again.

Great Organic Soil for Raised Beds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Back to the Roots All-Purpose Raised Bed Mix for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really happy with it! The soil is rich, fluffy, and easy to work with. The only small downside is that I wish the bag covered a bit more space — it goes quickly if you’re filling larger beds. But the quality definitely makes up for it. Highly recommend this blend if you want an eco-friendly, nutrient-rich soil that helps your plants thrive!

A good, rich soil with great texture perfect for r

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product was packaged well without any rips or spilling. As soon as I opened the bag, I encountered a rich earthy aroma to the soil. The soil had a nice, heterogenous appearance. It had a moist, dark composition. It was very easy to manipulate and sift through. I’m using the soil in my raised garden bed where I am planting tulip bulbs for the winter. It is a good value, and I would get it again!

Organic and made in the USA

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never had a mix that was specifically for raised beds. That's exciting and very interesting. I got this mix at the end of the planting season, instead of getting some broccoli seeds or something to plant, I think I'll keep it in it's fantastic packaging before I use it to plant for the spring. It's made in the USA and is PEAT free. The package it comes in is nice and sturdy, making it easier to save the mix until it's ready to be used. It says it will "grow bigger plants", but that is something I will have to wait to figure out. I detected no unusual scent or odor coming from the package. Overall, this Back to Basics Organic Raised Bed Mix seems like a good quality mix that comes in a convenient package that makes it easy to store and use later.

First thing I'm trying next spring

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't wait to try this next spring! Unfortunately the planting season is over in my zone. But looking at the ingredients I'm really impressed and it seems like it will be great for my raised beds. The bag definitely has good weight and I like the packaging.

A Lovely Soil for your Raised Bed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This organic, peat-free mix is a total game-changer for anyone serious about raised bed gardening. The first thing you notice is the incredible texture; it’s remarkably light and fluffy, providing the perfect balance of aeration and drainage that prevents soil compaction. Unlike many bagged soils that turn into a dense brick after a few waterings, this mix stays porous, allowing young roots to spread effortlessly. It is clearly packed with high-quality nutrients and beneficial biology, as evidenced by the immediate, vibrant growth of everything from heavy-feeding vegetables to delicate herbs. What truly sets the Back to the Roots mix apart is its ability to retain moisture without becoming waterlogged. It keeps plants hydrated through the midday heat while ensuring they never suffer from root rot, which is a common struggle in contained garden beds. Furthermore, the commitment to a 100% peat-free and organic formula makes it a standout choice for the environmentally conscious grower. It offers the peace of mind that you are using a sustainable product that is safe for your family and the planet. Ultimately, this soil mix eliminates the guesswork and the need for immediate supplemental fertilizing. The results are visible in the lush foliage and the overall health of the garden throughout the entire growing season. While it may be a premium option, the superior quality and impressive yields it produces make it a fantastic investment for any gardener. It is easily the most reliable and high-performing raised bed mix I have used to date, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good soil mix. The only downside is I was storing this in my garage for a week and attracted a bunch of ants. If you like gardening, you know that you don’t want it to attract ants so that was something that was a little bit annoying but otherwise I feel like had a lot of nutrients, and I used it for my tomato bed.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You get a lot for the price I’m very pleased with the quality. My plants have done really well in it. It’s the end of the season so they’re starting to die off but for the length that I got to use it I am very impressed and will definitely be using it again
