[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot wait until the spring to use this mix. I grow a ton of plants but going to be using this one for my peppers, jalapenos and bells. The mix seems made out of great ingredients so we shall see ...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by how light and fluffy the Back to the Roots “Better” Raised Bed Mix felt right out of the bag. The consistency is soft with no heavy clumps, and it doesn't compact easily, which makes it great for raised beds. My plants established roots quickly and the soil retained moisture without getting soggy. It also has a clean texture with no large wood chunks like other mixes I've tried. The bag is easy to handle and the weight wasn't overwhelming. Overall, it made planting super simple and my veggies are thriving.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of this soil is excellent. You can immediately tell it's a rich blend of organic components that help yield high-quality harvests. I loved the texture—it's very lightweight, easy to spread, and simple to use in pots. It is a very complete potting mix that I highly recommend for any home garden.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brand. Their products are all natural and boost growth for vegetation! You can see the spores through the soil so it definitely maximizes nutrition. It's very airy and light feel and even when the soil is pressed down it doesn't compact the air flow for the roots to reach! It's not a heavy soil, and doesn't have bark so you're able to have the soil form to the shape of the pot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product because I just bought some raised beds. The bag is huge and was very full of material. Upon opening it, there is an overwhelming smell of wood. I thought it was going to be completely soil, but it's mostly wood pieces. I placed it in my raised bed and am hoping my blueberry bushes will grow well. I wish there was more soil content instead of mostly wood pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality soil! It's light, easy to work with, and holds moisture well without getting soggy. My herbs and veggies have been growing strong and healthy since using it. I love that it's organic and peat-free too. Definitely recommend for raised beds! 🌱

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Plant girly. I love everything to do with gardening. So when I can test out a new raised bed mix I am all in. This mix is perfect for all of my planting needs. It doesn't seem to attract any unwanted pests. I also love that the odor is not overwhelming like most mixes are. I store my soil in big plastic totes and it stayed nice and dry and did not clump up. This mix has a wonderful texture to it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the back to the roots better raised bed mix in pots to plant flowers. i love using this brand for soil in our gardens and pots. i just planted the flower seeds so we will see how it is.
