SAVING MY PLANTS

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My plants needed the extra attention and love, and I think this soil was what it needed! Holy moly! Easy to add to my plants, it looks nice and not dry.

Nice soil blend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always use potting mix and was excited to receive this product to try! I have a ton of indoor and outdoor plants and many projects! I replanted some of my small indoor plants and still need to use more of this bag of soil to use for my bigger potted indoor plant to repot, but I like it a lot so far. I like the contents of what it says on the bag that it contains in the soil and my plants seem happy! I’ll probably add it to some outdoor plants...

Quality potting mix

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This potting mix seems like it will be really great quality. Right when I opened the box I could smell how fresh it is, the packaging is really nice and thick, and it’s very clear what its intended uses are.

Great

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging came secure which I appreciated. We got to use it for some soil beds and it has gone well for us! We’re really happy with it and would buy it again!

Delivery is a MESS!!!

Would Not Recommend

This is shipped through some 3rd party freight company. Lowes c/s is completely useless to assist. Do NOT buy from Lowes or this vendor unless you want a headache!!!!

I have ordered this item 2 times within a 5 day period and both times Lowes has canceled my order without even so much as a notification. Why post that it is in stock and can be delivered if you cannot provide?

Stays too wet for pots

Would Not Recommend

Everything I put in this rotted through and died. I didn't even water it, just from the rain. Everything else that I used other soil for did fine.

Very Poor quality soil

Would Not Recommend

I'm a highly experienced gardener who is very disappointed with this soil. After over two months now, the vegetables planted in this soil are still a fraction of the size and health of the same vegetables planted in other soils (even in smaller pots!). No tomatoes, pepper blossoms or cauliflower heads with Back to the Roots, but those in the other soils are flourishing. The soil looks like forest products--basically wood chips and LOTS of Mushrooms too. It doesn't hold moisture (30 minute...

Poor quality soil--Do NOT Recommend

Would Not Recommend

We purchased 30 cu. ft. of Back to the Roots Potting Soil. Over a month after transplanting, all of the vegetable plants in this soil are stunted/not growing. Meanwhile, the very same plants (tomatoes, peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, beets, etc.) placed in other organic soils are doing great (4-6 times larger and healthier!) A huge waste of money!
