[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replanted a perennial that was being chucked out by some other plants. So I used the Back to the Roots potting soil. The soil was perfect.

It’s okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This potting mix is okay. I found it to have a lot of wood chips that were large. I had to hand pick the out so that it would not affect my seed growth. I did not notice any unusual odors or any unpleasant smells. The bag size was Huge so I will get multiple uses from It.

My plant loves the soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My plant loved this soil. It has grown so much. I haven’t notice any mold or anything like that. I think it works well for my plants. It is not drying and stays moist enough for the plant.

Good garden mix!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster and we used it in our garden. We planted 25 potato plants and we found it was easy to mix and use. It didn’t have much of an odor and as you can see our plants seem to be doing really good. We will plant seeds after pulling these potatoes up and so we will see how durable it is with the seeds. The mounded hills made outta the mix helped with water drainage as well. We would recommend.

I’m a gardener now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This definitely help me a lot with my gardening. I am at a pro gardener and I am still learning but the potty mix kept the fungus away. I haven’t had any mold. It’s not breaking down the plant and it was very helpful and repotting my store-bought plants. I also used it from vegetable scraps in my kitchen and everything is growing wonderfully.

Fine soil with fertilizer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used this Back to the Roots garden soil in my vegetable garden. The soil is rich and free of sticks and debris that I’ve found in other brands. It’s relatively fine, and that makes it easy to plant deep making sure all roots are covered. I appreciate the fact that it has fertilizer built in. Bought a couple more bags and will purchase in the future.

Great potting mix!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great potting mix. We used it in our indoor plants and also for a few outdoor plants as well. My husband is a big planter and he especially liked the mix for his special Japanese Maples and conifers he keeps potted. Seems there hasn’t been issues with the water retention of the mix. The consistency is up to par with the special ones my husband buys. Hasn’t eroded away from our outdoor pots. We have not repotted anything to check for...

Make my monstera thrive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally repotted my Thai Constellation Monstera using Back to the Roots Organic Premium Blend Potting Mix, and I could tell right away upon opening the bag that the soil looked fresh and rich. There was no chalkiness, no chemical smell, and no random weeds like I sometimes find in cheaper potting soil. That alone made a great first impression. The texture felt like a good, healthy mix, and I like that it's peat-free and organic, with added in...

Plant likes it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Repotted this little guy using this a few days ago. The plant is happy and took to its new home nicely. A nice size bag, easy to scoop and dump. I don’t know that I see or feel a huge difference between other brands I have used. But seems to work well.

Good stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good lightweight potting mix. I used this to start my tomatos are we are going strong! The mix doesn't pack tight so there's plenty of room for airflow so plant and roots can breathe. Good organic soil.

Solid Potting Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this brand in the past for repotting as well as starting seeds and find it to be good quality. My plants definitely seem to do very well after potting them up with this soil! Finding sticks and other unwanted things is always a problem in commercial soils, but there seems to be very little unwanted additions with this brand.

Soft dry soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mulch mix compost with plant food in it. Soft and dry not wet like some. The bag is sturdy and not thin so when I carry it, it doesn’t fall apart. No odor at all. Started a couple seed plants in my clay pots for now. Can’t wait to add it to my big garden with each veggie plant. It’s almost garden time and what better way then to have this great soil to get them on the right track.
