Great drainage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used the back to roots raised bed mix for my new flower boxes by my front door. Soil has a great texture for maximum drainage. The soil is a good mix and had very little clumping coming out of the bag. Bag size was perfect for loading in my car and moving to my grow boxes. Fantastic product.

Happy gardening!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using this to start my seeds inside and it’s been working great. I have the grow bags too so I will eventually fill those up with this mix and transplant my seeds into it. I don’t have any worries about the quality of the soil and the nutrients my plants will be getting.

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.

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.

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.

Organic garden soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happy to have received the back to the roots better garden soil. It’s organic and it was well packed. The only issue that I had was that the package was just a little slightly leaking which I attach some photos for you to see for a reference. It was very easy to work with the soil when planting.

Gorgeous garden soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is absolutely gorgeous garden soil, filled with earthworms, dark and crumbly. I used it to refresh a corner of our garden and planted some early spring veggies (spinach and radishes). I can’t wait to see how they thrive with this boost of rich, healthy soil!

Great mix

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this raised bed mix! It’s super easy to use and my plants are loving it! I used it to refresh my beds and then planted some onion sets in it. So far, they are loving it and doing very well. The bag is a good size and I’m definitely looking to switch to this brand as I’m loving the results so far.

A great nutrient-filled garden soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this garden soil free of charge from Influenster in exchange for my honest review of the soil. I transplanted several indoor plants with this soil and the soil was noted to be soft, non-clumpy, moist, full of nutrients and helped perk up my plants. I will use the remainder of this well packaged bag of soil in my outdoor garden in about a month as I prepare my outdoor vegetable garden. I highly recommend this garden soil.

Early to say, but I like it so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the blend of this potting soil, it’s really loose and was easy to mix in with my other soil when prepping my raised beds for the year. It’s too early to know if the plants like it or not but we’ll see in a few months!

Great for plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really easy to use! The soil was soft and ready right out of the bag, and my plants are thriving so far! It holds water nicely without getting too soggy. I’d definitely use this again!
