I like it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this product when I received it late in the summer, so I cannot speak to its efficacy with new seedlings or young plants, however it seems good and all of my plants are thriving.

Great garden addition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mom has been growing her garden this last year so she was excited to hear I was getting this product! Very nice packaging, straight forward in description and durable bag. The dirt doesn’t have an overpowering smell at all very light! We used it on our spearmint plant and since the days I took the initial photo it has been doing just fine! We are definitely looking into different dirts this brand has to offer for her other plants! Would reco...

Nutrient Rich

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this soil along with potting mix to fill a couple of pots of fruit trees as well as topping off a raised bed with brassicas. I work for a landscaping company that makes compost and am impressed. Not sure I would fill a bed with this completely, but using it as part of a topsoil/potting soil mix has given me great results.

Great product for your fruits and veggies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very excited to use this fertilizer this winter for my fruits and veggies. Only reason why I’m not using it right now is because it is a summertime in Arizona for all planters and crop growers. Highly recommend!

Healthy plants, eco-friendly packaging, and great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Back to the Roots ‘Better’ Raised Bed Mix is rich, fluffy, and easy to work with. My plants took to it immediately, showing stronger growth and vibrant leaves within weeks. The packaging is sturdy and eco-friendly, making storage simple. It holds moisture well without getting soggy, and there’s no unpleasant odor—just a natural, earthy scent. For the quality and results, it’s worth every penny.

Great organic soil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love to use organic soil. Recently used this as a mix in to repot my pilea. The plant seemed to take well and is thriving in the new soil. This is a good value for the money as well!

Dark soil looks like chocolate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The soil feels, looks, and smells very nutrient rich. I have several acreage I plant on so the value for myself is okay. I buy in bulk. I would use this for a potted plant.I am not sure if it is effective because the Avacado seeds will need to go & produce. Although the soil holds water well, it is dark in color which is a good sign of good soil.

Growing my plants

It’s soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We chose and received a bag of Back to the Roots “Better” Garden soil. I’m not new to this brand as I’ve had their tomato growing kit and bag of potting soil (both purchased years ago myself). We recently restarted our aquaponic garden and had some additional tomato spouts that we decided to ‘pot’ with this soil until they’re ready to be planted. Overall this soil seems like your typical garden soil. It scooped easily and held together well and...

Gardening

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The “Better” Raised Bed Mix by Back To Roots is a great option for my garden. The soil is evenly textured and feels fluffy. There are no large chunks or clumps which makes it a lot easier to spread. There are also no “fillers” like rocks or other materials though I did find an occasional twig. The soil drains well which is great for my vegetables. I love that the soil mix is organic, making it a healthier option for my family.

Great organic Raised Bed mix!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. Back to the Roots "Better" Raised Bed Mix has worked great in my grow pot garden! I recently had to transfer some of my veggie garden to bigger grow pots and mixed this beautiful soil in.
