Fungus gnat breeding ground

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag of potting mix was delivered to me in November when it had already reached freezing temps outdoors. Since it was too cold for me to do any outdoor container gardening, I stored this in my laundry room to wait for the spring. My home was suddenly overrun with fungus gnats despite not having gotten any new houseplants and no matter how many sticky traps and Zevo catchers I placed, the infestation only increased over the last few months. ...

Can't wait to see my flowers grow this spring!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil smelled very earthy, yet clean with no scent of any chemical pesticides or fertilizers. The consistency was great, no big chunks of bark, no hard solid clumps of dirt. This soil is light and airy, as well as very fine, no big chunks of organic material. It was also very easy to spread. I'm excited to see what my plants think of it as we get closer to spring!

Good Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging wasn’t sturdy and came with a hole so the soil was getting everywhere. But the product itself has been good so far. Started using it for some tomato seeds to prepare for the spring. Will need to wait a little to see if there will be any growth. I like that it is organic as well.

It's potting soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't really know what to say, it's potting soil. It's a seed starting mix so it's mostly peat moss and likely devoid of a lot of nutrients (which is fine for what it is). It's February and I'm in Chicago so not a great time to be starting seeds, I'm sure they'll grow well with this though. Again, it's just potting soil, lol.

Good Quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spring is nearly here...the best season of all! I've been busy prepping my container and raised bed gardens for flowers and herbs! I'd never used this particular potting soil before and was excited to give it a try! It's relatively light which is super nice. The first thing I noticed is how it tends to retain water!
