Great Soil for our Garden Beds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This garden bed soil seems great! It is more than just a bag of dirt. It has minerals in it to help our vegetables grow. This bag was a great weight value for the money. It compacted well and was easy to spread. You can also smell that this is not just plain dirt.

Perfect to jumpstart the garden

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this soil in exchange for my honest review. This is intended for in ground use and is ideal for vegetable gardens. I added it to my vegetable beds and can see that not only will it add good nutrients but includes some bark like mulch to help retain moisture, which will be much needed in California summer. This was great to mix with my clay like ground soil and was easy to handle and manage myself.

My favorite.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Back to the Roots Organic Garden Soil – Premium Blend for my in-ground beds this season, and overall I’m really pleased with it. The texture is loose and easy to work with, and it blends nicely into existing soil without feeling overly heavy or compacted. I appreciate that it’s organic and already mixed with plant food and dolomitic limestone — it saves an extra step and gives plants a solid start. My vegetables and flowers transplan...

Good for heavy rainfalls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is really high quality planting soil. It has limestone in it which is great for high rainfall areas that need more magnesium. I live in a costal state so this is perfect for my garden. I can smell the nutrients in the soil right when I opened the bag. I set up a few pods of seedling with it and they are already sprouting at look healthy. This is a great start to the season.

Great soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so excited to try this soil I’m unable to right now due to the winter season but when it’s spring this is going all over my backyard to grow some delicious tomatoes and peppers! Back to the roots soil is really good in consistency and retains moisture really well. It’s easy to use, a bit darker and of course a bit harder than potting soil but perfect to allow plants to grow well and plus the weed suppression is pretty good!

Good soil. A lot of bugs. Better outdoor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good soil, it was pretty aerated and held moisture well. It did have a lot of small bugs so not ideal for indoor plants without some treatment. I had no business trying cherry blossoms in this weather but one still grew. Minus one for the bugs

A Lovely Soil for your Raised Bed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This organic, peat-free mix is a total game-changer for anyone serious about raised bed gardening. The first thing you notice is the incredible texture; it’s remarkably light and fluffy, providing the perfect balance of aeration and drainage that prevents soil compaction. Unlike many bagged soils that turn into a dense brick after a few waterings, this mix stays porous, allowing young roots to spread effortlessly. It is clearly packed with high...

Soil saved my new plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this potting soil to plant some new plants in a planter box and in the ground in front of my house in Florida. After severely cold weather (for Florida) all week that hit temps below freezing, my plants are still thriving in this soil. I’m very happy with the product.

Rich, nutritious soul

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is amazing! We live in an apartment and wanted to start a garden on our balcony. This soil is great for our raised bed. I took horticulture classes in the past and am familiar with different types of soil, and this one seems amazing. It filled our bed no problem, and seems rich and full of nutrients. I am so excited to see our harvest!

Very nice soil which also comes in a good size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (I took photos of the bag before opening it, then used the mix right away. Once opened and in use, the bag didn’t exactly survive it, so I didn’t take more pictures.) This year I started experimenting with some herbs and edible plants on my balcony (basil, mint, verbena, thyme, parsley etc), so I was happy this mix is meant specifically for edible plants. The soil itself feels really nice to work with: light, well balanced, and not dusty or ch...
