New soil bestie!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving this new soil! It absorbed and holds the moisture well with molding! No Oder when wet but had awesome inclusions throughout! Also isn’t attracting insects like I thought it might!

A lot of wood pieces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product because I just bought some raised beds. The bag is huge and was very full of material. Upon opening it, there is an overwhelming smell of wood. I thought it was going to be completely soil, but it’s mostly wood pieces. I placed it in my raised bed and am hoping my blueberry bushes will grow well. I wish there was more soil content instead of mostly wood pieces.

Excellent soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This organic raised bed mix has been amazing for my garden. The texture is light, fluffy, and easy to work with, and my plants took off almost immediately after planting. Everything looks healthier and more vibrant, and the mix holds moisture well without getting soggy. I also appreciate that the pH seems well balanced, which makes it easier for herbs, veggies, and fruits to absorb nutrients and grow strong. It is peat free and includes plant f...

Good one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My second time buying this and it’s the best thing in my backyard. Best for herbs and fruits. I can see visible results in just few days with so much nutrients to my fruits.

I love this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed by this soil. I normally mix topsoil with compost, potting soil, seaweed and various other ingredients to create my raised bed mix. Living on the rocky coast of Maine, I have to supply the soil if I want to grow anything.

Nutrient dense and peat-free!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This raised bed mix ended up being way better than I expected. The texture is super nice, light, fluffy, and easy to work with. Can’t wait to see my herbs and veggies take off. The mix looks healthier than what I’ve used to grow in past years with other mixes. I also like that it’s organic and peat-free. I’d definitely buy it again.

Excellent soil for raised garden beds and starting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is amazing! I used it to plant celery seeds for a demonstration, and they sprouted in less than a week — even though the package said it could take up to 20 days. The mix is rich, holds moisture well, and clearly gives plants a great start. I’m very impressed with how quickly and healthy the seedlings came up. Highly recommend for anyone starting seeds or growing in raised beds!

Quality soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, Back to the Roots Organic Potting Mix is a solid choice.. Especially if you value organic ingredients and sustainability. It offers great value for everyday gardening, and with a little tweaking (addition of compost or fine soil, maybe a soil test). This soil performs very well in my garden.

Great soil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Repotted this plant about two months ago and decided to switch to this product, it was half the size when I changed to this soil, and has since grown way healthier and seems to be thriving. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Organic Soil for Raised Beds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Back to the Roots All-Purpose Raised Bed Mix for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really happy with it! The soil is rich, fluffy, and easy to work with. The only small downside is that I wish the bag covered a bit more space — it goes quickly if you’re filling larger beds. But the quality definitely makes up for it. Highly recommend this blend if you want an eco-friendly, nutrient-rich soil that helps your plants thrive!

Super soil!

Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good soil mix. The only downside is I was storing this in my garage for a week and attracted a bunch of ants. If you like gardening, you know that you don’t want it to attract ants so that was something that was a little bit annoying but otherwise I feel like had a lot of nutrients, and I used it for my tomato bed.
