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...

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!

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...

Nice dirt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems like a nice bag of dirt. It’s a big bag. Clean, no fillers, and is easy to work with. Nice smell. Hope it gives my garden lots of nutrients and good produce!

Soil that works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This “better” soil is better than I expected. The soil bag is colorful, but not overwhelming. The scent wasn’t overpowering and didn’t have a strong smell. The soil spread easily and evenly and seems to work. I have little veggie sprouts in my mini garden. The soil didn’t dry out and doesn’t need too much watering to stay moist. There was plenty of soil to cover a 6x3 area. Overall, this is a great product and would use again.
