Saving my plants!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! I used this as a last resort to save my aloe plant. Prior to planting it in the new soil it was turning brown and losing leaves every couple days. A few weeks in the new soil and it seems to be coming back to life! It appears to drain well as aloe doesn’t like to sit in wet soil. I would recommend this!

Quality item!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product, free in exchange for my honest opinion. I found this to be a quality item. Easy to add in a pot and drains very well. Propagated plants that were planted 3 weeks ago have established and are doing well. I would definitely recommend this product.

Light, Clean, and Plant-Approved 🌱

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Back to the Roots Better Potting Mix and honestly, I really like it. It’s super light and fluffy, not heavy or compact at all, which makes planting way easier. It’s already pH-balanced, so my plants adjusted really well and started growing pretty quickly without any drama.Another big win for me is that I haven’t seen any random weeds or bug issues. No surprise sprouts, and no fungus gnats so far, which is huge because I’ve d...

Great for growing an herb garden

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had nothing but a good experience with this soil. I've grown nothing but herbs in it so far. It holds water real well and doesn't clump up. The bag it came in is nice.

Amazing water retention and healthy looking plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was needing to repot 3 of my houseplants and decided to use this Back to the Roots Better Potting Mix. 45 days later my plants are looking amazing. There is no mold, and the water retention is great, in fact I have found that I need to water them less and they look healthier than ever!

Rich, high-quality soil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Back to the Roots “Better” Potting Mix is an amazing soil. The texture and rich nutrients made a noticeable difference—my aloe plants are thriving compared to when I used other potting soils. I also love that the soil is blended in the USA. You can really tell the quality as soon as you use it.

Great soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this garden soil. We've used it for years. It's very nice and great for above ground garden beds. The texture of the soil is great that allows water flow to reach even the deepest roots. Doesn't become hard or compact. The bag is easy to carry to wherever you need soil.

Green thumb

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mix is a good consistency but the product was a bit clumpy and very dry in some areas as far as consistency goes. Did show signs of some white maybe decomp in it. Maybe I’m wrong and it is a mineral but I used it for some little trees as well as some apple seeds that I’m winter sewing. Thus far so good but the real test will be how the plants like it.

Planet friendly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that it’s organic and made with natural ingredients like compost, perlite, and peat moss with no harsh chemicals or synthetic additives. It has a clean, earthy smell (not sour or overly strong like some mixes), and it was easy to work with straight out of the bag.

High quality potting soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product for one of my house plants but really excited to try it with my vegetable plants in warmer weather. Love that it’s organic since I’m trying to live a cleaner life. The soil itself is very nice and after a few weeks I’m happy that it still looks like it did when I first planted

Great Organic Mix That Really Boosted My Plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has become one of my favorite soils to work with. After repotting several of my plants, I noticed a real difference in how fast they recovered and began putting out new growth. The mix feels light and fluffy, thanks to the coco coir and upcycled plant matter. The yucca extract also helps the soil hold moisture evenly without getting soggy, and my plants seem much happier between waterings. I appreciate that it is peat free and fully orga...

Great organic potting soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is great. It has a good weight to it and provides good drainage while being peat free. It doesn't seem too clumpy or compact and has a good texture. It seems like it works well for indoor and outdoor plants. I love that it's organic and has earthworm castings. I will be getting it again in the spring for my garden.

Good organic safe product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for my honest review, this soil is a little chunky in texture but drains well and has no mold build up. I will use this next year for potted flowers. Seems to have good airflow while retaining moisture.

Great blend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Back to the Roots organic potting mix in exchange for an honest review. I’ve got a ton of indoor plants and many needed repotting before winter. I tried another popular soil mix and found that it held too much water giving my snake plant root rot! I repotted what was left in this soil mix and it’s on the path to recovery. This is a great mix including plant food and yucca extract. I think in a few months my plant will be thriving...

Potting soil ready to go

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to repot my peace lily with ease. The mix is moist and all ready to go. I didn’t have a problem repotting the process was seamless. The soil didn’t have clumps, everything was even in moisture but not sticky at all.The plant was dying off so this mix came in the right time. I will also repot my other house plant since the bag is gigantic! Needless to say I have potting soil for many plant projects. Thank you!
