What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this seed starting mix for dramatically accelerating germination and promoting robust root development. Most report seedlings thrive faster and appear healthier than with competing products, with germination rates near 90% across vegetables, herbs, flowers, and cuttings. Reviewers consistently commend the lightweight, fluffy texture that holds moisture effectively without waterlogging, preventing damping-off disease. Many describe it as ideal for beginners and greenhouse use. A small number report debris or occasional mold issues, but the vast majority recommend it enthusiastically and repurchase year after year.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil worked out well for me. It is a good size bag and its ready to go. Just scoop as much or as little as you need, your plants will thrive with this. I was able to transplant a good amount of plants with this bag of soil.

Products great, checkout not so much

Would Not Recommend

The potting mix was fine. The checkout system stinks. As a veteran, I need to input data to get recognized. The system did not work and there are no staff to help in a timely manner.

Lowe's only sells these tiny bags at a large price

Was looking for seed starting mix and the store employee couldn't find it listed in the Lowe's app because it was called 'potting mix"

If it doesn’t weight 30 pounds then don’t buy it.

Would Not Recommend

It said each bag weighed 30 pounds. It was more like 60 pounds. Heavy on sand and light on perlite. Way too dense for plants to grow well. I mentioned this because it has an effect on the life and death of my seedlings. Please correct the formulation and if necessary change your manufacturer. They aren’t doing quality control as they should.
