Know before you buy
Yes, this blend is specifically formulated to be versatile. Its lightweight texture makes it ideal for containers and hanging baskets, while its structure-building ingredients work effectively to enrich existing soil in garden beds.
No. This is a certified organic formula that excludes bio-solids, municipal waste, and household waste. It relies on natural ingredients like composted manure, sphagnum peat moss, and aged bark to nourish your plants.
This mix is designed to balance moisture retention and drainage. The inclusion of sphagnum peat moss helps the soil hold onto necessary water, while the aged bark ensures excess moisture can drain away to prevent waterlogged roots.
Each bag contains 20 quarts of soil, which is equivalent to 0.704 cubic feet. This volume is typically sufficient for a few standard-sized containers or a small section of a flower bed.
The blend uses a specific ratio of organic materials like peat moss and bark to ensure the soil remains airy and easy to handle. This prevents the soil from becoming overly compacted, which allows for better root development and easier transport when filling pots.
