Know before you buy
While it is formulated as a planting mix for vegetable gardens, it works well for container gardening. Its structure provides the necessary aeration and moisture retention that potted vegetables and herbs need to thrive.
Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. They expand the root system's reach, helping your plants absorb more water and nutrients from the soil for stronger growth.
This mix is best used for transplanting seedlings or planting established vegetables and shrubs. For starting seeds, you may prefer a finer-textured seed-starting mix to ensure delicate roots can easily penetrate the medium.
For best results, mix this planting medium with your native soil at a ratio of about 50/50 when digging your planting holes. This helps improve the drainage and nutrient content of your existing garden bed.
No, this mix is certified organic. It is OMRI listed, Non-GMO Project Verified, and registered with the CDFA OIM, ensuring it meets strict standards for organic gardening without synthetic additives.
