Know before you buy
High-porosity means the mix contains larger particles that create more air pockets within the soil. This structure allows for better oxygen circulation to the roots and faster drainage, which helps prevent root rot and other water-related issues.
The Glomus intraradices fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, effectively extending the root system's reach. This allows your plants to absorb water and nutrients more efficiently, leading to improved growth and better stress tolerance.
Yes, this mix is excellent for both. Its high-porosity structure supports the delicate root systems of seedlings while providing the necessary nutrients and moisture balance for established ornamentals, fruits, and vegetables.
PRO-MIX HP MYCORRHIZAE is primarily a peat-based growing medium focused on structure and beneficial fungi. You should plan to supplement with your own preferred fertilizer program based on the specific needs of the plants you are growing.
While it is designed as a premium potting mix for containers and pots, you can certainly use it to amend your outdoor garden beds. It is particularly helpful if your native soil is heavy or drains poorly, as it will improve the overall soil texture.
A 3.8 cubic foot bale is a professional-sized compressed package. Once you break up the bale and fluff the material with water, it will expand significantly to fill many standard-sized pots or containers.
