Know before you buy
Yes. Because it is OMRI-listed for organic gardening, it is perfectly safe and well-suited for growing vegetables, herbs, and other edibles in containers.
This soil is enriched with earthworm castings and compost, which provide natural nutrients. It does not contain synthetic chemical fertilizers.
Absolutely. The inclusion of perlite and pumice ensures the mix remains light and airy, which helps prevent root rot and provides the drainage indoor plants need.
While it is an excellent all-purpose potting mix, it is quite rich. For very delicate seeds, some gardeners prefer a finer seed-starting medium, but it works well for transplanting seedlings into larger pots.
One 2-cubic-foot bag is typically enough to fill several medium-sized containers or one large planter. It is best to measure your pots' dimensions to ensure you have enough to fill them to the desired depth.
