Grow - Organic Raised Bed and General-Use Soil Mix
Best organic soil for gardeners seeking robust plant growth.
This blended general-purpose soil mix is our go-to for most home-growing projects. Do you have healthy transplants? Put them in Grow. Have an existing garden that needs a shot in the arm? Add Grow. This balanced, user-friendly soil is ideal for a wide range of applications because of its texture, balanced fertility, and water management properties. Plants in Grow are difficult to over or underwater and the base nutrients and trace minerals provide ample support for plant development. It is recommended for outdoor raised-beds or garden plots growing food, flowers, and trees, and works great in containers 5 gallons and up.

Know before you buy
This mix is specifically formulated for outdoor use in raised beds, garden plots, and large containers. Because it is designed for outdoor drainage and fertility, it may be too heavy or hold too much moisture for typical indoor houseplants.
Instead of peat moss, this blend uses pine bark and compost to provide structure and moisture retention. Choosing peat-free soil is a more sustainable choice, as it avoids the environmental impact associated with harvesting peat bogs.
No, this mix is already balanced with base nutrients and trace minerals, including blood meal, bone meal, and kelp meal. It is designed to support plant development on its own, though you may choose to supplement depending on the specific needs of heavy-feeding crops.
We recommend this mix for containers 5 gallons and up. For smaller pots or delicate seed starting, the texture may be too coarse; a finer, lighter potting mix is generally better suited for those specific applications.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for amending tired garden soil. Simply mix it into your existing plot to improve the overall texture, fertility, and water management of your garden.
