Back to The Roots 100% Organic Potting Mix (Value 12 Quart) | Premium Blend | Made in The USA

This is a good seed starting compound. It arrives as a compressed hard block. Just cut the top off the bag and pour in about a gallon and a half of water. It expands to about 3 times its original size. You can user it straight out of the bag or pour it into a container. It works great and retains the moisture needed for the plants. It has the needed nutrients for the plants. My plants are looking great its definitely worth the money.

I really love this soil blend. Unfortunately I opened my bag about a month after I got it and I had little gnats. I’m chalking it up to me letting the product sit and will still use it but treat it to get rid of the gnats.

Perfect quality soil! Looks natural and the germination is quick, these are 2 big bags and easy to mix and is perfect for the money especially if you’re looking for something budget friendly that works. My tomato’s are growing beautifully!

This was my first time buying soil for succulents, and I was really happy with the Back to the Roots mix. When I opened the bag, it did feel slightly damp, but that’s normal for organic soil and it didn’t smell bad at all. The texture is light and drains well, which is important for succulents. I did notice some small twigs and bits of bark, but after learning more, I found out that’s actually good—it helps with airflow and keeps the soil from getting compacted. My plants have been settling in nicely, and I feel confident as a first-time grower that this was the right choice. I also love that it’s organic and made in the USA. For anyone starting out with succulents, this mix is a solid option!

Let me just say this, I am not a big review person. After reading some of the other reviews though, I felt I needed to review this. I’ve had this Euphorbia Trigona (or that’s what it was labeled as) for over 2yrs. It has never grown, it has never put out new leaves, it survived my partners very forgetful plant care techniques. Over the last winter it was just another neglected plant on my already busy schedule of things to get to. It started losing all its leaves. The tops became slightly soft and sponge like to the touch. I had written it off and taken it out of my will. Until about 3 weeks ago when I finally got around to it again. I did a quick search for a potting mix and was determined to fix him. Ordered this mix out of a quick search (I detest miracle gro brand) and it was on its way. The next day I cleaned the pot out, loosened the roots of the two stalks and replanted him back into his pot. The mix was well above the usual quality I see in potting mixes. It had an earthy smell and very light weight. Better than any cactus mix I had seen before. It was easy to mix and settle around the roots. After packing it in, a very good soaking and full 8hrs or drain time… back into a brightly lit dining room area it went. It’s been nearly 2 weeks now and I can not stress how great he looks! New leaves, more growth and it no longer has a soft spot anywhere on it!

Perfect for starting your seeds and herbs. Holds moisture, while also keeping them from saturating. Love the product.

I really like this soil mix. I use it for my indoor plants and to start seedlings, and both do very well in it. You can tell they put care into the ingredients because the texture, drainage, and moisture balance are just right. My plants respond well every time, and I’ve seen strong roots and steady growth. I’ll keep buying this. O’Connor

Ummm the dirt is fine I think but this time around the bag was THICKLY COVERED in dead flies it was disturbing! I thought it was caked on dirt but it was not eek! I haven’t opened the bag yet but I hope there isn’t a pest infestation inside…
