I decided to get 2 tomato plants this year - kind of a science experiment. :-) I put them in the ground and the plants were barely growing. I thought that maybe our soil here was just without any nutrients as nothing is ever done with the yard except cutting the grass. I added some liquid fertilizer which helped for a while.I found Back To The Roots Organic Potting Mix here on Amazon and decided to try it. All I could do was very gently turn about 1" of soil on top and then add the potting mix. In 3 days both plants had grown about a foot and blooms started to appear. I added more about 2 months later and the plants are over 4 ft. tall now. Sadly, I've only had 4 tomatoes produced from the blooms. But, you can bet that next year my "science experiment" will include deeply tilling/turning the soil with Back To The Roots Organic Potting Mix. I will also add whatever other nutrients are needed for tomato plants.

I picked up Back to the Roots Organic Seed Starting Soil for my little greenhouse project, and let me tell you — this stuff is plant magic in a bag. I’m rooting azaleas, roses, camellias, and hydrangeas, and they’re all popping off like they’ve just discovered caffeine.Everything is growing, rooting, thriving — and I’m out here feeling like a botanical wizard. My thumb is officially turning green, and I’m only mildly obsessed with checking on my plants every five minutes.The soil is rich, clean, easy to work with, and clearly has some good vibes baked in. Five stars for making me feel like I actually know what I’m doing — and for turning my little greenhouse into a plant party. 🌱✨

Good starter soil for seeds. It expands at least 5 times the size when you add water. Just planted a week ago and plants are sprouting.

I have used these products for years, both as the little starter plants for teaching children and their dirt (buying it from their website). I am so excited they are selling their dirt now in larger bags since it is fantastic for plants and at a price that is more affordable for many home growers. I wish they sold it in larger bags. The bags though are the perfect weights for doing indoor planting without much fuss and I typically do not need my husband's help lugging plants around.I have purchased both the succulent soil and potting soil, even though my last purchase was the potting soil for taking care of some of my other indoor plants. The plant nutrient mix is great for keeping plants healthy and rejuvenating sicker plants to a healthier state (I have a bad habit of buying hurt plants at big box stores and getting them healthy before re-homing them). This has started being one of my go-to soil companies.

As a new plant owner, I don’t know much about everything it takes to care for plants just yet. I knew I wanted some general purpose soil to meet all my needs since I have different types. I’ve potted and repotted multiple plants now using just this soil and I have no complaints. Plus, the bags are pretty big in size so I still have plenty leftover for my future needs. Overall it’s really good quality for the value and my plants are very healthy.

Not the greatest. Wasn’t too impressed at all. Full of gnats and dries out quickly. Had to amend the soil before using. Truly will not purchase again.

Very nice quality soil but very pricey for the amount in the bags.
