From the brand
Living close to the land keeps you grounded in life’s richest gifts. The secret to getting the most from these gifts is that you get back from the earth what you put into it. And nothing nurtures the world above better than the soil below, which is why we believe gardening should be done organically. We pride ourselves in providing a diverse portfolio of innovative organic soils and fertilizers, most of which are OMRI certified.

Only the best
My tomatoes never looked so good! Perfect for container gardens. I use to swear by a certain “top brand,” but now I will never go back.

Great plant food
Great alternative to stonington bay. Better pricepoint. Add perlite. Soil holds water, doesn’t dry out fast. Plants love it. I’m a fan.

Some excellent soil for container garden
Super nice feeling soil, planted containers with potatoes and also peas and tomato plants, everything is growing more than I even expected. I liked that it is organic. Two bags were enough to mound up 8 potato plants, and have extra for 2 more planters. Excellent value for the money.

One of the Best Soil I Bought!!
This soil is perfect it already has nutrients in it allow my vegetables to feed for a little while, I do also wanna add that the soil was a darker then other soils I used to buy, which I believe is because of the compost that’s in it which is telling me there isn’t a whole lot of peat moss and the soil mixture was perfect I seen a good amount of perlite, a good amount of coco coir/ peat moss, and good amount of compost! And doesn’t have a funky smell lol

room to improve
I know this is a great soil with rich nutrients, but it always comes ridden with fungus gnats. I end up having to buy extra products just to deal with the infestation.
