Espoma Organic Raised Bed Mix - All Natural and Organic Potting Soil Mix for Growing Vegetables and Herbs in Raised Garden Beds. for Organic Gardening.1.5 Cubic Foot Bag

I’m very impressed with the Espoma Organic Raised Bed Mix. It has a fresh, clean smell with absolutely no manure or overpowering odors, which is a huge plus. Living in the subtropical climate of Southwest Florida, I found that it retains moisture very well, keeping my plants hydrated without becoming soggy.I successfully grew multiple varieties of vegetables—including eggplant, green beans, and several herbs and spices—all started from seed. Additionally, I grew beautiful zinnias, sunflowers, and even dandelions using this mix. The soil supports robust root development and overall healthy plant growth. The plants continue to grow big and strong because of the solid foundation given by this mix.Another great benefit is that it has helped keep bug and pest infestations low, which made caring for my plants easier and less stressful.It was worth every penny, and the product shipped quickly. I’ll definitely be using this mix again for my garden!⭐ Jessica’s Personal Rating System (For Any Product)⭐ 1 Star – Not Worth ItMajor issues with quality, performance, or usabilityDidn’t meet expectations at allFrustrating to use or completely ineffectiveWould not buy again or recommend⭐⭐ 2 Stars – DisappointingSome function or value, but significant flawsPoor design, confusing instructions, or unreliable performanceBarely usable or not worth the priceMight finish using it, but definitely wouldn’t repurchase⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars – Acceptable but UnimpressiveWorks, but with noticeable limitationsBasic quality and utility; gets the job doneSome effort required to make it work wellMight recommend with reservations⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Stars – Solid ChoiceGood quality and performs as expectedMostly easy to use or enjoyableMinor drawbacks, but nothing deal-breakingWould buy again and recommend to others⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Excellent / Highly RecommendedOutstanding performance, quality, and designExceeds expectations, solves a problem, or adds real valueEasy, enjoyable, or satisfying to useWould definitely repurchase and enthusiastically recommend

Value for money

I usually buy 2 cubic foot potting mixes from nurseries because I do a lot of planting in the elevated pots and platform boxes I have made my garden to prevent my old back complaining too much, but this year I decided to let others do the heavy lifting and just ordered it from Amazon, and this 1.5 cubic foot mix was perfect...and to be clear, I had never used this brand before and was skeptical, but, the bag was perfectly sealed (always a good sign buying potting mixes), when opened the aroma was as expectd, no moldy smells, no dried out areas, both yo d signs also. It poured well from the bag, compost was evenly blended and it is helping 9 veggies and 12 flowering plants grow quite well, in AA wet February in chiller than normal, So California this year. So...overall analysis ...pretty good! If I remember to update this after everything gets to the picking stage, I will I likely will buy more of this brand . Thank you seller.

The media could not be loaded. Quality:The quality seems really good so far, I used this for a vegetable gareden and my plant's are thriving so far. Watch video to see detail of soil.

Espoma products are good quality.

This is the best product ever for your raised beds. It has lots of nutrients to enhance your garden beds! Buy it! You will love it!!

Used in first raised beds. Too soon to tell. Second year is suppose to be better. Doubt that next summer will be any cooler.

I recently decided to start a vegetable and fruit garden in pots and a raised bed. But before I can transplant, I needed to start some seeds. I purchased some small cups with holes in the bottom and a plastic cover with holes to help hold in moisture. I add the Espoma Organic Raised Bed Mix, lightly watered, made a hole in the middle of the soil and put in seeds. I started watermelon, cantaloupe, kale, collards, mini bell peppers, strawberries and cucumber. In one cup, I put the bottom of a stalk of celery. Every single seed has sprouted and growing very well. Even the celery has a bunch of green leaves in the center. I purchased the soil specifically because buying all the items needed to have good soil is expensive. This soil has everything you need to ensure your garden has a good start. The only downside is the cost. But like I said buying everything separate costs more and it would sit in storage during the summer. Regardless, if you can afford a bag, I highly recommend getting the soil.
