Back to the Roots 100% Organic, All-Purpose Soil, for Indoor and Outdoor Plants, Succulents, Flowers, and Vegetables

A very nice soil that is rather fine. It's excellent for starting seeds and nurturing young seedlings. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: while seeds germinated faster with this mix, the seeds planted in MiracleGro seed starting mix did all eventually germinate and in fact are now looking much more healthy than the Back to Roots mix. Top 2 rows in second photo are in miracle gro mix, bottom 2 rows in back to roots mixture. I’m changing from 5-stars to 4 only because I think the miraclegro seed starting mix is out performing Original review: 100% germination of tomato seeds with this mix vs about 65% germination with Miracle Gro brand seed starting mix in same environment. Used covered tray with grow lights, warming pad and “Cow Pots” 3” pots.

I found it light and easy to use for seeds this spring.

I typically like Back to the Roots' products, but this one is a huge pass from me. I started my first tray of seedlings in this mix and a second tray with another mix - both were otherwise kept in the same growing conditions in a controlled environment. I'm giving 3 stars only because, technically, most everything germinated. However, this mix had so many huge chunks in it and most of the seedlings suffered from damping off (I actually grew a mushroom in one cell) or just plain struggled beyond the initial germination. They were not overwatered, and were actually bottom watered. This may be fine as a potting mix, but for seedlings vulnerable to mold/fungus (they're not so vulnerable once a bit bigger) I'm sticking to something that is more sterile.

Full of sticks and junk. much cheaper than potting mix.
