Item Specifics

The Espoma AP8 8-Quart Organic Potting Mix is good for all indoor and outdoor containers.  It has been enhanced with Myco-Tone water saving formula.  This potting soil has good moisture retention, and it will reduce drought stress.  When using this potting soil, it will help promote root growth and will help grow big plants.  This potting soil is organic.

Good and Fast Sprouting Rate

The rate at which seeds sprouted was very good for this potting soil according to customers.  Here is what one customer shared, "This is a really nice, rich potting mix. My plan was to grow some oat and wheat grass for my indoor pets to eat. For this reason, I chose an organic soil. I planted the seeds in a long plastic planter with a clear plastic lid and placed it in the sunlight below a south-facing window (it's winter here in Minnesota). Within four days the grass had sprouted and grown to a height of 1 inch. I hadn't even bothered to check it till then, because I didn't expect any growth at all that soon. I was amazed. I imagine this was the result of using a good seed and a great potting mix. I couldn't be more pleased."

Organic

If you don't want chemicals and synthetic substances around your seedlings this is a great choice.  Many people chose because it was organic and void of harmful products.  Here is what one customer commented, "I have been looking for Potting Soil that actually felt, smelled and looked like the potting soil I remember using for many years and I finally found it. Most potting soil I find at the mass merchants either have chemical fertilizers loaded up in it or look and smell like the city dump. This potting soil is that wonderful black stuff with the vermiculite in it and it is wonderful! Love it."

Easy to Open and Resealable Bag

The bag is easy to open and you can also reseal it for later use due to the zip lock feature.  Here is what one person had to say about the bag, "The bag opens easily and has a zip lock feature so it can be stored for later use."

This is an organic potting soil that is void of chemicals.  If you are looking for a good, old fashioned potting soil, Espoma AP8 8-Quart Organic Potting Mix is a great choice.  It has a high sprouting rate according to customers and it doesn't encourage mold like some of the other potting soils do.  Also, it comes in a bag that is both easy to open and resealable.
