Espoma Organic Potting Soil Mix - All Natural Potting Mix For All Indoor & Outdoor Containers Including Herbs & Vegetables. For Organic Gardening, 4qt. bag. Pack of 1

Let me preface this review by saying that I don't consider this a bad product, just wanted to provide this info for anyone else that might need it. I purchased this organic soil to make Walstad dirted shrimp tank, which I understand is not the intended use-case of this product. I established the tank for two weeks with the soil and all the plants before introducing the shrimp. I'll say that the soil works great for the purpose of supporting aquatic plants and the fauna that tagged along with them (snails, worms, bacteria, etc). If you simply wanted to create an aquatic aquarium then I'd say this product will work for you. However, when I introduced the shrimp they really struggled in the tank. Constantly at the water's surface even with water changes and checking all the parameters. After losing a few shrimp I transferred them to another container that just had some fresh RO water and fluval stratum and they perked right up. Based on my researched I've read that some topsoil blends just don't play well with shrimp and their sensitive water needs, so I wanted to put this out there for anyone that comes along.

The Espoma potting mix is great for my plants - delivery arrived on time and the bag as clean and intact. The instructions on the bag are easy to understand and follow, and are in English. Wear gloves when using the pitting mix for your plants to keep your hands clean, and using a trowel or shovel to add to your potted plants makes gardening easier.

This is a nice soil mix that I used for potting a couple of plants and topping off the soil on a couple of others. It's a bit more expensive than most, but a good product.

I bought a couple bags of this Espoma organic potting mix after seeing a gardner's blog about how good it is, and finding it here on Amazon. She was right. I was using a different brand for years for my house plants, and the soil always dried out in the winter within two days even though it was an all purpose mix. As soon as I received the Epsom bags I changed the potting mix in all of my pothos hanging baskets. Same plants and containers just new soil. Four days later and the soil is not dried out like the other product. This soil mix held the moisture nicely for three days so the plant could take it up, and is now getting lighter so the roots can breath. I just purchased more to put in my outdoor containers for spring plantings. Says it has myco-tone for stronger roots so that's a plus. Great price. Glad I found it on Amazon.

Good soil but small bag.
