Warning! I’ve tried to use this soil brand twice now, indoors and outdoors. It is awful with poor water retention and drainage (I know it seems impossible to do both but this it does)
Outdoors- all my plants died with the exception of basil
Indoors- increased gnats and made it hard to maintain a water schedule
I don’t mean to be so negative but I don’t want others to go through what I went through

Thank you for the warning! I haven’t seen that brand around, but I will avoid it. I use G&B organics and have perlite, vermiculite, coconut coir, sand, etc. On hand to make mixes. I have the benefit of a sister with a nice greenhouse space so we pool our resources though. But we have always had great luck with the G&B.
