All-Organic Self-Watering Container Mix - Item #37-798

Organic Self-Watering Container Mix for Healthy Plants

With a base of sustainably-harvested Canadian peat moss, perlite and limestone fortified with beneficial mycorrhizae and sea-based compost, this lightweight container mix promotes vigorous plant growth and good aeration at the roots. Its coarse, airy texture acts like a wick, carrying water from the planter’s reservoir to the root system. The result is more vigorous root growth, better aeration and less waterlogging. It's also an ideal mix for standard pots and planters.

  • Lightweight, fortified organic container mix
  • Amazing water wicking action with no waterlogging
  • Ideal for all of our Self-Watering Planters
  • 20-quart bag
  • 100% Organic

      I have a small yard and container garden. This mix gives plants in pots the correct mixture to thrive, assisting me as I stubble around trying to make things grow. I need all the help I can get and this product fills the bill.

      Comments about All-Organic Self-Watering Container Mix:

      A very nice soil mix. Last year I used it for the Revolution Tomato planter, a hanging self-watering pot/basket and a self-watering window box. Everything grew well.
      The only issue was that moss & mold grew on the surface, didn't cause any harm, just looked less attractive. Probably because I live in a high humidity climate.

            Comments about All-Organic Self-Watering Container Mix:

            I've used this soil in self-watering pots for vegetables (carrots did especially well, as did tomatoes), in my Revolution Planter for tomatoes, and in indoor pots for the dwarf fruit trees and herbs I grow inside. The plants do great, and I feel good about being able to use organic soil with the right textures for the self-watering containers (as well as those that aren't)

              This is a great product for hanging plants - good soil for the plants but lightweight enough to keep hanging plants from getting way too heavy.

                    Comments about All-Organic Self-Watering Container Mix:

                    The organic mix is entirely different from the non-organic mix. Non-organic mix right out of the bag is dry and dusty, then holds water well. Organic mix is already soft and fluffy, full of peat moss, and it is heavier to lift than the non-organic mix. Both mixes are excellent for seed starting, but seeds like the organic mix more. I used the non-organic mix in several various types of self-watering containers and last year had a bountiful crop of salad greens and carrots, grown indoors under T5 and T8 lights. Expect to use the organic mix extensively this year. So far the seeds are spouting abundantly and growing with enthusiasm.

                      I loved having a "ready to go" product so I didn't have to learn the right combination for success. Thanks!!!

                        This year I tried Hanging Tomatoes to avoid the fungus my tomatoes got through the garden soil. I bought the self-watering planter from Garden's Supply and LOVE it. I used some of this mix and some regular planting soil bought locally. (b/c I didn't buy enough mix initially), but then added more of this mix as needed. It is GREAT! And my tomatoes are the BEST EVER! Next year, I will use ONLY this mix in my planters! It holds the water much better for the plants.

                          I put this container soil in all my containers this year. I grew scallions and tomatoes from seed and sweet peas from seed as well, all of which thrived in this wonderful soil. I highly recommend it.
