Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I purchased two large self watering patio planters from this web site. I also bought 2 bags of this mix to fill one of them. I decided to buy container soil at [...] that matched the contents of this mix most closely (and which was much cheaper) to fill the other planter. I planted identical plants in each planter (snap dragons and pansies). All the plants in this mix are still alive and doing well while in the other mix most of the pansies died immediately and the snap dragons aren't doing as well. THIS MIX IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE. I won't experiment with other mixes again for use with self-watering containers.

First time user of the product. So far, good results. Only lost one outdoor plant when transferred from pots to the new soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I love the self watering containers and this soil mix. [...]

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I live on property that has no unpaved areas to plant; hence I have a pot garden and intend to make all my pots self-watering. When I start with this mix, I am confident it's best for for the plant.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used in upside down tomato planters
Didn't buy enought for the four planters and ended up with two of this product and two planters with "similar" material from a local garden center. MISTAKE! There was a big need (almost 2x) to water the garden center ones more than the Gardener's Supply mix. I won'r make the same mistake twice.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This year I grew tomatoes on my patio using the
Tomato Success Kit that had this kind of soil.
Not only did I have the best yield of tomatoes ever, but they tasted great too. That is because the plants received just the right amount of water to create big juicy tomatoes due to the wicking action of the container mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I put this soil in several container roses on my deck. Between the self-watering containers, periodic rain, and this soil I have not had to actually water the roses at all this summer. My family and I went on a two week vacation in July (the hottest and driest month here) and the soil was moist and the roses perky when we returned.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Always keep at lest one self-watering container just for distressed or"found" plants. They get special attention, but we don't have to worry about the watering.Used this for years. Cost has gone up, but we still reorder yearly--adding more containers as well as replenishing. [...] Friends laugh that I order "dirt" until they see the results.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I was given a Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily) for my birthday last year. After fretting over the limp leaves and sad look it had from top-watering, I started to bottom water it with a catch-bowl underneath. This became annoying and a bit unsightful. I came across this special soil and also the reservoirs for pots (which allow bottom-watering) and now have a very happy healthy Peace Lily. It is gorgeous!! Thanks for helping me to keep this very thoughtful and lovely plant.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I was given a beautiful Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily) as a birthday gift last year. It was not doing well in its original pot with top-watering, so I started bottom watering it with a dish underneath for excess water. That was just plain annoying! I found this product on-line, along with the reservoir system for any pot, and I now have a fantastic healthy Peace Lily. Can you say, happy, happy, happy??? :-} Awesome soil!! Thanks Gardener's Supply!!!!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Decided to use the recommended self-watering container mix to go with my new planters from Gardener's. Bags are lightweight and after filling 20" planters (including water), I can still lift them. Planting was easy. However I lost some of my drought-resistant plants so I'm not sure how the self-watering feature starts to work. The water in the reservoir needed about a quart after the first month. There must be some missing step to get the water defusing upward into the soil. I've been watering more and the remaining plants look great. I'm hopeful the self-watering feature will still work, especially in the winter with my native perennials.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this planter mix to grow various vegetables,from tomatoes to bell peppers and herbs.It's a well balanced mix,that allows for good water penetration to the root systems,and allows for vigorous growth.I live in a very arid and dry upper desert climate,where water evaporation is very high,so this product holds the moisture in the soil wonderfully.I have nothing but good things to say about this product,I am very satisfied.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I mixed with miracle grow garden soil. It is doing very well.

Planted tomatoes which became too huge so needed to cut them back.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

just mix with water as directed and get ready for a healthy rich garden.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I must admit to being a sceptic. My niece bought this item for me, and I am so-o-o glad she did. As I might not have taken a chance on my own.
I had mentioned to her that I could not keep my hanging baskets alive. She insisted on getting the self watering hanging pots and the soil to go with it. My goodness, They Look Great!!! And, I only have to water once a week. Thank's Gardener's!!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil really does deliver on what it promises... to work better than conventional potting soil... keeps moisture evenly and longer and my potted tomatoes and cucumbers are doing much better than the ones in the garden. Because I work and travel often, I can rest assured that my plants won't be bone dry in this soil when used with a self-watering container.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The boxes are very easy to assemble and to keep watered. The water level indicators are great and make keeping my window boxes moist all the time very easy. Sorry I have not used them before this.

I've been having great success with my self-watering container gardening using this mix. The first time I used this it reminded me of puppy fur as it felt so soft.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use it with my house plants. I am very satisfied with the product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This has the right balance of holding water and providing adequate drainage. I use it in all my containers for outdoor and for most of my seed starting.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Works best in self-watering window boxs that are exposed to a lot of sun.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great soil mixture and I love having ample soil on hand when a new container arrives.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used for window boxes and the Revolution Planter and it was easy to work with and maintains moisture well. It is a little expensive when you need so many bags.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I'm using this product to grow tomatoes and peppers in the upside down containers. Very useful. These containers get very heavy with regular potting soil and this mix facilitates growing while not adding great weight to fences, etc.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

No comment other then it works great

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the perfect "dirt" for containers. It stores well, because you add the moisture when you're ready to use it. [...] It is re-useable for at least three years. Works equally well for flowers or vegetables. I have never had it mold or mildew. In short, "What's not to like?"

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Works well in self-watering containers on the deck. I've been able to take vacations without worrying about the plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product is fantastic along with the self watering containers! We vacation a lot and after 2 weeks, plants still look great! The combination of the soil and planters is the anwer to having flowers all summer that are care free!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

First time user, seems good so far, holds water well

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It really holds the water very well.

Used it for outdoor self-watering containers on the patio. Wonderful airy and light. Retains water nicely.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Excellent soil for all types of container planting. I would highly recommend this. It holds moisture well and the plant thrive in the soil. This should also be sold in Oklahoma and Texas.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this in the past for planting seeds, transplanting and overall
planting.
It retains it's body and composition for long periods of time, and is easy
to use again and again, as long as you add fertilizer to the mixture.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The bag needs to give an approximate amount of water needed to wet the mix. It seems that it took almost the same amount, volume, of water as mix to actually dampen it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

When the reservoir platform collapsed, my son put items beneath it to hold it up. It now works fine and my Fuschia plant is doing very well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I;ve used this mix for my potted plants and growing tomatoes in pots. It's wonderful! Holds the moisture and as it's not tightly packed, aerates the roots.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used mix in tomato tree bag. Works wonderfully. Holds moisture very well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The perfect design soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have a couple of Gardener's Supply Self-watering planters. When I used "regular" soil in them, the plants would get "soaked" and then it would develope "root rot." But since I started using their Self-watering soil, the plant have been happy and so am I.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The soil was easy to work with and just great to add plants to it and set them in well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

KISS - Keep it simple someone ---- This make plantings so much easier as everything is included in this soil mix. The plants thrive in this soil product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this with my new Revolution Planters - it was easy to mix with the tomatoe fertilizer and filling the planter was a cinch! I suspect if I used regular soil that I would not be able to lift the planter. Bravo!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Excellent product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Soil is good consistency. The bags are not heavy. I think the directions should have suggested that you add plant food to the mix before planting.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Love the soil for indoor plants

Love the soil for my outdoor plants

Love the soil for my upside down tomato planter also bought from your company

I used this as the filler in the tomato upside down grow bag... Excellent.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Plants are thriving in this soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the first time I purchased this mix. I have always used other mixes and I'm very impressed with the quality of this product. The vegetable plants are doing very well in our cold and wet spring on Cape Cod this year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have all my hanging baskets, window boxes and most of my outdoor pots converted to self-watering containers using this mix. Everything is growing well and flowering beautifully. My deck has never looked better and I don't have to worry about being gone a couple of days in our really hot and dry weather. I come home and everything is thriving!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this with the upside down tomato planter, which works well as the soil is very lightweight and perfect for this planter. I have my first tomato after only a few weeks...Yay!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Pots with water reservoirs plus this potting soil seem to have solved problems with heat/cold and watering. In the Summer heat, the water keeps the root area from becoming too hot and keeps the plant correctly watered. In the Winter cold, the water keeps the roots from freezing and correctly watered. And it frees me from watering all the time. I just fill the bottom of the pot with water. The plants are looking happier too.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Did not purchase enough of mix for window planters. Made my own mixture using peat moss, perilite, mushroom compost and sand. This worked as good as bags I purchased. Had 25lb bag of perilite on hand from a farm store which I had used for hypertufa planters. Everything else can be purchased from garden supply stores. So you can mixup your own or buy direct and pay frt.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The container mix is working wonders on my tomato plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

use for tomatoes in upside down container

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought the self watering patio planter and used this specific container mix. It is rich and yet light. Very easy to plant items in it and the combo of materials is quite unique. It holds the plants and distributes moisture and yet it also drains well. The container is great but the soil is a big part of the key to success. I recommend this. The bag was a good size too that I could get it out of box and use it (smaller than larger/heavier bags from "home stores and garden centers")

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this product for growing a tomato plant in the Gardeners Revolution planter. The plant is growing fast and seems very healthy & happy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this in my self watering planter. Healthy herbs are growing rapidly. I'm very satisfied

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this soil mix with my terraza planters and my gardener's supply window boxes and they have really combined well to keep my plants healthy in a very windy and at times very hot climate. I live by the beach in New England and the varied weather patterns can really play havoc with my plants. By having this system of self watering containers and this soil mix, my plants are able to thrive in the alternating hot and windy summers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I grew petunias from seed for the 1st time this summer and transferred them to self watering planters loaded with self watering potting mix. We had our 1st 100 degree day this weekend and the soil remained moist even in direct sun. The petunias are growing fast. This is a great product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought started plants from an outlet and transfered them. They have been in for 2 weeks now and doing fine.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Purchased this mix to go along with the self watering planter boxes. The GS-CSR informed me that next year I could resuse the same soil by adding the soil boster, really like that suggstion. So far my flowers and herbs are doing great.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

For window containers. works very well at retaining moisture.

have used this soil for years and the flowers grow bigger and faster in this soil. I use it with my self-watering containers that I bought years ago from your company.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have had two years of great flowers in my self watering deck boxes using the special mix. I add slow release plant food to the mix. Even in hot summer weather I only check the water level every 5 days. One comment...my spouse says I'm the only person in the neighborhood who orders dirt by mail!

it's a great product to use in the self waterers I purchased from Garden Supply !!! Love everything

We live in SW Florida and it's extremely hot this time of year--mix holds up well and I don't have to water as often.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this product in my self watering containers to grow my tomatoes. Works wonderful

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I like this potting soil for my self watering pots (which I have several since I live in California where it doesn't rain for five or six months). It may be a little pricy but it is worth it if you have invested in the self watering pots. Soil is nice and light like you should use in these pots. It's hard to find a similar product locally.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used to mix a similar mix - great to have it premade

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is our second year using the self-watering container mix to grow herbs on the patio. Our summer is long and hot, and patio containers have not fared well in the past. Getting a constant supply of water has made all the difference, and the self-watering containers mean that we do not have to water daily for good water supply to the plants. Our herbs and our palates both thank you!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Seems to be working well thus far.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Using this soil along with the self watering containers is the only way I have found to have beautiful annuals in this very dry climate. The plants are lush and I can be away for a day or two without them dying!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Very good for containers that tend dry out quickly.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

3 bags was almost a full supply for 4 window boxes. The flowers grew faster than ever before and stand tall and are spreading.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I just started gardening, and purchased this soil for my window boxes. I have no skills at planting and most things die, but my flowers are blooming and look beautiful, I would like to believe it is me, picking up gardening, but I have a lot to thank to this soil, it is fantastic and really helps my plants!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The soil seems to be perfect; exactly what my flowers have always needed; especially in the self-watering pot I purchased. It has only been one week and my flowers look awesome.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We're using it in the outdoor, self-draining, watering flower boxes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in the self-watering window boxes. Last year I added water to the window boxes according to the indicator. I found that the soil stayed too wet. Some of my plants developed root rot. This year, so far, I water from the top just keeping the soil moist. So far, so good.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have been planting in my window boxes for the last 15 years with varying success. Now that I started to use your soil mix I can't believe the the fullness of the blooms and great looks and health of my plantings. I thank you for having such a great product at very reasonable price.

Perfect for anything you grow in a container. Grow's large lush plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in all my self watering containers. For vegetable pots I add some compost. I put a bag of the mix in a drug. Spray it with water. Mix it. Add it to the container, set in the plants. Then give the container a good watering.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My plants are bigger any healthier this year than ever!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The herbs and veggies I planted two months ago in this stuff are going nuts!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My fault but I did not read the directions until after I had filled the growing container with this soil. I was supposed to have mixed in water as I filled it, which is a pain in any event, and I had to dump everything and start over. I am now having an issue with fungus on my tomato plants, a problem I've never had before. Don't know if it has to do with this mix "holding on" to water or what - but I am underwhelmed by the product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It works well with the self watering contains. I was amazed at the root growth my plants had made in just a week.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use it for my hanging tomatoe tree that I purchased about three years ago. It's not heavy and full of nutrients so I like it. My tomatoes seem to do very well with this soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This container mix works great with the self water pots and kits. i would buy this again.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This mix makes it really easy to set up the hanging planters. I would buy it again.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My deck garden is extremely lush this year. The soil has a great texture that the plants seem to love, and my previous twice a day watering routine is now every other day. I'll be getting more of this stuff.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

As a beginner, it was nice not to have a premixing project to do before I assembled the planter.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We used this in 3 window boxes. We have always had trouble maintaining the proper moisture level in our window boxes - this product has solved that problem. And the plants love it - they are spilling over the edge after only a week of being planted.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this every year and have beautiful potted plants on my deck. Thanks.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I like the way it stays damp and works with my self watering containers

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Although this was a convenient size for the hanging tomato bags, i find that because there was no fertilizer in the mix to start the plants that I would not use again and will stick to miracle-gro plant mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My plants are happy and thriving. The mix seems to retain an appropriate amount of moisture. It's too early to know how the harvest turns out!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the best container "soil" around. It allows plant roots to spread, wicks water when needed and is lightweight. It's a little expensive, but a good value.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I USE IT IN CONTAINER GARDENING FOR MY HOMEGROWN TOMATOES. THERE ARE USUALLY NO BUGS BY USING IT ON THE PATIO

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Care convenience

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

When container gardening, my biggest problem is that conventional (read chemical-enriched) potting soil BURNS MY HANDS. I enjoy gardening as a way to get close to the earth and nature; I don't enjoy having to wear hazmat gloves to handle dirt.

I was THRILLED to be able to work with this material and not have blisters all over my fingers when I was done. (I have eczema prone skin, it blisters with scary ease and then bleeds, itches and burns for weeks.)

This container/potting soil is wonderful, because I can add EXACTLY what I need, when I need it. This means I can use it for ANY container/pot planting!!!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great potting soil for window boxes and hanging baskets. It's lighter weight than other potting mixes, helps the roots from young plants to spread quickly and seems to hold moisture well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The self watering container mix is a good product for a novice but one that can be duplicated at a much lower cost by anyone who understands garden soils. Also, I do not understand any reason to discard the soil mixture after the growing season is over. I will simply dismount the planters and store them in a dry environment where temperatures stay above freezing - to prevent the planters from cracking if there is still water in the soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought what I thought was enough of this soil to fill the planters I also purchased. I got twice as much as expected but am not concerned as I love the self-watering planters and plan to purchase more. This is easy to work with, very light and seems to hold water well--my plants are doing great. Considering the shipping costs though, I wonder if it would be cheaper to make your own.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

When I bought the stand and hangers,I figured I would try their container mix,and their all purpose fertilzer.Well let me tell you,I could not belive my eyes.I planted three Tomato and one Pepper plant[small plants]The first week they grew a little,then we left on vacation for seven days,and when we got back,the plants grew three times the size they where,and four little Tomatos on one plant and tomato flowers on all the plants.The Pepper plant has five very small Peppers starting.I will continue to buy there mixs,and fertilzer.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Last year I used a potting soil with moisture control and the plants had a hard time growing with the self watering system but this year I used the self watering mix and my potted plants are much happier. The mix is nice and light which allows the roots to find the water vapors much easier. I will be using the mix each year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

as a garden club we use this soil in our self watering containers in the center of town, the plants are doing awesome and less watering for us.....

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I put this in the potatoe containers and my plants are going crazy! It does not seem to dry out near as fast as the conventional potting soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I really like this dirt. I live in Calif and we are in a drought so you are not suppose to water a lot. I'm useing it for the Topsy Tomato tree and you know how much tomato's like water. Well so far I don't have to give them more or less (depends on the weather) then a quart a day and there are 3 plants in it. Also I know it's silly but I didn't use my gardening gloves when I put the dirt in , because it felt so silky.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Every plant we planted using this mix has thrived! We were worried about what to use in our window boxes to assure the plants would be 'happy' and this mix certainly has worked!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Use in container garden.
Holds moisture well and supports good growth.
New soil presumably sterile but grubs found as seeds sprouted.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is my first time using a self-watering container and container mix. I certainly don't have to worry about my plants drying out. The growing medium has a very nice texture--it is a quality mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Appears to be well mixed. Drains excess water well.

I would recommend it to any gardener.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We started growing tomatoes upside down in hanging bags three years ago, when our puppies proved to be all too interested in ground level plants. We love it - no weeds, easy to avoid overwatering, simple to harvest - and attractive.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Retained quite a bit of water, don't underestimate the amount needed, buy two or more bags.

This is the first year I've used this and it is easy to use and work with, I'm glad I got it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Love this product. We use it in our outside planters for vegetables and I have added it to my inside plants. It is lightweight and the water doesn't sit on top or make a hard crust after watering. It's a little expensive, but far superior to any other mix I have found.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

A nice blend of soil and additives but could probably do better at your local hardware or lawn store in terms of price. It was nice to save the trip, but the cost is high.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I'm using it in a hanging tomato planter. 1st use. We'll see how it is but so far, it looks quite good.

I used this product for my tomato planter and was very satisfied.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have post of flowers hanging in full sun from my fence. I am away alot and not around to water the plants. This, combined with a self watering container does a great job keeping my annuals alive. The pots are in full sun and made of metal. Depending on the weather, I can get from 2 days to week without watering. If it's 90 degrees and dry, I might get only two days. But, if it rains even a little, I can get through a week, especially in cooler weather.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Uste in tomato tree
good water absorbtion

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

First, it doesn't cost a fortune to have planting medium delivered to your door. This is a lightweight healthy container mix that won't weigh down your pots, indoors or out. I add some fertilizer to this mix before filling containers and have had great success with tomatoes, peppers, herbs and flowering plants. I won't use anything else now! This mix is much lighter than other mixes I've tried, and it smells good!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The only thing I noticed was while filling the planters the wind blew some of the soil out until I mixed it with more water

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am new to this, so I wouldn't take my word for anything.
Also, I only recently started using it.

However I can say that in my self-designed self-watering container garden with 30% this stuff on the edges dipping into the large reservoir and a mix of regular potting soil and compost everywhere else the soil stayed slightly damp but not overly saturated for 3 weeks without adding any water or doing anything in particular.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am using this in the self-watering containter planter, and I have never had such great looking tomato plants. Will definitely buy over and over again.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use in my three self watering window boxes. It is airy and the plants geta good start with their little roots. The soil draws just enough to water the plants, no over watering.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this product every year and am rewarded with vegtables in a climate that is not meant for novice gardening.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The soil is very good at holding water and working with the self watering planters. The cost per bag is a little high, but my plants are really growing well!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used the product in the hanging tomato planter. It's only been in place for three weeks. It seems to be holding moisture well and allowing the self water feature of the planter to work well. I have started a companion tomato plant in the conventional way. I will let you know in about 2 months what my mini study shows.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil really makes a difference when you are away for as much as a week. I notice such an improvement in my hanging baskets.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this mix in my self-watering containers, which are the best inventions ever.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great for use in self watering window boxes!!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We container garden on the 10th-floor terrace of a state government building in New York City. We commute to work by subway, so delivery is mandatory. This is the second season we've used your Self-watering Container mix, and we count on its holding power to sustain our plants over weekends and long holiday weekends. Heirloom tomatoes, rose bushes, and other hardy flowers all doing spectacularly.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Purchased for use with the Gardner's Revolution planter and kept the planter light enough for me to hang up.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Takes the guess work out of what type of soil to use for your gardening projects.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use in my self-watering containers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this planting mix to fill the upside down tomato bags. Great soil. You need to follow the instructions to moisten the soil prior to planting.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I transplanted my yellow pepper plants from ground to the planter in Dec 08, now they are blooming with more peppers than before.

I transplanted tomato plants from ground to the platner, but they were half-dead, so I threw away the tomato plants. I guess the roots of the tomato plants were too long and wide spreaded out that it couldn't grow downward, so the plants
did not grow well.

Now, I am growing coins in the planter, they are shooting out fine.

To pull out the plants from the container mix, it's much easier than from the ground, no digging and no damage to the roots or bulbs.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My tomato plants and flower plants love this light-weight soil. It is great for outdoor plants. The tomatoes were very productive and I had tomatoes earlier in the season by about 6 weeks.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is great with the self-watering planters, as advertised. I have large urn-type containers as well as boxes hanging on my deck railing and this soil works well. I used it last year and all of my herbs grew lush and healthy - my first attempt at herb gardening.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used other "container" mixes and I like this one the best. The consistency is just right for containers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this in my self watering window boxes - Great stuff! Re-hydrates well, lightweight and so far the plantings are doing very well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used for tomato tree

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil is very useful for tomato tree since it was so light weight. however it is best to get 2 bags of light weight soil since once watered soil gets very compact and does not fill to suggested amount in the plant holder.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil is the best for self-watering containers. I tried another brand one year and my flowers didn't do as well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good product but too expensive

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product works very well in hanging baskets.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am using this soil in the self-watering window boxes I purchased. The bag and soil are lightweight so it doesn't weigh down the hanging box. Much better than what I have been using. On the expensive side but I can't find any of this soil around my town.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The water doesn't just stand on top like other mixes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Just planted and am waiting for more time to see the outcome of using this product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I love this soil. I started a few years ago, with pots for vegetables. Over the years I've been turning more and more of my yard over to vegetable gardening, but I still do the containers as well. The first thing I love about this soil is that I can carry it. It is simply easier to work with than other potting soils. The light weight saves my back, and makes it easier to do things like add around plants without damage. For example, its great stuff to pile on around container potatoes because it's forgiving if you're clumsy like me and tend to spill or miss spots and end up breaking pieces of the plants.

This year I am growing a number of the same plants in both containers and ground in order to compare. Thus far, the one drawback of the containers (and maybe or maybe not the soil) was that after an extraordinary amount of rain days, plants in the containers were more susceptible to molds or fungus. But I will say with a little pruning and the return of the sun the plants recovered well.

Finally, after a season or two of container duty, I add this stuff to my beds, and find it has contributed well to the structure of the soil over time.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought this mix to go into my new self watering window boxes that I also bought from you. It's a nice light mix. This is my first time trying this mix but I have high hopes my plants will be beautiful!

Nice and fluffy

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the best I've found for my hanging baskets. Each year I put out as many as 16 around my house. With this product I can leave home for a few days and not worry about watering. I also mix it with top soil when planting annuals, or even transplants, if I wait to late in the year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Use this product in many applications. never have had a proble with it. Always got excellent results in anything planted in it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I discovered self-watering containers and then this container mix. It really holds the moisture, the plants thrive, and it doesn't weigh as much as regular plant soil (important when you're moving/lifting). I use it in all of my outdoor self-watering container gardening as I grow vegetables on my deck to keep them away from the wildlife. I just tried this product in a hanging tomato basket and am optimistic that it will work well in that application too.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used it in my hanging tomatoe planter and it really was easy to handle and does a great job of holding the water!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I'm in the third year of growing delicious tomatoes in the Tomato Success kit. They are the talk of the neighborhood, and I have convinced several to buy one for themselves. I used to have a 30'X50' vegetable garden, and now cannot have a garden. The kit provides a suitable substitute for great tomatoes I used to grow.

This is a great soil-less mix I even use it in my Earth Boxes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this in my outside hanging planters. I could have never hung up the containers with any other kind of [moist] soil. Also used in other self-watering containers and don't seem to need to water as often. Very important as I live in the desert where temps get into the three digit numbers in summer. Transplanted a houseplant to this soil and it's perked up considerably!!

I use this mix in all my self-watering containers that I buy from Gardener's Supply. I also use the granular organic fertilizer from Gardener's. The plants in my dozen-plus containers grow better and look better with this special container mix. I now have to water only once a week, and everything always looks good.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in my self watering pots and it works really well. It is so light I am able to haul my 16 inch pots inside, down the stairs for winter storage all my myself. It worked better in the self waterers than regular potting soil.

light weight, absorbs water and holds moisture, works great in the hanging planter.

Recently received the self-growing container. Very
easy to assembly,. Very happy with size and that
you could get the potting mix and fertilizer for it. It is still too early in the cleveland, OH
area to plant, but that will change within the next few weeks. I am excited to try this myslef.

Mix is light and takes on water well. Should work with any type plant.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have two self-watering window box planters, and have just ordered 2 more. I always use this planting mix because it absorbs and holds water well and is not heavy. Being away from home often, this has been very convenient. I replace some, but not all, of the mix each year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Mixing with water is messy as noted above, but I still really like the product. Regular potting soil is just too heavy in large pots, this produce is great.

I have used this for 3 or 4 years now and I don't even buy the stuff in the garden stores. I have had tomatoes grow to 10 to 12 feet and stay well water because of the mix.

Poured easily into the planter boxes. Plants transplanted easily. Holds moisture well. Doesn't blow away.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use it in my self watering containers. I like the lightness of the soil but needed to move my units to protect them during heavy rains as the soil easily became super saturated. My plants grew well - excellent results with lettuce and beet greens.
