Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I must be gone days at a time and now I no longer have to worry about my plants drying up while I am gone. My daughter sent me the planter and watering system. I was so thrilled I also order the soil. Thank You

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I just bought two self-watering containers for my patio. This is the first time I've used these and I wanted to get started off right by using the right soil. I think this is a good choice. It is light and airy and looks like it is full of organic material. It seems to soak up exactly the right amount of moisture that the plants need. I thought I'd help my seeds and seedlings along when I first planted them by watering some from the top. But, apparently it did not need it, because almost all of it drained out the overflow holes. I just left it alone after that and things are growing fine. [...] I may get it again next year because I can trust it, being a novice at all this!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Have used this product for both tomatoes and deck plants in self-watering planters. It works quite well with nothing negative that I can see. Definitely will use again.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My hanging planters & other potted plants thrive in this even when a dry spell, or very wet spell.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I gave my daughter two window boxes for her birthday, she used the self-watering container mix in one and some other kind of moisture control potting soil in the other. She said Gardeners Supply self-watering container mix worked MUCH better.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I've had my window boxes for three years. The first year I used your container mix, the second year I used another one that I bought near my home. That year my flowers did not grow as well as the first year, so I am back to your excellent container mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used in all pots and windowboxes. Plants are thriving and bags are manageable weight-wise for a small lady to move around. Nice and fluffy mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We've had a wet spring -- potting mix has responded well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

While the product is only soil for tomato planters I am now in my 4th year of using it. I could easily go to a local nursery and purchase tomato soil, but I really like yours, it's premeasured for each hanging bag, and it produces abundance just like promised.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We decided to use self-watering pots in an area along our hedge where our flowers would seldom get any significant moisture from the rain. It has been three weeks since we planted and the soil is always moist. The heat of the summer is just arriving, that will be the true test.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

start my own potted plants ( annual flowers )- comes out cheaper and flowers last longer than the " ready made" plants at garden centers

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am a newby. I just started with window boxes. This soil is so light and easy to work with. The size of the bag is so easy to handle.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Tried regular potting soil last year and the results were disappointing.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Wish I knew you could get it with plant food right in the mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am very pleased with the self watering container mix. Its light and very easy to handle. The flowers are looking healthy and beautiful in their containers. I will recommend this product to my garden club.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Unique soil blend that is worth ordering by mail. It is light and fluffy and while designed for self-watering containers, could also be used for regular window boxes, hanging containers or small pots. I don't know of its long-term nature, but self-watering containers and window boxes should be cleaned or 'refreshed' annually, anyway. For regular boxes and containers, this soil could be mixed with other container soils to achieve certain soil types; at least I like doing that.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Wonderful product, high quality, easy to use and great for beginners!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Have been using this product for about three years now and have not been disappointed.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use the soil to plant my terrace geraniums every year. The plants love it because the containers are self-watering so the roots just take the amount of water they need. The only negative is that I throw away the soil in October so I can store the planters. And Come spring I just can't plant new plants in old rooted soil. Its a big job to do this but I feel worth it because the self watering containers will keep the geraniums healthy for 6 months till frost sets in.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use the mix in my hanging planters and they keep moist for several days.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Excellent soil for containters. I mix with Miracle grow planting soil and the flowers to great!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in all the containers I plant for my patio, not just the self-watering containers. It is light enough that even large planters can be picked up and moved when they are filled.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My tomatoes and other vegetables are growing fast! Lots of little tomatoes on them. Pretty soon I'll have all I can use and will be able to give some away.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I purchased this product to use in the new flowerboxes and hanging baskets. The bags were light weight and easy for me to move. The quality is very high and it absorbs moisture well. I will definately purchase again next season.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil is still moist, including the surface, 3 days in the Texas heat. This is the way to have outdoor plants in summer climates that are as brutal as in Texas

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil keeps my plants happy through the hottest summer. Hanging pots dry out quickly, but this soil keeps the moisture at the plants roots to keep them happy. Great product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product is a 'must have' every year to replenish my self watering tomato systems that I purchased from gardeners.com 8 years ago!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The lettuce thrives in this.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have 4 Begonia plants and a bag of Gardeners Supply container mix. 2 Begonia plants were planted in a hanging basket with some of the mix. 2 other Begonia plants went into a pot filled with compost and another kind of potting mix. Both were watered and given good location.
Within a week you could see the difference!
I have never advertised like this before! But I do now. Those 2 Begonias growing in your special mix just radiated out and up with vibrant color. The other two just - pfff! Ordinary. So So. Half the life and growth.
Only complaint - I wish I could afford 100 bags of that stuff. There are suggestions for making your own mix which I might try. But that bagged beautiful stuff is really tops! All ready for use.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is just great for our arid climate.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Using this in 18 inch self-watering planters for hollyhocks and morning glory and in a topsy turvy hanging planter for tomatoes and torch lilies. My first year as a gardener with planting beds and containers which I use because we live on rock.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Now this is what I call "good dirt" - no rocks, sticks or mold - just the best for the plants

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought a bag of the container mix to fill three of Garden Supply's self-watering hanging baskets. It was enough to fill all three baskets with a small amount to spare. My plants are all doing well (I replenish the water supply every few days) so I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This container mix and the self watering containers last year made the best and easiest flowers I have ever had.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this product for at least the past 10 years. My daughters now use this product with the same great results that I get.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is a great product for use with the hanging tomato planters as it provides the proper mixture without the bulk of potting soil. It is also more cost effective to purchase it this way than to try to mix your own.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this product with the self-watering planter also sold by Gardener's Supply Co. I have left the soil in the same planter for 3 years with success.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is my second year using this in my self-watering containers. I personally order this because it works better than any product that sells locally. I also do not have the time to create the mix myself. At first it seems a little expensive to order soil through the mail with shipping costs, but with a coupon vs driving to buy locally, it is worth it. It drains well, is light and fluffy and it gets the job done for my tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes which were all in containers last year. Great product overall!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I , have been this product for awhile now.Best Item to start your plants from seeds.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I liked the soil. It does hold water well and yet is light weight in the hanging baskets.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Grown vegetables in selfwatering planters for many years and this soil has been perfect.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Really helped retain the water in planter and seems to be very useful.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

this is the second year I have gotten this soil- worked great last year even was I was gone on vacation

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

used this in selfwatering window boxes last year and it was wonderful stuff. bought more for this year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The flower pots are large and hold multiple plants for a showy display.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Product will save on daily watering in the hot weather- if we ever get warm weather!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought one then later a second two tier----they fits outside my kitchen door which makes for easy access for cooking. The soil makes all the difference. I know because I did my own testing with your soil in top tier and moisture-grow soil in the bottom tier----your soil produced beautiful herbs---the bottom was average. I liked it so much I sent my sister one for her birthday--complete with your soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

i use new every year and mix the old used with other dirt for my flower containers

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have been using Gardeners Supply dirt for at least 9 yrs...there really is a difference. I think its a bargain too!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

With minimal groundspace (I live in a townhouse), planting roses and vegetables in self-watering containers is my means of gardening. I have used this product for years, and it has given me repeated success. I purchase a few bags each year to replenish or add another large pot. Because of its composition, the bag is easy for me to carry - an important element as well.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I enjoy this soil because it's lite and easy to fill my window boxes and hanging planters.My plants breath through the growing season and it holds the water well. It could be a touch better if there were a little fertilizer mixed in with the soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This medium stays moist and helps to grow healthy plants that bloom all summer.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used the self-watering container mix in my new self watering pots. Easy to mix, easy instructions. Flowers look great!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this for several years now in my self-watering container garden. It is easy to use and allows roots to have some room, and makes for lighter containers to move around.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

used to refill my earthboxes and pots

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this before in my self-watering deck pots. It saves a lot of time and water hauling on my upper deck. Just fill the pot reservoir and the soil wicks up the water. I did find out that after about 3 years, it seemed to stop being as effective. I will be replacing it all this year. (Should be changed anyway I suppose!) It is also very lightweight and makes moving the pots very easy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We use this at a house that we can't get to all the time. It works well with the self-watering containers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Normally I would just run to a "big box" store for some dirt for windowboxes,but this time because I had a free shipping deal,I ordered the Self-watering container mix. I'm glad I did. It IS light(very important for big windowboxes) [...]

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I love this product and buy every year. Use this mix in all my containers - self-watering & regular. It mixes well and my plants grow abundantly and look beautiful! And the best part is I never have to worry about watering every day.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I buy this container mix to refill my containers every year. They work better than the potting soil available at the local garden shop. I plant greens in my containers and the mix has made my efforts a success. The soil doesn't clump like some of the other mixes do.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

For as long as I've known about your catalog, and that is probably over 10 years, I've used the seed starting mix along with your APS seed starting kits. I have nearly 100% success rate, and if something doesn't come up, it is the seed, not the mix. I've referred this seed starting mix to anyone who shows an interest in seed starting.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I love this soil for my self-watering containers. I tried to get away with regular potting soil last season, and the weight caused some warping and cracking of my deck rails. I've switched back to this soil mix, and so far so good!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this self watering mix in window boxes on potting shed that is in shade all day. In the past, flowers were small and poor blosoms due to too much water or not enough water. This mix with the container produced beautiful flowering plants. The same type of plants used in previous years that did fair to poor in growth.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Window boxes and hanging baskets

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Seems to work OK in my hanging pots.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the third time I've purchased this product, so you can assume that it apparently works for me. I mainly use it in my outdoor containers, but I have when out of my usual starter mix sown seeds in ti and had excellent results. A very good product overall.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I really like how it is light weight - I can actually move the pots with soilin them. Plus the plants have a friable soil mix that holds water well without drowning - I use it with the water wells - fantastic for here in the SW.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Started planting vegetables a year ago, this year I added herbs to my repertoire. This soil is great! Provides better aeration and it has a airy texture to it. I use it in the 2 tier cascade planter item #37-531. It works well so I bought an additional 6 bags and bought 3 more tiered planters. What does that tell you?

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Holds new planting upright even as you are watering them in. Love that it holds moisture so I don't have to water EVERY day even during July and August heat.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have 10 of the self-watering window boxes, and this soil makes my plants very happy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Using it in the AquaSav Liners. So far my plants look great!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this soil the first year I purchased my window boxes and had beautiful, lush flowers. The following year I used regular potting soil with not so great results. This is the only soil I use now.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this in my patio containers to grow tomatoes. Works great.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I order this plant mix every year - I can count on it to maintain moisture in the self-watering window boxes. I only have to water once a week!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have two outdoor self watering containers.
This is the 2nd year ordering this continer mix. Very pleased the 1st year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product is absolutely wonderful. I recently moved to a home with a larger yard and now I am able to really expand my "gardening horizons"! I mixed this with a few other seed starting products such as peat and pearlite. I love the feel, the smell, the look of this mix. Last week I started a few seeds that have already germinated. I will tell all my gardening friends to please purchase this self watering mix. My first order was 5 bricks but I liked it so much I placed a second order for TWELVE bricks. I'm a happy lil' gardener. Thank You Much

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I think this is absolutely the best container soil. I use it in all the self watering containers I have, plus in traditional containers. It doesn't contain a lot of "junk" ingredients like sticks or big pieces of wood or other materials; it doesn't compact in the container. Plants seem to thrive better with this "dirt". I have tried other container soils and they do not hold a candle to this.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have 10 hanging flower pots that I fill with flowering plants from Spring to Frost. The self watering container mix helps the flowers last longer throughtout the season between waterings and longer in the season.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I love this soil. I'm spoiled now. Every year I buy my batch [...]

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Wonderful stuff. I have used it previously for vegetables in the self-watering containers and got fantastic results. I'm trying it now for bulbs- I'm feeling pretty good about it!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Perfect for self watering planters for New England summers. Lasts three months. Length of plant life. I have 22 planters along my fence and use one bag per planter. My plants grow so beautiful and fast.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I regularly used this for vegetables and herbs with amazing results. This year I planted some impatiens in this container mix and planted some in a standard bagged mix from a nursery. The impatiens in the standard mix from the nursery are very leggy and nearly gone for the year (it's an unusually wet January), but the impatiens in this container mix are in full, spectacular bloom. I'm ordering more for my hanging baskets.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have two desk sunlights. I need lots of pots to grow seeds, but I have no time water them. The self-watering pots solve the problems. I use the pots to grow indoor leafy vegetables, such as Chines broccoli.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I mix this with garden soil and use in all of my 42 hanging planters,of,tomatos,peppers,eggplants,squash,and cues.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Saved many plants this summer. Used it in all of my self watering planters outside. Only had to water once or twice a week- even with the terribly hot weather!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I brought my self watering pots indoors this year and I am the only one who remembers to water them. This soil keeps them going when I am not around to manage them.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have been using that product in the (this years) veggie bed. My seedlings came up very early (two weeks yesterday) and grow nicely. I like this product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I live in the woods and have never been able to grow vegetables on our land that weren't immediately eaten by moles, gophers, deer and the occasional bear.
Now I grow in self watering containers on my deck and have had three summers of tomatoes, lettuce, chard, carrots and herbs with little work and delicious results.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My sister is a master gardener---I only plant herbs and a few tomatoes and peppers.I purchased the 2 tiered self-watering planter and only one sack of self-watering container mix. In one tier I used the self-watering mix and in the other a moisture mix I had purchased at [...]. To my surprise---the self-watering was MUCH better and drained well. The other mix did not. So I ordered more self-watering mix.I like my planter so much I just ordered one for my sister's birthday. Save yoursself the trouble---go ahead and order the mix too----it's worth it.Mary Elkins

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this for years in my self-watering window boxes and pots. I have also ,at the end of the growing season, added it to my garden soil or kept it over the winter and reused it the next season by adding "Container MIX Booster" .

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I've used other mixes meant for containers, but they don't compare to this one. This mix is extremely light weight, and quickly absorbs water from self-watering containers. The plants in my window box have thrived in this mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I recently planted a mandevilla in a potting mix that was not Gardner's Supply's self-watering container mix thinking how much difference would it make? Wrong! Planted next to a mandevilla with Gardener's container mix looks like a tv commercial. Gardener's pot has a beautiful healthy mandevilla that only needs watering every 2 weeks and the one with another mix looks sickly and needs watering every couple of days. They are hanging side by side on my patio and it's hard to believe the difference. I've learned my lesson to make the effort to only use Gardener's container mix if I want my plants to survive and grow well. In the San Gabriel Valley in California we can get extreme cold temperatures and very hot temperatures.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil is definitely a lighter texture than classic potting soil. I have it in my self-watering potters holding the herbs who like un-soggy soil. I've only been using it for a month or so. Here's to hoping it works as it's supposed to. :)

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use the product in the potato bags and in earth boxes with kgood success. I've added water retaining crystals for the soil used in the potato bags and have been pleased with the results.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It's a bit expensive but it goes a long way. I also mix this with my own mixture of potting soil when planting vegetables in pots.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It is so light that I would recommend mixing it with 50% regular potting soil

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am so glad I ordered this mix to plant the wonderful self-watering planters I had also ordered. I don't think any other soil would have worked.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

especially helpful this hot and dry summer

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

use of this product produced best hanging tomato plant I've grown.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My other potting soil got moldy and mildewed, even in unopened bags, before I got my container garden planted, so, this will eliminate that problem, plus I am also now using the self watering conversion kits in the containers.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Purchased to use with self watering container conversion kits for large patio containers. I converted all my outdoor containers. My plants did not do well in the regular potting soils I was using, and, either were dried out or drowned out in our summer heat this summer.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use it in window boxes, tomato planters any container. It has great water retention, and excellent texture. Water retention can make planters very heavy and hard to move.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this in your great window boxes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

When used with the Drip It Water, my house plants are growing very well. Houseplants and I do not always work well together, but with this mix they are thriving.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Seen this for several years in the catalog. Thought it was a bit pricey but when I purchased one it was on sale and am I ever glad I bought it! My other pots on my front porch and entryway to the walkway always have to be looked after every couple of days. Not my self-watering planter. Flowers look fresh and vibrant, not wilty or struggling to stay alive.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this for all my window boxes, herb gardens.. everything. It's high quality and will continue to keep buying it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have 9 self-watering window boxes, and have used this in all of them. I've ready reviews that other potting mixes used in the self-watering planters tend to hold too much water, killing the plants. This mixture is very light and holds just enough water the keep my plants looking great, even in this very hot, dry northeast summer.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil retains water and keeps my plants from drying out.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this for all my large plants, vegetables and herbs. It saves me time watering and I will always repot with this soil.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Yes, I could have purchased dirt anywhere locally. and I could have used soil from my yard but living in the desert southwest doesn't make that a prudent choice due to its poor quality and lack of organic supplements. After reading other reviewers who'd done the same thing and were surprised at the quality and pleased with the end result. I decided to give it a try. Additionally, soil like this is about the same price locally as it was through Gardener's Supply online. It's terrific stuff, works great with my intended use, tomatoes, eggplants & peppers. I also used it in my Grow Camp raised garden. The seeds and plants placed in this soil grew faster and are visibly stronger as a result!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Plant do really well when grown in this product. Lightweight and great for hanging planters.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Light and airy. Easy to mix with water and transfer to container.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the best in any container....you have a wonderful ,healthy plant all summer long that thrives....we love it

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought this last year for the first time when I bought 8 Revolution Planters. I loved it, but last year the blight and rain produced nothing. I washed the revolution planter bags, and bought more Self Watering soil this year and my tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are looking beautiful. I am so excited about this years growth. I find that I fill the reservoir with water and it just waters them slowly and my plants are looking great this year. I will purchase more next year and may start switching to the NEW Revolution Planters next season. I like the new design to get the plants in the planters. Anyway, I really love growing things up-side down, and I have 2 4X4 posts that I cemented in at the edge of my garden, which holds my 8 Revolution planters and I will continue to have them every year. I have vines growing around the posts and it looks really nice. I love them.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I purchased two new self-watering containers for my deck this season and used this soil in those containers. I had used the same mix in my old self-watering planters from last year but had not replaced it with new. The flowers in the new containers are twice the size and had twice the blooms. Wow. I guess next year I won't be so cheap and I will replace all the soil in the planters as recommended.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used this in our Self-Watering window boxes we bought from Gardener's Supply. We LOVE the window boxes and this soil mix worked PERFECT! Never a problem. We used this at our beach house where we do not live full time. Our flowers always were watered. When gone for extended periods of time, it was very simple for our neighbor to keep our plants watered. Very little monitoring needed.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this product in the self-watering window boxes and it has worked beautifully, even when we were away for a week during 90 degree weather.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought a bag of the self watering container mix just to try it. I'll never plant my flowers in anything else again. The mix is light weight, retains water and my flowers are beautiful.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The bag of dry soil is light enough to carry to your work area and has holes to allow easy mixing with water before putting it in the container.
It would help if the description of each container or use would specify how many bags of soil are needed.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have containers which sit alongside my cement driveway all day in the hot sun. I used to have problems with them drying out even if I watered them every morning and every evening. With my Gardeners Supply self-watering pots and this container mix, that concern is gone, and I don't even have to water every other day. This mix works beautifully with the self watering pots and my plants grow much faster than in tradtional pots, even when filled with brand name "moisture control" potting mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My plants make my neighbors green with envy. The self watering planter and self watering container mix are very gardener friendly. I can hardly wait until spring each year to order and get my fingers in this rich, lightweight mix!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good product

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I purchased 9 of the self-watering window boxes and this mixture to put in them. My plants are doing very well with minimal care. On the advice of the great Gardener Supply people, I waited for about a week after planting and then added some mild liquid plant food to the soil. I've read comments from others that purchased the window boxes that they were having problems with them draining poorly. I'd highly recommend using this soil, as even after days of rain, my boxes and plants are doing great.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

my flowers are beautiful. flowers never dry out. only need to fill container 2x/week.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It works very well for the self-watering containers. I have not liked the small square plastic self-waterers. They get too wet. The indicator for the water level is the best in them. The large square self-watering container also gets too wet. The rectangle trough is the best in the plastic ones. The teak self watering squares are great for my blueberries. They are on the deck to protect the berries from the birds. I was unable to get the upside down cylinder planters to work very well. I don't know how much water to give them.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

VERY EASY TO USE

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My flowers look much healthier in my self-watering window boxes when I use this type of soil mixture. I only water once a week and they look great.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We only use this soil in our self-watering containers,

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this product in two self-watering planters at our out-of-state campsite. The plants have been "on their own" for as long as three weeks without getting any water other than rainfall, and they bloomed all last summer. The container mix kept the moisture at a good level, without drying out too much or becoming saturated.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I tried this product and also purchased container mix locally. I think this product is superior. It was easy to handle (I fill my containers by hand.) and mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It was a bit messy to mix up with the water.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am using this soil in your hanging planter . seems to be working and the tomato plant looks healthy .

GROWS THE GREATEST TOMATOES POSSIBLE, ANY VARIETY

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good stuff

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good for window boxes

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

If not for the self watering containers and the special soil for the containers I would never achieve the color I want from annuals that face the Maine coastal winds in the summer.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have purchased this to use in self watering containers for 2 yrs. now and been very happy with the results. Plants stay healthy, don't get water logged. Trying in my tomato planters this year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil soaked up the water so well that within a very short time I was able to begin filling containers and begin planting.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the best potting soil I have used, whether in the self-watering containers or just regular flower pots. It has a great water-holding capacity, so the soil stays moist but not soggy. Even a very large pot filled with the soil and plants is easy to carry and move around unlike other potting soil mixes.

I had previously ordered the self-watering planters but did not use until beginning of June along with the potting soil. We were gone for eight days and the TN summer weather was hot, also rainy. Upon our return home we were delighted to see that the plants and my hubby's vegetables in pots looked wonderful in spite of the heat and amount of rain that occured while we were gone. Very pleased with all products I have purchased from Gardener's Supply. These self watering devices are a great idea, best since sliced bread. Staff at Gardener's Supply are always pleasant and very helpful. Thank You.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Perfect for my hanging baskets of fuchsias & cyclamen.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use it every year when planting my self-watering container boxes. Regular potting mix just doesn't work as well, as I found out once when I used a substitute.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Great for herbs.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

An excellent product!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Wonderful stuff, makes it easier to grow plants and not have to worry so much about watering.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is a perfect soil mix for your self-watering planters. As a beginning gardener I appreciate the simplicity of using the mix in the planters.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I've tried other soils which claimed an ability to hold on the water but haven't been happy with them. They tend to compact more than this soil. This soil works great in the self-watering pots and in regular pots as well. All of my plants that are potted in this soil are doing well. I've decided to use it exclusively when I repot.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

wonderful mix would recommend it for all types of growing needs

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I started growing plants with your potting mix and I LOVE IT.
The vegetables seem to do much better
than I expected.The potting mix is GREAT for containers.

I used the planting mix for a mixed bedding plant hanging pot and a pot with a hanging basket begonia.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We bought this soil last year. Our flowers thrived

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product is incredible. Light and airy and it's perfect for the self-watering planters. We wouldn't use another product. Excellent!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I am not a beginning gardener, but I am gardening more than I used to. The self watering container mix has worked very well for me in all my containers. I have a tendency to not water frequently enough, and this mix seems to keep the plants in good shape... I have been very pleased with this planting mix over several years of use..

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this mix in the self-watering window box. It works really well and holds a lot of water. I have had similar mixes that work really well, and this is every bit as good. I think it would work very well in pots also.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This mix went from the bag to the upside down tomato planters I purchased from this site. It has allowed the tomato plants to explode - just planted on Mother's Day & less than 1 month into the planting, I have numerous flowers & a few baby tomatoes already. The mix keeps the roots hydrated & allows for easy expansion of the entire root system throughout. It is light, which is a good thing because when the planters are assembled & full, they weigh ALOT. I will use this mix next year, the year after, etc.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this product in two containers. Each one has a different vegetable plant. This is the third year using this mix and I have encountered no problems. The yield from the plants have been good.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this soil for tomato growing and flowering plant containers. Easy to use. All around wonderful product.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This soil has a high content of sphagnum moss, making it perfect for the self watering window box and a hanging plant pot we are using it in. It holds water without drying out quickly, and nicely wicks water from the self-watering reservoir of the window box.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Nice lite airy mix

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

We use this mix with our Tomato Success Kit that I also got from Gardener's Supply last year. It really is foolproof.

Best mix I've found for self-watering containers.

This is the first time I used this product. The hanging tomoates love it as do the herbs.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Works well in your hanging baskets, but also works well to lighten heavy clay when transplanting or planting new plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this soil for upside down tomato planting the past 2 years and it has proven to be very good for this purpose.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My tomato loves it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is great for container gardening. I used it to plant vegetables and herbs in self-watering containers and grow bags. Initially I used my own mixture of soil, manure, perlite, fertilizer and peat moss in the grow bags, but my mixture was just too heavy to move around once it was in the containers. The container mix is a perfect blend and it's light weight. It's worth the price.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

pretty spendy for the amount that you get in an order. perhaps the bags could be a little bigger.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Was very mussy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Good mix for containers

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

A great mix for self-watering potted plants and it's easier to use if you don't forget to add the water to moisten the mix before you put it in the pots.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This Container Mix is wonderful. It has been raining in San Francisco about 50% of the time since I planted my plants in this Mix in February. I was sure they would die from too much rain but the mix in the self watering window boxes has kept them in great shape.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Nice smell and absorption

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I grow tomatoes in my tomato success kit and hanging tomato planters in it. Mixed with some good organic fertilizer, it's great! I can even lift the hanging tomatoes-the soil is so light. I had to move some last year due to the weather.

The only drawback I had was that one of the hanging kits grew some mold or fungus last year because we had a really wet, humid summer. I don't fault the Mix for that, though. It didn't grow it as bad as some of the other things I was using for plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Best potting soil I've ever used.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

USE IT IN MY PLANTER BOXES

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this mix with my new window boxes. It's light and airy AND the plants are growing much better then with regular soil. Do it right the 1 st time, saves you time !

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I put together my first self-watering container this year for my herbs. The soil drains very well and the plants are loving it. Now, if it would only warm up!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It worked well for the hanging tomatoes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use the self-watering container mix in two windowboxes that are attached to my porch railing. I have had these for several years, and each year I order the mix from Gardeners Supply because I know it will work well with the self-watering planters. I have seen other mix in stores that claim to do the same thing, but I would rather use Gardeners Supply's mix because it is tried and true. Once a week watering is all it takes. I recommend these containers and the container mix to all my friends who inevitably ask where I found such wonderful planters.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This potting soil is the lightest I have ever found! It also retains moisture better than the competition. Works great in the self-watering boxes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used the potting mix in the self-watering pots. Works well-all plants healthy after 3 weeks.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this soil-mix for just about everything. For some jobs, I'll enrich it with compost or add Osmocote so that the soil will provide nutrition.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Definitely a plus for my gardening efforts!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This is the best potting soil ever.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this product in the past. I have always had good luck with it. My upside down tomatos seem to thrive on it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

The bag was not too heavy--(I have arthritis and can't lift many products)
The plants seem "Happy "almost immediately

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have used this product in all my self watering pots and hanging plants. Had some left and when I spread it on my cucumbers they did better then those not included. Also like the fact that is isn't heavy until watered.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Purchased this for my hanging tomato's. Works as stated. So far the plants seem to be happy.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It takes a lot to get me to order potting mix through the mail. This is really the best for the self-watering containers and it's well worth it.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Am using this in my self watering containers on my deck and my herbs are healthy and producing abundantly. So easy to just walk out on the deck and snip off whatever herbs you need to add to you cooking each day.

This is the third year that I've used this product and will continue to use it to grow tomatoes and squash.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

what can i say...it's dirt. but it's good dirt and is going to help water retention

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I have purchased 5 self-watering troughs from you, and several converters. We didn't have quite enough soil, so used some of the soil I would normerly use in the converted pots. The difference between the soils is extremely apparent - the vegetables in the troughs with your special soil are noticeably bigger and healthier.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This container soil or mix I order every spring at least 20 bags.I have big containers that are self watering and this soil works great.If I could buy it by the load I would.The flowers,house plants and tomatoes grow their best in this soil. I'v been using it for the last 4yrs and wouldn't use anything else now.

Helps my plants take off!

The plants we grow in this mix grow so much better than those in regular pots with regular soil mix!!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Just started using this. Works great in self watering containers...really holds the moisture. Nice texture, easy to work with.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I've used the container mix for several years for self-watering containers. It works much better than normal potting soil, but it costs more. I figure it is an investment since you don't have to replace the mix each year. I use worm compost to refresh my mix each year.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I used this last year in my tomato tree and I had plenty of tomatoes. Plan on using it again in my tomato tree.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product was easy to use and the perfect mix for both strawberries and tomatoes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I would recommend this soil for large planters, the soil is lightweight, does not compact as other commercial potting soils. With regular feeding the plants thrive.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

This product is wonderful! I get so many compliments when folks walk past our home with the beautiful flowers and plants coming from this soil! I am sold on this product!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Our tomatoes couldnt be better. Its the soil in our tomato planter.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I bought the kit for hanging tomatoes and wasn't sure I should buy this product because I figured I could use any planting soil. I'm glad I changed my mind! Although my tomatoes are only a few weeks old, I already have fruit on their way! I have NEVER had this much success with tomatoes!

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

My container plants tend to dry out and so far this mix seems to be keeping things moist. I will know better how it holds up as the days get hotter.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Just as easy and MUCH less expensive to combine a light garden mix and "Miracle Gro" and some styrofoam pellets. Does the same job for a fifth of the price.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It was wonderful to have the proper soil at the ready for planting in my new window boxes. The soil is perfect for the window boxes and made life just that much easier for me.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

I use this potting soil for my self watering containers for vegetables. The soil is of good quality, however, you can get local soil for less money.[...]

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

container plants are thriving, but amazingly, my roses have never been this happy -tried it w/ my spring regiment & the output has been nothing short of amazing! Delivery man thinks I'm nuts, tho'.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Wish I would have bought more.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Used your container mixes for several years now. Love the light weight! Plants have always done very well in it. Use it on the upside down tomato planter and the potato planters. Whatever is left goes into other planter boxes.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

Our summers are hot and dry. This soil mix used in the self-watering hanging baskets on my porch keeps the flowers blooming and healthy all summer.

Comments about Self-Watering Container Mix:

It does the job that it says it does. It is up to the gardener to monitor the hanging plants. This year I doubled my hanging tomatoes. I went from two to four. It is suggested to follow the suggestions to use with certain varieties.
