Do not buy!!

4 days ago
Do not buy. This mix is mostly perlite, sand and sticks. No actual usable soil to speak of. If you are new to seed starting you will be sorely disappointed.

Our soil might look and feel a bit different, but it’s designed to perform. Natural, peat-free ingredients like perlite, compost and bark are intentionally included in our mixes to improve aeration, hold water and add organic matter – all essential elements of healthy soil. Aeration is one of the most important factors in successful seed starting because seeds and young roots need oxygen to grow. We’d love to help you get the best growing results and encourage you to email us at growbettergardens@walkerind.com if you have any questions about our seed starter. growbetter-gardens

Buyer Beware!

So. Many. Gnats!!! If you’re going to purchase this product, I would suggest outdoor use only.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Discovering gnats is never pleasant, and we apologize for this. Our peat-free soils are made with composted ingredients that are rich in organic matter to support healthy plant growth. Because of this high organic matter, it can occasionally create conditions that fungus gnats are attracted to, particularly when conditions are warm and moist. Gnats are common and manageable with a little moisture control. To help prevent them, we recommend letting the soil dry out completely before watering and watering from the bottom once roots have established. Our soil is not your typical peat mix, and has different watering requirements that can take some getting used to. Check the soil moisture below the surface before adding more water. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention as we are continuously looking to improve. If you’re still experiencing issues, we’d be happy to help with additional tips or solutions. Please feel free to email us directly at growbettergardens@walkerind.com growbetter-gardens

Full of sticks.

5 days ago
Full of sticks ! And I dont mean the odd one. If this was potting/garden soil I wouldn't mind but when you have to pick out debris to fit in small potting trays what's the point. Wish I read the reviews before buying .

No, I do not recommend this product.

Terrible Mix

Full of chunks too big for a starter mix and grows a horrible crop of unwanted mushrooms. Definite no!

Questions

1 - 1 of 1 Question

Q: As pointed out by a company rep, the sticks, bark, etc. will eventually break down. Walker Industries, the parent of the product manufacturer could surely afford to wait for two or three more years to allow for further break down. Why didn't they?

  • A: I remain unconvinced. ALL seed starting mixtures contain wood fibre. The point is that yours contains an EXCESSIVE amount. Show us the studies, preferably peer reviewed, that back up your claim that it “performs the same or better than tradition peat mixes”.
