FoxFarm Happy Frog Potting Soil, 2cu ft - for Indoor/Outdoor Container Plants, Improves Root Efficiency, pH Adjusted for Optimal Nutrient Uptake - Contains Mycorrhizae and Humic Acids

It's a little pricey, but it's such a good potting soil that I just keep going back for more and more

Fox Farms has the very best soil in my opinion. It doesn't compact, drains perfectly, and doesn't need to be completely replaced every year which saves on money. So when you see the cost, remember that you only need a simple top dressing or a refresh of fertilizer. I have some that has been in pots for several years. If I replant those pots, I just turn the soil over, add option slow release fertilizer and am good to go. I love that it doesn't turn to concrete and that it isn't ground up pallet wood like a certain well known potting soil. The plants love it and so do I.

Love happy frog

I baught this on here because i wasnt driving to my nursery for a bag at 40bucks. It is very VERY light and yet still holds water nice if you live in dry warm climates you might want to add some small composted wood shavings to hold water. Or buy some other amendments. I start all my plants in this and plan to finish, WHen i transplanted my seedlings from a 16oz container into a 1 callon Resin molded contain they just exploded within a week i had new shoots and they just seemed to love the airy loam this provides. If growin peppers this is great on its own. Ph is good my run off is aroun 6.4. around 6 with nutes added. If growin say medicinal plants then i suggest adding in some Vermiculite or another water retentioner. i water when plants tell me too some of my conainers i placed on a tray because the heat will evaporate it in these hot summers. So the top will dry out within a few hours but get whisked up like a sponge. Amazing quality and one big bag. About the size of a large bag a of dog food.. I recomend this either as a stand alone or a key ingredient in a mixture. I prefeer to take this whole bag and add in about 4 parts vermiculite and sometime some composted sawdust or bark the bark for more acid loving plant. Im growin 8 varieties of peppers, 3 citrus trees and a few unmentionables.. What i did this time was take a bag of this fox farm happy from 2-cubic feet added fine mulch some composted grass and dead leaves and then added a bag for wormcasting. Havent fertilized once in 3 month and all green, ( Tip top your plant leads young they will form v then i top those to for another and then so on.) Once the canopy is established i skirt my up to about 6 inches and remove the lowest suckers. Happy Frog alone is good from start to finish but if added ammendments are use then you have a super rich soil that can last atleast 2 years in a container. IF you want to over winter or are rootbound i cut the bottom of the bucket add in another bucket i drill 4 holes in a square on one bigger one in the middle. I lay gravel or small rocks in the second one and fill 2/3s with Happy Frog and compost. I prune some roots and the tops and seperate some tangled roots and set it on the bucket, You could also just cut the bottom of the bucket dig a hole half the length and just set it in the ground., Spread some tomatoe feed which is mostly bone meal in the whole along with a pack of matches. You now have hybrid container garden and can easily chart, All in all this soil will do anything you want it to. Came in a big box with the bag iside. Happy gardening. Its march in MI and i have half my garden started already unde 200w CFL.

It seems like good potting soil but my purple tree collard cuttings are still dying.

Real nice and fluffy did wonders for my vegetable garden

It is beautiful soil. When you open the bag it is a fresh soil smell. It is unlike other soils I have purchased. It pots nicely and seems to retain the right amount of water.

Great price and product
