Q: What is NPK of the Sta Green Potting Mix?
submitted by Linda - 8 months ago
A: Hi Linda! While we can't provide the exact NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) values for Sta-Green's Potting Mix, Back to the Roots Organic Raised Bed Soil has an NPK of 0.18-0.04-0.04. These numbers may seem low at first glance, but they're typical for organic fertilizers. Organic options are designed to be gentler, releasing nutrients slowly over time to support long-term plant health and reduce the risk of overfeeding. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at contact@backtotheroots.com — we're always happy to help!

Q: Is it okay/normal for this to be full of little mushrooms? I'm using it in buckets indoors for tomatoes.
submitted by Justme - 2 years ago
A: Hi Justme! Mushrooms are a sign your soil is biologically alive and healthy; you can pinch the tops off and throw them out, but it could signal that the growing conditions are too humid and moist. Please feel free to send photos to contact@backtotheroots.com, we would be happy to help you grow.

Q: I opened a bag today and it is almost all powder. The normal mix is the opposite of powder. Any ideas a)what happened, b)what it is and c)how to use it so it is safe to use for vegetable plants?
submitted by fhj52 - 2 years ago
A: Hi FHJ52! If you wouldn't mind sending a photo of your soil to contact@backtotheroots.com, we would be happy to have a look to see what's happening with your soil. If need be, we are happy to help with a refund or replacement.

A good, rich soil with great texture perfect for r
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product was packaged well without any rips or spilling. As soon as I opened the bag, I encountered a rich earthy aroma to the soil. The soil had a nice, heterogenous appearance. It had a moist, dark composition. It was very easy to manipulate and sift through. I’m using the soil in my raised garden bed where I am planting tulip bulbs for the winter. It is a good value, and I would get it again!

Easy to work with
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an easy to work with soil and I like that it has the mushroom in it which should hopefully help my plants thrive. Since it’s so cold out it will have to be used on a bigger scale this spring but for now- repotting all of my indoor plants for the winter. Hopeful they will thrive in this soil. Will revisit with updates

Perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this kinda late in the season (almost November) but thanks to obscene changes in climate due to fossil fuel abuse of the earth, our garden was still a little green. Having its last gasp of life, if you will. The products works great, and it’s never too late to add some nutrients to the soil, especially when it’s so close to the part of the season when everything dies and nourishes the earth anyway.

Perfect for all of your planting needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Plant girly. I love everything to do with gardening. So when I can test out a new raised bed mix I am all in. This mix is perfect for all of my planting needs. It doesn’t seem to attract any unwanted pests. I also love that the odor is not overwhelming like most mixes are. I store my soil in big plastic totes and it stayed nice and dry and did not clump up. This mix has a wonderful texture to it.

All naturaul!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brand. Their products are all natural and boost growth for vegetation! You can see the spores through the soil so it definitely maximizes nutrition. It’s very airy and light feel and even when the soil is pressed down it doesn’t compact the air flow for the roots to reach! It’s not a heavy soil, and doesn’t have bark so you’re able to have the soil form to the shape of the pot.

Super food for the food that we need.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superfood for my plants. Great for indoor little projects and things to do at home with kids. Easy to handle. Loose soil, easy drainage. Soaks water pretty quick and not too dense and voila my sprouts turned green so quick. I'm planting pink guava in little disposable cups. Next I will be doing herbs and veggies.

A lot of wood pieces
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product because I just bought some raised beds. The bag is huge and was very full of material. Upon opening it, there is an overwhelming smell of wood. I thought it was going to be completely soil, but it’s mostly wood pieces. I placed it in my raised bed and am hoping my blueberry bushes will grow well. I wish there was more soil content instead of mostly wood pieces.

Excellent soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This organic raised bed mix has been amazing for my garden. The texture is light, fluffy, and easy to work with, and my plants took off almost immediately after planting. Everything looks healthier and more vibrant, and the mix holds moisture well without getting soggy. I also appreciate that the pH seems well balanced, which makes it easier for herbs, veggies, and fruits to absorb nutrients and grow strong. It is peat free and includes plant food, yucca extract, and gypsum, which gives plants a great start. If you want strong growth and an easy to use soil for edible plants, this mix is a great choice.

I love this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed by this soil. I normally mix topsoil with compost, potting soil, seaweed and various other ingredients to create my raised bed mix. Living on the rocky coast of Maine, I have to supply the soil if I want to grow anything.

Nutrient dense and peat-free!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This raised bed mix ended up being way better than I expected. The texture is super nice, light, fluffy, and easy to work with. Can’t wait to see my herbs and veggies take off. The mix looks healthier than what I’ve used to grow in past years with other mixes. I also like that it’s organic and peat-free. I’d definitely buy it again.

Excellent soil for raised garden beds and starting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is amazing! I used it to plant celery seeds for a demonstration, and they sprouted in less than a week — even though the package said it could take up to 20 days. The mix is rich, holds moisture well, and clearly gives plants a great start. I’m very impressed with how quickly and healthy the seedlings came up. Highly recommend for anyone starting seeds or growing in raised beds!
