Back to the Roots 25.7qt Organic Raised Bed Mix Premium Blend For Growing Edible Plants

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!

A: Hi there! Yes, you can use our Organic Raised Bed Soil for flowers as well as fruits and vegetables.

A: Hi Lauren! Our soils are made from processed forest products, coir, limestone, fertilizer, mycorrhizae, and moisture-balancing yucca. Depending on the soil bag, the organic fertilizers could have ingredients derived from milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, or soy. Please read through each soil bag's exact ingredients in case you have any allergies to any of these ingredients. If very severe, we'd recommend being careful using our soils & talking to a doctor first. All of our bagged soil has poultry litter, feather meal, and sulfate of potash. Our Organic Raised Bed Mix also has Gypsum to improve soil health. Please feel free to reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com with questions or concerns! We're here to help.

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.
