This all-purpose mix is designed for above-ground (Raised Bed) and in-ground planting of edible plants, flowers, & landscaping.

Raised beds are typically used outdoors and can be used for both raised bed and in-ground planting. For indoor use, try Back to the Roots Indoor Potting Mix or All-Purpose Potting Mix.

Our Raised Bed & Garden Soil uses Yucca Extract – an organic and natural ingredient that helps your soil stay hydrated for your plants. It’s the same natural chemical that can be found in desert yucca plants that helps those plants stay healthy during long periods of drought.

Peatlands are some of the world’s largest naturally occurring carbon sinks and are crucial in our fight against climate change! Read more about Peat here. That’s why we’ve launched the first nationally available PEAT-FREE mix.

In a Raised Bed or Container:
A 4 square foot raised bed at 12" depth needs ~ 3 bags of Back to the Roots Soil. Scale as needed.

In-Ground Garden or Landscaping:
Pour 3" of Back to the Roots Soil on top of your native soil. Mix into the top 6 inches of native soil.

Good plant growth is a mix of the right watering, the right light, and the right nutrients. This Soil gives you a great start, but you should always plan on adding more organic fertilizer about one month after transplanting, or after your seeds grow their second set of leaves. Our Back to the Roots All-Purpose and Edibles Plant Food is 100% organic, contains root-boosting mycorrhizae to promote strong root growth, and is made without any synthetic chemicals or animal waste from big factory farms.
