Expert Gardener Potting Mix for Potted Plants, 8 qt.

I store my soil in a big plastic sealing container, like the plastic bins, but with a latchable top. This soil is equiped with perlite mixed in with natural fertilizers. I prefer to use this soil because I don't have to add my valuable nutrients right off the bat, because this soil comes fertilized, enough to hold over a freshly planted plant, indoors or outdoors, for a few weeks, and that's good for a young plant that can't consume the real big nutrients I buy on the side.

This soil gave me fungus gnats. I’m so upset because I’m dealing with a gnat issue. Couldn’t figure out where the issue was coming from but realized that every new potted plant where I used that specific soil had thee most gnats on the sticky traps I put in the soil. I wondered why my hallway light-bug catcher had so many gnats when there are No plants in my hallway. I finally open my closet door, where I had been storing the bag and see gnats on the bag! Immediately went into the incinerator room but now I have a fungus gnat issue to resolve. I’ve already purchase a set of bug catching plug-in draining my electricity 24/7 in 3 outlets! I had to use neem oil sprays and may have to repot all of those plants to get rid of the issue in the soil! A complete headache. And I’ve never had a pest issue in any of my plants. I’m so annoyed!
