Espoma 16-Quart Organic Potting Soil Mix

I'm an avid houseplant hobbiest, with almost 100 different (mostly tropical) plants. This soil has all the ingredients I wish for....with a few notes. First: it smells strong of healthy fertilizer...as in: manure. Not horrible, but definitely present. The smell does fade, but for indoor plant rooms, you will notice it at first. After a few hours, the smell will fade, and eventually disappear over the next few days. Open your soil box and the smell will still be there. It's not nasty, but does signify you are getting proper soil. In my plant cabinet, the smell lingers a bit. I mix this soil with Groundswell (also thru WalMart), as Groundswell tends to be heavy on the perlite side, and this soil is heavier on the coir. Groundswell takes a bit to dry out, Espoma dries out much quicker. Young plants and new transplants LOVE Espoma in my experience. Dragons Blood incense and Pepermint oil spray (for cleaning plant leaves and protecting a bit against pests) counterbalances the soil scent. Think: greenhouse smell
