Expert Gardener Garden Soil for In-Ground Plants, 2 cu. ft.

Product is basically composted shredded tree trash and other bio mass and a 5-5-3 fertilizer boost. It is acidic so good as is for plants liking acid soil. Otherwise for veg or general use I add a fast acting lime. I buy that in 20 lb bags and add as need to sweeten soil for zukes and other calcium 'hogs.' (Trick: At first sign of cal. 'starvation' when blossom ends of baby zukes turn yellow/brown or bloom wilts 'funny' pour a handful of the cal. pellets into 2 gal watering can and fill at high pressure with hose inside to create plenty of swirl to 'melt' the pellets, and pour milky solution around base of zuke plant to saturate roots.) This product also can be used containers; add sand or perlite to soil first to aid drainage (I just mix in cont. before plant). You won't need more than a 1/2 cup of pellet fertilizer (I like WM Organic Veg with bact. wilt controls) per 3-5 gal. container for season, since comes with added fert. Note the soil has fairly big 'shreds' and tends to compact as settles so may 'fall' a couple of inches over season in container, but I've not had any complaints from flowers or tomatoes so far. FYI the all purpose companion plant is marigolds; I buy WM six packs and add one at transplant to baby sit my container starts. Marigolds are organic pest control; source of industrial pyrethrin fyi, and last most of season.

Great value, and I really like the huge bag of soil, and that it can be delivered to my door! I don't have to load it into my car, then worry about unloading it again, Walmart does all that for me! The delivery person even stacks it very nicely on my front porch, as directed by me in the notes, which I really appreciate! The soil grows nice plants flowers and veggies too.
