This product is used for planting houseplants, patio pots, hanging baskets, vegetable starts, and seed germination.  We carry both the inorganic mix and the organic mix for your preference.  The inorganic mix contains a fertilizer “charge” that is not found in the organic product.  Both mixes come in quantities of 16 quart to 2 cubic foot bags.

Native Roots also carries Black Gold Cactus Mix for succulent growers.  Black Gold Cactus mix is quite coarse with bark and sand providing terrific soil aeration and drainage. It’s a great medium for anchoring cacti and works well when top dressed with small lava rock.

Black Gold Seedling Mix gives seeds an organic, uniform bed to germinate in.  Seedling Mix is a peat based product with perlite providing aeration and some nutrient and water holding capacity.  We like this particular mix because it does not crust over and prevent seedling emergence like some seedling mixes can.  You will have greater germination success using Black Gold Seedling Mix.

Fertilome potting mix is a sterile, uniform material that gardeners have relied upon for years.  Fertilome can be used for planting house plants, hanging baskets, patio pots, and vegetables.  It can be economically used as an amendment in vegetable and flower beds.  It is not available as an organic product.   Native Roots carries Fertilome potting soil in 10 quart to 3 cubic foot bags.

Metro Mix is a professional quality potting mix used by many greenhouse growers in the United States.  It is not peat moss based so therefore does not support fungus gnat life cycles.  Metro Mix is a coconut hull based product with vermiculite, sand, and a fertilizer starter “charge” added.  It can be used for potting house plants, patio pots, and vegetables.  Metro Mix is too heavy for hanging basket applications and it is not available as an organic product.  We carry a 2.8 cubic foot bag.
