Yes this mix has beneficial microbes that help the plant absorb nutrients better. I use this soil mixed with a cheaper starter mix to use less of the espoma soil

I started mine in a pot. Mainly because we are in an apartment. These seeds have a great germination rate and they sprout quick. I don't think they'll have an issue stating in the ground. :-)

You are not supposed to mix them. They are complete individually. If you are transitioning between grow and bloom, you could use 1/2 the amount of each to get a mix of the two

I'm going to have a pot in the garage filled with some potting soil/dirt combo and add it to that over the winter. Don't know if it will work, but worth a shot! I have been using the "tea" for the indoor plants. I guess it will be a lot of trial and error!

I do not use this in the garden as I have billions of earthworms naturally. I use castings as part of my "recipe" for potting soil mix and germination mix. It is suggested to use 1/3 castings in your mix, and so far that has worked really well for me. My plants love it and I have not seen any sign of burn or nitrogen flash-growth. It has been especially helpful with germinating seeds because it has a natural anti-fungal property that helps baby sprouts, something I have always struggled with in my greenhouse. I suppose, if you wanted to put it in your garden, say in raised beds, I would go with 1/4 to 1/3 of whatever mix you're using.

I might put another container inside these if you are primarily going for the look, but they really are pretty small. A round 2" pot would be okay, but really for your herbs to get big enough to cut, you'd definitely need a larger container. I have not tested these to see if they are water tight.

They can grow the pot they are plantedin,but for optimum results it is best to put them in a larger pot.I recommend a growing medium of peat with a small amount of river sand. I usually go with a 3 to 1 ratio with the higher number being the peat.

The soil is heavier than potting soil so it is not optimal for pots and planters. Seeds may grow but there may be issues with drainage. Also pots are hard to move with heavy soil in them. I am using it in the garden; I re-ordered potting soil for the planters.

Skimming the ingredients I see lots of herbal things. I don't know about pot. I just know it works well and smells wonderful.

Buy the concentrate and use as much as you need, then rinse out your sprayer, don't keep mixed product. We have saved the concentrate and used that year to year with no problem. Just keep it where it won't freeze and thaw. Last year was terrible for hydrangeas and even wilt pruf didn't save the buds when we had prolonged very cold weather early spring. Let's hope for a better year. Christine and Richard

I haven't used this for planting yet but ready many reviews before I ordered and it sounds like the perfect mix for herbs and greens. I plan to use for microgreens and can't wait to get them planted later this month.

I just got the herbicide yesterday, & I'm reading the directions now. It clearly states to NOT mix oil & water as it apparently affects the efficacy. So, I suppose, you need to choose using one or the other.

I bought 2 of these boxes. We planted a variety of herbs in one, and mums in another. Both are growing well.But I don't know how veggies would do. Sorry.

Yes, only for individual potting for you pond. I use pots that are design for ponds then I line the pots with weed barrier that is used for vegetable gardens. Then fill with aquatic plant media.

This particular box does not come with the potting mix. If you have free shipping, you can purchase the "ready to grow" kit. It includes the potting mix.

The potting mix is formulated to absorb and release water as your container plant needs it. The soil will provide moisture to the plant, even when it is not watered as regularly as it might be.
