why isn't this potting soil considered organic

I don't know, but mine grew mushrooms, the poisonous kind completely ruining all my veggies I planted. Also a ton of bugs came with mine. I will not buy this ever again. You do what you will.

There is none, per se, because it's chemical-free; this is potting soil with earth worm castings, kelp, bat guano and many other NATURAL additives. It's pricey, but 10x better than any other potting soil I have used so well worth it.

No, it's not organic. They are very good to start seeds though. No nutrients in them. They are just like insulation they use in housing construction. Very good for hydroponics.

Good question! I did not see anything organization on their label that they made claim to. Perhaps you can call the company. I assume since it is grown wild that the word organic can be used instead of the strict requirements needed to use the labeling: "certified organic".

Because this is not Organic. Note the name of the producer is "Y.S. Organic Bee Farm". They do also sell the organic kind, just not this one. Quite misleading with the green label and all..

It'a a 12-4-8, made from standard mineral salts. It might work fine, but my objection is with the description: in no way does this qualify as an "organic" product. If you don't care, then try it. But it's not OMRI-approved. The sellers should remove any reference to "organic".

Yes there is. It includes organic potting mix and organic fertilizer. You can also get the EarthBox without these, and buy your own potting mix and fertilizer (saves a lot on shipping costs), but check out the EarthBox Forum (at www.earthbox.com) for advice on the appropriate ingredients. The potting mix requires the proper moisture-wicking properties, provided by certain materials such as sphagnum peat moss and/or coconut fiber (coir), so you can't just grab any old bag of potting mix or potting soil off the shelf of your local nursery.

The label did not specify if it's organic or not. This tells me it is not organic

Not sure. I do know it is all natural and organic. But that's a question to ask the farmers.

If they don't say "ORGANIC" then it probably isn't. Why would they leave that off the label? People looking for organic will pass by this one.

The label says that this product is a natural product: however, I do not know if this means organic or not.

It is more course than fine. It is mostly like other potting soil in appearance.But works much better.

I use it believing it is 100% organic. You might call the manufacturer to make sure.

I really doubt this is either organic or non-GMO. It doesn't say so, and would if it were true.

In some states organic compost material gets mixed up with chemical-based fertilizers. It is a shame. Check with the state Dept. of Conservation.

There is no claim on the packaging that this product is organic. So I don't think so.

The label says it is "natural." That has no meaning, legally. The label does NOT say it's organic, just fyi.
