Can I use this in place of potting soil?

No but mixing it with soil will reduce the need for watering. I have never tried using solely the beads other than for cut flowers.

it can it can be used just like peat moss in place of soil. It can be used and reused say in pots or containers. I mixed it with my soil because I have clay and it helps to break up the clay and keeps the nutrients and moisture in. I highly recommend it.

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

I use it primarily as part of my soil mix for my bonsai pots. Although rinsing in water is not necessary, I do it anyway as it looks better. Anyway, I add to the soil mix the grit I like as well as other elements, like turface, decomposed granite, etc.

Yes, please put it in a bigger pot right away, not because it needs it but because adding fresh soil is always better to the plant. Also this needs a bit of acid soil as well and what I did is to combine half regular potted soil and half coffee grounds. I hope this info will be helpful to you.

Technically, I don't see why not, but don't know what purpose it would serve. This mix is full of the little bacteria that live in soil to break down decaying matter. So we put it in our composter to make the stuff in our composter turn into soil. So while it won't harm soil, I don't know how it would help?Just my opinion.

I am using miracle grow potting soil and any supplements would burn it. I'm sure it is good. Have had good luck with that

I dont see why not. I mix it in with all my potted plants! Just mix it with your regular potting soil. The amazing thing with this chicken poop compost is, it doesn't smell and is quite lovely.

You can use this soil for desert rose plants. They prefer good drainage so you might want to mix in a little more sand into the soil to make the mix coarser so that it will drain faster.

Wouldn't be a bad idea although I lined mine with landscape fabric (bottom and up the sides) and put 2" of pea pebbles (not gravel) in the bottom before adding soil. It's gorgeous and works for me!

You could probably use them but I didn't have any good luck with mine in miracle garden soil. Good luck. In the past I have always had very good luck with Miracle Grow products.

I would use organic sphanagan peat moss mixed with ready to use potting mix

I would do that but using small stones on bottom so there is some drainage for the soil to avoid saturation.

You can use it however you want. I have the 75 peat pot green house this year. I've got 2 of them on my shelving unit with a heat mat and grow lights for my tomatoes and peppers. It's working great!

Thinking your soil is sandy, I would not add potting soil to the miracle gro but perhaps add garden soil or better yet more moisture control such as perlite. If your soil is on the clay side, I would add sand and garden soil maybe 1 to 2 ratio. Hope this helps!

I don't think it would be necessary but if it is a mild mix, you "can". Myself, I'm not a fan of chemical fertilizers, at ALL... ever.

While you can use a general potting mix like this, you may want to consider using a soil formulated for succulents, such as Miracle-Gro Cactus, Palm and Citrus Soil.
