Ive been using this soil for the last 2 of my grows...when i first introduced this soil to my babies they loved it instantly. Growing ffaster, and looking greeners. im using it on my seedlings now and there doing great. Soil is very soft, nice and dark, very soil like not filled with unbroken down branches, and it has composted manure and worm castings already inside....i love it for the price, and its efficincy. I had a friend use it for a Chemical grow and it filled up with salt and turned hard. i never had that happen to me and i only grow all organic
