DIY Potting Mixes

Last Modified April 17, 2017 By Staff Writer

One of the biggest mistakes new gardeners make is choosing the wrong potting soil. Because soil is so crucial to a plant’s growth, it’s no surprise that making a mistake here can be devastating. It doesn’t help that figuring out what type of potting soil is best can be a confusing process. With all of the commercial options available, it’s hard to know what ingredients are best or if they’re safe, or if making your own potting soil is a better option.

Key Takeaways:

  • Soil is so crucial to a plant’s growth. It’s hard to know what ingredients in commercial options are best or if they’re safe, or if making your own potting soil is a better option.
  • The main goal of a quality potting soil is to get the right amount of nutrients and water to a plant.
  • Making your own mix can mean the difference between nothing growing at all and a lush, vibrant garden full of life.

“There are plenty of low-priced potting soils on the market, but they’re low-priced for a reason: they usually don’t contain the best ingredients.”
