Packaging and Storage

Our potting mix is hand-packed in bags with a reusable tie, making it easy to store any unused material.

If the mix dries before use, lightly moisten it to help prevent dust from forming.

Dust Safety: Dust from rock and potting soil products should not be inhaled and may irritate people with sensitive lungs. Handle carefully and avoid creating airborne dust.
