Packaging and Handling

Our potting mix is hand-packed in a bag with a reusable tie for convenient storage after opening.

If the mix dries before use, moisten it to help prevent dust from forming. Avoid inhaling dust from rock or potting soil products, as it may irritate the lungs, especially for people with sensitive respiratory systems.
