Black Gold Natural & Organic Potting Soil is specially formulated to maintain your plant’s delicate natural balance. A multi-purpose blend that’s ideal for all plants, including houseplants, patio containers and hanging baskets.
Black Gold Potting Soil is regionally prepared and includes screened earthworm castings, Canadian Sphagnum peat moss and perlite to ensure excellent pore and air space. OMRI Listed for use in organic production.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Step: 1: Select a container just large enough to line the bottom with 2-3 inches of Black Gold and still have room to cover the root system. Partially cover the drain hole with rocks or pieces of broken clay pot, and then add those 2-3 inches.
Step 2: Carefully remove the plant from its old home and gently brush the old soil from its roots.
Step 3: Place the plant in its new container. Add potting soil covering the root system to the same level as it was in its old pot, or so that its root system is completely covered and the base of the stem is not.
Step 4: Firm soil around the plant by pressing gently with your hands. Water thoroughly, allowing the excess to drain out the bottom and add more soil, if needed.
Step 5: Enjoy!

I’ve used Black Gold potting soil in the past with satisfaction, but this year (2013) the material out of the bag seemed to have too much and too many too coarse chunks of bark and more vermiculite than I remember. Tomato plants are not really growing well in it. Wetting is uniform only by drenching, which is detrimental to the plants.

Available everywhere (especially here in the Pacific northwest), usually priced right around $11 for the big bags you see stacked outside at the local retailers. And with OUTSTANDING & CONSTANT quality in every bag. This is a great company that puts out excellent soil products for the home gardener. While one could surely spend more money while shopping for bagged soils, you can't get any better quality than you get in every bag of Black Gold. Thumbs up!!

Good, rich soil. It comes in a smaller bag, which is great for me because I only have a few houseplants. Good price, great ingredients, and it's organic.
