For Your Raised Bed and Container Gardens

Gardner & Bloome Organics Raised Bed & Potting Mix comes ready to use, perfect for raised bed and large container projects. The slightly woody texture adds the ideal combination of porosity and moisture retention to the soil, while additional coir and peat moss offer increased water-holding capacity, making it great for container gardens too.

The mix is enriched with organic fertilizers including composted chicken manure, kelp meal, and bat guano. The combination provides both an immediate nutrient release for newly planted crops and an extended release that keeps the soil healthy through the growing season.

How to Use Raised Bed & Potting Mix

  1. For New Raised Beds: Fill your raised bed directly from the bag. One 2 cu. ft. bag fills a 4 sq. ft. bed about 6 inches deep. Water thoroughly before planting.
  2. For Containers and Potted Plants: Fill your container straight from the bag, leaving about an inch at the top for water. One 2 cu. ft. bag repots 5 to 7 one-gallon plants.
  3. For Seasonal Refresh: Add two to three inches on top of your bed each spring and mix into the top four inches with a hand cultivator.
  4. Feed Through the Season: Pair with Gardner & Bloome Organics Rose & Flower Fertilizer, Tomato, Vegetable & Herb Fertilizer, or Paradise All Purpose Fertilizer.

Key Benefits:

Open the Bag, Fill the Bed

No mixing required. Designed for raised beds and containers to be ready as soon as it leaves the bag.

Water Less Often

Added coir and peat moss hold moisture, so raised beds and pots don’t dry out as fast in the heat.

Strong Start, Long Feed

Composted chicken manure, kelp meal, and bat guano nourish the plant from day one and keep feeding over time.
