Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this seed starting mix for exceptional performance. Most report rapid seed germination and vigorous, healthy plant growth, often faster than competing products. Reviewers consistently highlight the ideal balance of moisture retention and light, airy texture thanks to coconut coir—staying damp without becoming soggy. Many appreciate the organic, peat-free formula requiring no additional mixing. A few mention packaging inconveniences or find the price slightly high, but these concerns are rare. Overall, customers strongly recommend this mix for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Back to the roots organic 3-in-1 seed starting mix. For starting all seeds and cuttings. Coconut coir for enhanced moisture. That drains well without out separating.

Good, but could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an avid fruit and vegetable gardener. Unfortunately, I am getting a late start on the fall garden, so I'm opting to start some of veggies in cells and others direct sown to protect against pest losses. I was excited to try out a new seed start mix as I haven't found one that I love enough to commit to. Unfortunately, I still haven't. Pros: the consistency of the composted material is soft, moist, and appears a nice deep, rich color. The bag itself is sized nicely for a serious gardener. I could get a full spring/summer of indoor started seedlings from 1 bag. There is supposed to be added plant food, but I haven't been able to see my plants grow enough to see what difference that makes. Cons: The bag is really thin. I was concerned my 4 year old would accidently tear it just having his toys contact the package. The greatest con though is there was a lot of large, uncomposted sticks and woodchip pieces. This is completely unnecessary. I guess I could toss them in the garden, but 3 inch long sticks don't even fit in my seed start cells, even if I wanted to use that. I won't be purchasing this in the future unless I see that my seedlings grow fabulously well.

Fantastic organic mix—super soft, holds moisture well, and great for healthy roots!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this seed starting mix for potting my indoor plant, and the quality is fantastic! The texture is very soft, light, and nicely aerated without any heavy chunks or unpleasant smell. You can clearly feel that it holds moisture really well while still providing great drainage, which is perfect for delicate roots. It feels very clean, rich, and easy to work with. Highly recommend this organic mix to anyone starting seeds or repotting their houseplants!

Quick Germination

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed using this seed starting mix. It allowed for quick germination of a seed I had. I appreciate that the mixture contained coconut coir, as it allowed for even watering and water retention. I’ve had luck germinating seeds with only coconut coir, so it was a great addition. I haven’t tried seed starting with other plants yet, but looking forward to it.
