This premium potting mix combines aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss, earthworm castings, bat guano, fish meal, and crab meal. This carefully crafted mixture creates an optimal environment for plant growth, providing essential nutrients, moisture retention, and aeration.

Key Ingredients:

• FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil contains aged forest products, adding rich organic matter to enhance its quality. This component provides a diverse array of nutrients, fostering a soil environment that supports robust plant growth.

Nutrient-Rich Composition

Foxfarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil stands out for its nutrient-rich composition. Bat guano, fish meal, and crab meal provide crucial macronutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—that are essential for robust plant growth and overall health. Earthworm castings contribute valuable microorganisms and organic matter to enhance soil structure, improve nutrient uptake, and create a thriving root environment.

pH Balanced for Plant Health

Maintaining the right pH level in your soil is crucial for the health of your plants. Foxfarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil is carefully pH balanced to fall within the ideal range for most plants, typically around 6.3 to 6.8. This ensures that your plants can readily absorb essential nutrients from the soil, preventing nutrient deficiencies and promoting optimal growth.

One of the keys to a thriving garden is proper moisture management, and Foxfarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil excels in this regard. Thanks to the inclusion of sphagnum peat moss, this potting mix retains moisture effectively while still providing good drainage. This balance is vital for preventing overwatering and root rot while ensuring that your plants have access to the moisture they need.

Improved Aeration and Root Development

In addition to moisture retention, this potting soil promotes excellent aeration and root development. The mixture of aged forest products allows for proper airflow and oxygenation within the root zone, preventing soil compaction and encouraging healthy root growth. Strong, well-developed roots are the foundation for vigorous plant growth and better resistance to stressors.
