Back to the Roots Organic Indoor Soil Compressed Block Expands to 6 Quarts

What an amazing, functional product! Congratulations to whoever thought to make it. Rather than lugging a 20-lb. bag of soil home, I was able to conveniently have this lightweight package shipped to my door from Amazon. Small package to store in cupboard, and when you want to do some potting, you just add water and voila! You have a high-quality, nice-smelling lightweight blend of soil—easy to move from bag to pot by hand; no muss, no fuss. And great price for this convenience. Highly recommend!

When I first opened the box, I didn't know what to think. I'd never seen a "brick" of soil, and I didn't know what to put it in to restore it. I finally decided to try putting it into an empty popcorn tin and wetted it down. Wow! In just a few minutes, I had beautiful, functional potting soil. I took 3 tiny plants that I had been rooting in a small glass and planted them in a pot with an existing small rubber plant. The next morning, they were twice as large, and even larger the next day! I can't wait till Spring to repot all of my house plants!

Wonderful for my 🌱 plants 🪴. They are very healthy and green and beautiful after using this soil. ❤️🪴🌱✅

Love: Solid product. The indoor plants love it. It’s easy to work with and the instructions are clear. Stores nicely prior to opening due to its small size. Downside: Recommend having a bucket to store the remaining as it will not fit in its original bag (appreciate the limited used of plastic, though). Mixed feelings: Haven’t had luck with roses nor cedars from seeds, but the peas popped off.

I love having this kind of stuff on hand. Compared to bags of soil, this is easier to store and takes up a lot less space to store. Very low odor. Good value for money. One cube expands to three times its cube size. Handy to keep on hand. Uses alot of water to make the cube crumble into soil. Great for using gray water or rain water rather than valuable drinking water. Highly recommend. I use this kind of soil item to begin seeds or transplant plants.

Great for storage, needing a lot of dirt in something so small. The coconut dirt is interesting. However, no matter what I do, the soil seems to easily mold.

I was surprised at how much volume came from the block I received.

So convenient it is a small bag and light and just need to add water to it to get a good amount of soil. Great for indoor usage / apartment living if you don't have a lot of space to store a big bag of soil.
