Espoma Organic Land and Sea Gourmet Compost with Lobster & Crab Meal; the Best of Both Worlds! Gourmet Planting Mix for Vegetables, Flowers, Trees & Shrubs. 1 Cubic Foot Bag

I grow almost all our veggies and herbs indoors in our large two room basement garden. I have been amending my potting soil with coco coir, perlite, and two sizes of vermiculite to increase water retention and drainage. Although I have looked into buying compost to add to my soil, I had not found one that I trusted for indoor growing until this one.To save on costs, I often re-use the soil when plants are disposed of. As for outdoor gardening, this means adding nutrients and enriching soil that had been used for previous plants. This compost is advertised as being all natural and containing endo and ecto mycorrhizae (two types of fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with plants to promote root and plant growth). All this sounds great, but, really, "the proof is in the pudding" so to speak.This compost is dry and light weight. I started adding it to my used soil and also to my amended potting soil. I have to say, the difference in the plants with this compost added is very noticeable. My tomato plants have been more productive, and the tomatoes have been larger. The zucchini plants produce more and larger fruits and the plants look very healthy. All of the plants producing veggie greens are large and healthy.Although this compost isn't inexpensive, it is well worth the costs considering the results. I do recommend this compost whether you are growing indoors or outdoors, and believe you will be pleased with the result you see in healthy, productive plants. I have included pictures of some of the plants I grow indoors, many of which are as old as 5 years.I hope this review was helpful for you.

Wonderful product for your garden needs. It is described correctly. Good price too.

Very good mulch for your plants.

This stuff is a Really Good product and I use it in my raised beds all the time and also put some around my squash plants that need a lot of nutrients.

This compost is fantastic, in that it makes plants bigger and stronger, and I know I am getting more flowers on my plants as well. This stuff works like magic, and I am so glad I purchased it.

This is by far the best compost I have ever used. I closed out my garden beds at the end of last growing season and added this compost to the top layer on 2 of my beds. I did not add this to the third bed because it was being used for cold Hardy vegetables. When I opened up my beds to prepare them for the spring growing season, the soil in the beds with this compost was absolutely amazing. I have never had soil like this. It was just rich and lofty and surprisingly full of worms which I had not seen the previous growing season. It was just overall healthy soil. The third bed that was not amended with his compost I looked like it needed a lot of re-mineralization. I did add some of this compost to help out but it would’ve been nice to have added it last fall. I realize the price is approximately $10 over the retail price but they do not sell the stuff in my area. So I’m assuming that extra cost is the built-in shipping cost. But I must say that it is worth every penny.

This is expensive for the size but is an excellent product.

The description of this item says it's 27.5 lbs, but the bag only weighs 17 lbs., but their customer service resolved this with me and the contents were as expected.
