I have not found one pre mixed potting soil that meets the criteria for all my plants. I have lots of plants (130+) with different soil needs. Trial and error plus becoming more informed has made me create my own soil blends. So, I don’t rely on a single brand. I can get by with less expensive bulk ingredients and combine them myself. Storing the unused ingredients is an issue.

I would buy a more expensive bag of quality premixed potting soil if I only had a few plants of the same variety. The brands mentioned above works well. 🍀🪴

I’m like sunny- I prefer to mix my own blends. I have a lot of plants as well (50+… catching up to you sunny haha) but thankfully I have a small greenhouse/potting shed with plenty of room to store all my crap lol
