I love this potting soil and so do my plants! I use it for most of my houseplants that do not require a chunkier soil.

  • Wheatgrass Thrives—And So Do My Cats!
Size: 12 quart (1 Pack)
I bought this soil specifically to grow wheatgrass indoors for my cats, and it’s been a total win. The texture is light and fluffy, making it easy to plant and water without compacting. Within days, the wheatgrass sprouted strong and vibrant, and it’s stayed lush thanks to the soil’s excellent moisture retention. The blend of organic ingredients—like earthworm castings and bat guano—clearly gives the grass a nutrient boost. My cats absolutely love nibbling on it, and I feel good knowing it’s grown in high-quality, pH-balanced soil. If you’re growing wheatgrass or any indoor greens, this is hands-down the best soil I’ve used. No fuss, no additives needed—just open the bag and plant. Highly recommended for pet parents and plant lovers alike! ... show more

  • Dependable soil
Size: 12 quart (1 Pack)
Pretty decent soil. Great size of bag for indoor growers. I don’t see any fungus or anything that shouldn’t be there. It does have a lot of white thingys for water retention but I prefer less honestly. Hence one star off. Overall good dependable soil.

  • From a long time plant grower -Long review but worth the read - I love this soil.
Size: 12 quart (3 Pack)
FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil is hands-down one of the best soil options available for container gardening. This 12qt (Pack of 3) bundle is a fantastic deal, beating the competition in both price and quality. After thorough research and years of personal use, I can confidently say this soil delivers exceptional results every time. Here’s why: Top-Quality, Nutrient-Rich Soil: Ocean Forest is known for being "hot," meaning it's heavily amended with natural nutrients like earthworm castings, bat guano, and forest humus. This makes it ideal for plants that thrive on a rich nutrient base. It's perfect for jumpstarting growth and maintaining plant health without requiring heavy fertilization early on. Perfectly Balanced pH: One of the standout features is its pH balance, which is always spot-on for optimal nutrient uptake. This saves time and effort in managing pH levels, especially for beginners or those using sensitive plants. Light, Aerated Texture: The soil has a great texture—light and fluffy yet retains moisture effectively. This balance ensures roots can breathe while staying hydrated, leading to vigorous growth. To take it up a notch, I mix it with Happy Frog soil for even better results, as Happy Frog provides a slightly gentler nutrient base. Add Perlite for Improved Drainage: Although the soil has good aeration, I recommend adding perlite (around 10-20%) to enhance drainage, especially for plants prone to root rot. This is particularly useful if you’re growing in humid environments or using fabric pots. Bundle Deal: This 3-pack bundle is the best deal I could find—excellent value for a premium product. Given the quality and consistency of Ocean Forest, it beats out other brands in terms of both price and performance. Reusable and Sustainable: Yes, it’s expensive, but one way to offset the cost is by reusing the soil. After each grow, amend it with compost, biochar, or fresh nutrients to rejuvenate it for the next round. It’s sustainable and helps maximize your investment. Tips & Tricks for New Users: Be Aware of Its "Hot" Nature: While it’s loaded with nutrients, some young plants or seedlings might find it too rich. Consider starting seeds in Happy Frog or a seedling mix and transplanting them into Ocean Forest later. Prevent Fungus Gnats: Occasionally, I’ve noticed gnats in the soil, but this is easily treatable. Use mosquito dunks or sprinkle a thin layer of diatomaceous earth on top to keep pests at bay. Mix with Happy Frog Soil: For a balanced nutrient profile, mix Ocean Forest with Happy Frog soil in a 50/50 ratio. It’s a foolproof combination for virtually any plant. Bottom Watering: To minimize soil disturbances and pests like gnats, try bottom watering your plants using trays. Monitor Plant Needs: While Ocean Forest has plenty of nutrients, always keep an eye on your plants’ progress. Some may need additional feeding during heavy flowering or fruiting stages. Trash-Free and Reliable: Unlike other brands that sometimes include sticks, rocks, or debris, FoxFarm Ocean Forest is clean and consistent. Every bag I’ve used has been of the same high quality, which is crucial when working with premium plants. Final Thoughts: FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil is a premium product for growers of all levels. The combination of rich nutrients, perfect pH, and light texture makes it ideal for container plants of any kind. While it’s pricey, the ability to reuse it and the results it delivers make it well worth the investment. Whether you’re growing flowers, vegetables, or cannabis, this soil provides the perfect foundation for success. If you’re serious about gardening and want a soil that outperforms the rest, look no further. Just grab some perlite, consider pairing it with Happy Frog, and you’re good to go! ... show more

  • Happy plants, happy life!
Size: 12 quart (1 Pack)
I bought this soil to repot my prayer plant that was infested with gnats. The price is high compared to other soils on the market, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s a versatile soil that will fit almost any indoor plant needs because it consists of perlite, peat moss, and loam along with other great organic matters from crab and fish to earthworm castings and bat guano. Basically this soil has the full package and your plant will get all of its nutrients from their food triangle. I used the remainder of the soil to repot my majesty palm and it’s had a new frond open up since then and has not had any signs of brown tips post repotting. If anyone is also wondering, I used a self watering pot that they say is really good for majesty palms since they drink a lot of water but can often get overwatered. Upon doing my research for my majesty palm many have advised to use two different types of soil and one that’s specifically for cactus plants but this one alone did the job! About a month after repotting my prayer plant, it’s had a burst of new growth with multiple new leaves sprouting from the bottom with newer ones still opening up! I haven’t seen this much growth since I first brought the plant home about a year ago. In the pictures shows the prayer plant before and a month after repotting. I can almost say they’re growing like weeds! The bag came in perfect condition and was not infested at all. In fact, the soil looked extremely healthy and so far I can tell it retains water very well yet holding the ability for good drainage. ... show more
