If you have been gardening for any length of time, I am sure you have heard a reference to fertilizers' values. Many gardeners, including myself, are advocates for organic powerhouses. These include earthworm castings and fish emulsions.
Why? The earth and Sea provide amazing growth power and nutrients for the growth of your plants.

You do not need a "green thumb" to grow beautiful, healthy plants. Successful gardening develops through knowledge and the use of proper ingredients. The soil you use is an important first ingredient to growing success.
In the case of container gardening, the soil you use becomes even more important. There is no leaching of nutrients or minerals from the ground. Your plant is relying on its sole little habitat to provide it with everything it needs.
Improper soils lead to growth issues and failures!
Slow growing plants. Discolored or yellowing leaves. Spindly weak growth. These are just a few signs of possible soil deficiency.
They are not the fault of your thumbs! They are the error of your soil!
Excellent potting soil for your plants needs to meet quality standards to achieve success.
Fox Farm ocean forest soil is an easy solution that meets all those standards. It works for an old pro like a new gardener and me too.
It's just simple. You do not need to spend time worrying about mixing in added ingredients. This soil is ready to use straight from the bag. Furthermore, new plantings can go up to 3 months before needing any additional fertilizers.
If you are serious about growing beautiful, successful plants, give them the right start. They will thank you with:
With the right soil, everyone has a green thumb!
A special note. The type of plant your potting also creates certain soil needs. In most cases, soils, like the Fox Farm ocean forest, will be ideal. However, certain plant types, such as orchids, cactus, etc., require specific soil.
Fox Farm is a family-owned company that is nationally recognized for providing some of the finest quality garden products. They provide a variety of soil mixes, fertilizers, hydroponic nutrients, and much more. Many of their products are organic.
Rumors Have It - Fox Farm has Gnats!
Special note about ANY potting soil company or brand. I often hear complaints about this brand or that and finding fungus gnats or other bugs.
Well. I am sorry to say. I have bad news. That is nature. All properly packaged soils have holes for air circulation, or you would be buying a big stinking moldy mess. The organic matter in these bags can attract pests.
Test any soil you get! Moisten a handful and place it in a sealed glass jar for a few days. You will see critters if they're in there. If you have a pest problem, you will need to treat it. Check out this article I posted here on soil sterilization.
I have not had that often happen with the Fox Farm, but I realize it is natural not a fault of the company.
Get the ultimate blend of the Earth and Sea and start your plants off right! Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil is a premium blend of earthworm casting, bat guano, hummus, kelp, fish, and crab meal.
I Grow Many Plants in an Ocean Forest.For container planting indoors, Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil is hands down my favorite. I have been gardening for a great many years, both indoors and out. During that time, I have tried so many different soil brands. I even make my own that to use in my raised beds.
The ocean forest soil is a clear stand-out for me in my indoor garden. I have not had a plant fail due to a soil issue when using this product. The price is slightly higher when compared to other more easily sourced products. However, the quality far outweighs the cents it adds up to.
I use it primarily for transplanting into and rarely start seeds direct in this soil. Why? Seeds often have all the nutrients they need to get started. A simple seed starting mix or other base is an easier option to germinate. You could use this, but I find it is overkill of nutrients at that early stage.
Have you tried the Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic Potting soil? I want to hear all about it: the good, the bad, or the indifferent. Start a conversation by leaving a comment below.
Happy Gardening!
