is a loam soil mix for those who lack access to decent sandy loam soil for pond plants, such as in areas of Florida, parts of the desert southwest, or western USA mountain regions. Normal bagged soil is filled with organic matter that decays in the water. Our loam is a combination of silt, clay, and sand, making it a very healthy loam. Dampen, but do not wet heavily before adding to the pond.
THIS PRODUCT IS SAFE FOR ALL PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
Each Box contains approximately 18 lbs of soil, which will more than adequately make two of the 8.5 x 5" deep smaller pots or one of our large lily pots.
With PondGro, you have the option to expand the volume of your planting media by adding another 1/3 of any type of sand to the mix. This not only increases the volume but also lowers the cost, as soil can be expensive to ship. For a cost-effective solution, consider using Children's play sand, which is inexpensive and pre-rinsed, as an easy additive to this mix. It's widely available at big box stores for just a few dollars, making your gardening experience more affordable.
Please note that the soil will ship separately from any plants in its own packaging, so they may arrive on different days. In parts of the USA we must ship the heavier boxes like this via USPS Post office.
Each Bag contains 18 lbs of loam soil.
