Miracle-Gro Moisture Control All Purpose Potting Mix 2 cu ft
This potting mix is designed to protect plants from over and under-watering, feeding them for up to 6 months and promoting growth to twice their size compared to unfed plants. Its exclusive AquaCoir Formula absorbs up to 33% more water than basic potting soil. Suitable for all types of outdoor container plants, including flowers, shrubs, and vegetables, it is recommended to use a pot with a drainage hole, filling it about one-third full with the mix before adding the plant and more soil. A 2 cu. ft. bag can fill two 14-inch containers, and repotting annually is suggested to avoid soil compaction. The product is not organic and is designed for potting purposes with nutrient-enriched soil. It is not suitable for hydroponic use. Gardening gloves are recommended during use.
“For gardeners looking to maximize plant growth, this potting mix is a game-changer,” Larson notes. “Its water-retaining capabilities make it a standout choice.”

The product is packaged in a 1-gallon container with an extended wand sprayer for precise application and is suitable for multi-region use against various weeds and grasses.

Scotts Nature Scapes Deep Forest Brown Bark Color Enhanced Mulch 2 cu ft
Locally produced using regional forest products, this mulch provides vibrant, year-long color to landscapes through Color Guard technology, which helps it retain its hue.

Certified by the Mulch & Soil Council, it ensures quality and industry standards, containing only natural forest products. Manufactured within an average of 150 miles from where it is sold, it supports local production. For optimal color, keep it dry for 24 hours post-application and rake the top inch every 3-4 months.
