POTTING SOIL FROM STANLER FARMS
Potting soil for healthy container plants
Stanler Farms potting soil is a mixture of our weed-free compost, composted bark and sand, for vegetables and pot plants. Our specially formulated blend provides the ideal environment for container plants to flourish, with an airy texture that drains well, where ordinary garden soil compacts in a pot and holds too much water.
