Potting Mix

Shop Potting Mix And Potting Soil For Every Garden Project

Gardening success often comes down to what’s going on below the surface. And at Epic Agriculture, we’ve been there, bad drainage, root rot, or soil that just won’t hold moisture. That’s why we’ve pulled together a curated mix of potting mix and potting soil from brands we actually trust. Think FoxFarm, Miracle-Gro, Back to the Roots, names that get the job done without a lot of hand-holding.

Explore Organic Potting Mix For Healthy, Sustainable Growth

You want clean, chemical-free plants? We get it. There’s something deeply satisfying about watching your tomatoes or basil thrive in an organic potting mix that doesn’t smell like a science experiment. These blends are built for conscious growers, packed with compost, peat, and things like coconut coir that make your soil feel alive.

And we’re not talking one-size-fits-all. A city balcony herb grower and a backyard vegetable warrior aren’t dealing with the same needs. Organic Plant Magic works beautifully for edibles. Wakefield Biochar? Great if you're trying to revive tired soil or boost microbial life. Sustainable doesn’t have to mean underperforming, and it definitely shouldn’t mean overpriced.

Potting Mix For Succulents, Vegetables, And More

Different plants, different personalities, right? Succulents are like introverts at a garden party. They hate clingy moisture and want to breathe. Meanwhile, vegetables are high-maintenance and hungry. That’s why we carry mixes for each type. Want to dial it in a little better? Here’s what we recommend:

• - Use succulent potting mix with added perlite or coarse sand to prevent soggy roots
• - Choose a vegetable mix rich in compost and organic matter for steady, nutrient-dense growth

The bottom line? You wouldn’t feed your goldfish steak. Don’t give your cactus tomato soil. We’ve tested these combos so you don’t have to second-guess.

Is Potting Mix The Same As Potting Soil?

Ah, the classic head-scratcher. Is potting mix just a fancy name for potting soil? Well, not quite. It’s like calling sparkling water “just water”, technically true, but missing the point. Potting mix is usually soilless. It's crafted to be light, airy, and perfect for containers. Potting soil can contain actual dirt, which sometimes helps with moisture retention.

At Epic Agriculture, we stock both because, spoiler alert, they each serve a purpose. Perfect Plants and Leaves and Soul, for example, offer clean, high-performance blends in either form. So pick what suits your setup, not what sounds good on the label.

Can You Reuse Potting Soil?

Short answer? Sure, but don’t just dump last year’s dirt in a new pot and hope for the best. Used potting soil needs a bit of TLC before it’s ready for round two. Here's a simple roadmap:

• - Remove old roots and plant debris, yes, even the tiny ones
• - Spread the soil out in the sun for a day or two (a natural, free sterilizer)
• - Mix in compost or fresh potting mix to bring the nutrients back to life
• - Add a scoop of biochar or perlite if the texture feels heavy or compacted

If your old mix came from a sick plant or smells like a locker room? Toss it. Some things just aren’t worth saving.

Does Potting Soil Go Bad?

We hate to break it to you, but yes, potting soil can go south. Over time, it breaks down, loses structure, and might start smelling...off. You’ve probably opened a bag, taken a whiff, and questioned your life choices.

The good news? This isn’t inevitable. Keep the bag sealed tight, store it off the ground, and protect it from moisture. If it looks clumpy or has fuzzy spots, don’t use it. Mold, mildew, and mystery gunk aren’t great for your plants.
