planting mix

Soil for containers

Planting mix is a prepared soil blend formulated for container gardening or filling raised beds.

Unlike potting mix, which is typically soilless, planting mix contains actual soil along with organic matter and amendments.

It provides nutrients and drainage for transplants and seedlings: I filled the new raised bed with planting mix.
