Review: My plants love this soil - I love this soil, so does my plants and garden. It's light and airy with great nutrients.
Review: All Good - I chose Fox Farm soil (anew choice), for repotting my Boston Fern and for a leggy Monstera houseplant. After reading the reviews, Fox Farm soil seemed to be a good choice for houseplants to grow in and for taking new starts from a plant, aka cuttings. Both my Fern and Monstera plants prefer slightly acidic soil and so I tested the new soil’s PH and it’s at 7.0. The PH level is another detail needed to consider for my new little plant fledglings (cuttings from the Monstera). Even so I still repotted Fern and will soon be repotting the Monstera plant and it’s cuttings that need a 5.5 - 6.5 PH. The Fern needs a 6.5 - 6.8 PH, so it was close enough to be repotted in the new soil. The Fern’s fronds, (leaves), were always dropping right in the soil area. Pine trees do that too if the soil isn’t acidic enough they will drop pine needle debris to cover the ground, around the base, to lower the PH where they are growing. So this time, my houseplants will have a good restart using an upgraded quality soil (Fox Farm) paired with more attention to their PH balance. I will still use the soil for my Monstera plant and cuttings after amending with aluminum sulfate to change the PH down to 5.5 - 6.5. The soil is all good and I enjoy the process in taking care of houseplants and choosing a quality houseplant soil. When repotting Fern, I noticed the soil was fluffy and had its own perlite and organic material in it. I added more perlite and tea from tea bags to the dirt. There were no signs of pest. It watered well and drained well. I’m looking forward to seeing new fronds this spring from our Fern houseplant.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much soil in quarts**
A: It's roughly 42 wet quarts in a 40 lb bag.. I measured this several times. It takes 21 wet quarts to fill a vivosun 5 gallon fabric grow bag so a  40 lb bag is enough for two 5 gallon pots

**Q: I saw a video that said always used sterilized soil.....if so, how does Ocean forest stack up?**
A: If you are looking for something that is "Sterilized" You should make sure it is listed in the product description and title.Ocean Forest is a very clean and organic soil that works great.

**Q: how many 2 gallon pots will it fill**
A: It will probably fill 5-6 2 gallon buckets. 1-1/2 cubic feet comes out to about 11.5 gallons.

**Q: How can Amazon.com expect to sell this at $24.37 when I can get it locally for $11.95-19.99?**
A: I just called my local small garden center and they carry the 1.5cu ft for 19.99+tx. I'm sure the "free" shipping is factored into the online price. 40 pounds is pretty heavy to be mailing out for "free". As for bugs, if it's a sealed bag then there shouldn't be a problem. Last year I purchased a bag of Nature's Care that had some air holes in it by design. It was stored outside at HD. My first grow had gnats, but months later the following grows did not. YMMV.
