Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've used Container Boster mix for the vegetable and flower pots on my deck for 10 years now and they do great. In addtion to the Booster mix I top up a bit with potting soil when needed but basically I'm still using the same soil I started with. This saves time, effort and money!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used this product for several years in my potted planters from Gardeners supply. I love what it does to the old soil and the flowers are big and beautiful!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use this product to re-charge my previous years potting soil. It works great and enables me to asve money by not having to buy new potting soil for all of my containers.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I love this product. I used to waste so much potting soil by changing it every year. Now I just mix in the booster as directed and almost never have to buy potting soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Using it to rejuvenate my earth box soil rather than replacing existing soil at a hefty price.
Wasn't too heavy a container for me and my grandson to handle.
I have no compliaints at this time.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I don't have a yard, only a large wooden deck, I have many large pots and don't want to throw away my potting soil each year as the professional recommend, so I use this product each year and am pleased with the results of replenishing required nutreints for plant growth.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I added the booster mix to my potted plants, mostly roses, and to some old soil in pots and planted new plants. The new plants are doing good. I still have to see the results. It only has been 4 weeks.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
My Mother and I are both avid gardeners and over a season we use a lot of bagged soil. This product allowed us to reuse the soil from last year's pots again the following year. The final results were just as good as when we used the fresh dirt. This saved us a lot of money so nominal cost of the product was well worth it. We bought more again for this years season.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Great for rejuvinating container soil for new plantings.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
For the past four years, I've replenished and re-nourished my patio container garden with Vermont Compost's Container Mix. My perennials and annuals flourish and bloom plentifully, making the patio beautiful. It's easy to dig the mix into to the pots and saves a lot of money and time replacing soil each year.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
THIS IS TERRIFIC SO EASY TO USE. HAD TO ORDER SECOND BAG AS FIST WAS USED UP SO QUICKLY. LOVE THE SELF WATERING POTS AND SOIL MAKES GARDENING EASIER EVEN IN THE HOT TEXAS SUN.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use this in all my planters for the past couple of years and have not had to replace the soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This product is a great way to revitalize container soil. I have been very pleased with the results, and no longer feel the need to use new planting mix--just newly revitalized. Happy plants tell all!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
SO EASY TO USE AND STORAGE NO PROBLEM
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I never liked started with fresh potting soil and getting rid of the old because it seemed so wasteful. This is an economical way to refresh the soil. So far, it is working great for my plants. I added it to my houseplants inside also and they are perking up.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Love It! I use an all organic potting soil every year. Fantastic for containers with the previous year's soil mix! My containers did really well with adding it!
I'm going to add some to my flower beds this year to give them a boost!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use so much potting soil each year, this product has saved me lots of money, and is easy to use. I also like the "re-usability" of existing soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Good not just for rejuvenating last year's potting soil, but for adding to this year's (some bagged potting soils aren't high quality, but this improves them). Also great for perking up houseplants. Add a half-inch or so to top of houseplant pot, work in slightly. Also add when repotting houseplants. A fine product, have used it for years.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used this product ever since it came out and love it. I have recommended this product to many many friends and they all love it as much as I do. My compost would never be as good without it.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Makes me feel that the soil I used last year has been renewed or refreshed and will produce again.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used this product for several years in flower pots and flower beds to revitalize the soil, with great results.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
we used it for all recycled soils for planters, and we made 45 of them! Really gave life to old soil and worked great! I already ordered more for next spring!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
buy it every year, one or two bags.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
GREAT FOR CONTAINERS. I HAVE 23 LG. CONTAINERS. BEST TO RENEW OLD DIRT. DIDNT EMPTY Any. JUST DUG IN TO OLD SOIL---BOBBIE
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Annual use saves me from replacing potting soil nearly as often, so it's a very good value for the money. In fact, no matter what planting medium I try, my potted plants always seem happiest/healthiest when it's time to use this soil refresher!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Lightweight and plants grow so good in this mixture.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
With the start of the new growing season
it is very economical to revive potting soil.
Giving an extra boost to the plants is a nice
Spring start.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
My pots have been sitting on my deck all winter long with the potting soil from last summer still in them. I knew I just wouldn't be throwing all that soil out, so this was the perfect solution to being able to use it again! So far my plants are looking fantastic, despite the incredible heat wave we're having here in Kentucky this summer. Thanks!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
We plant alot of veggie plants in pots due to our limited space. We used the old soil from these pots from last year with the Booster mix for our flower pots this year. The plants are doing great and we saved a lot of money not having to buy all new dirt. We have also scratched some into the top layer of our potted plants that comes in over the winter and even they appreciated the Boost.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Dont throw out your old potting mix at the end of the year...you paid good money for it! Just add some super lovely compost booster next year and it will be good to go for another season!Love it. So easy. Reuse, reuse, reuse! (Helps improve top soil too.)
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Rather than throwing out my expensive "Moisture Control" potting mix every year and repotting with brand new mix, I simply mix in container mix booster when I replant in the spring and my dozens of annual containers do well every year. And for those plants I overwinter in the basement, I give them a boost every spring with this product as I set them outside for the summer. I barely disturb the roots as I mix this product in the top inch of potting mix, and they are off for another year of growth. It's so much less stressful for the plant than completely repotting the it to replace depleted potting mix.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have refreshed my containers for 15 years with the Booster mix. It refreshes the soil without having to start over. The plants are happy and healthy and bloom all summer long.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I will use this product every year to replenish my vegetable pots. Love it!!!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I love this product. Though your paying for something extra to add to your potted flowers price, in the end you are actually saving money since there is no need to re-buy potting soil and material year after year. Just purchase this product which is less exspensive than potting soil and your good to go. I think it takes care of the plants better all during the season. Love It.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
The ingredients are great, but it's quite expensive for what it is. Because it's used 1-2 cups/gallon, if one is rejuvenating a large container (>10 gallon) it would be much cheaper -- albeit more wasteful and eco-unfriendly -- to just get new potting soil. I can see this working quite well for 1-2 gallon pots, but I grow vegetables in ~30-gallon pots.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I add this to all my potted plants to replenish soil that mysteriously disappears during the course of the growing season. It helps cover the delicate roots and seems to help with water retention too
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
used it in my first self watering container. Love it!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
have been using this product for the past few years. it enables me to reuse the potting soil from last years hanging baskets, pots, etc by recharging the soil. i live in a condo, so disposal of used up soil could have been a problem. stuff works great.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Wow! Does this stuff ever work! Vigorous growth for our vegetable garden.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I reuse my soil in the windowboxes, so I'm hoping this will give the soil a good boost.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Every year my car smelled of manure. Not anymore. Easy to use with a mild odor for a few minutes. Veggies love this stuff.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Seems to make the plants grow faster
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Used this on several containers with old potting soil. Product was easy to incorporate and really helps perk up the plants. Will continue to buy this in coming years.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This is the second year for using this product and I will use it again. It has saved me money, time and back breaking work. Using it is easy and it keeps the soil in great condition. It is better then anything I have ever used to help my large potted containers.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This stuff is great!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
My potted plants are flourishing with last years soil enriched with container booster mix. I'll use this every year.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've used this product for years now and I think it's great to not have to buy soil EVERY YEAR for my container plants. I also spread it around new plants in the garden.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This container booster is doubly effective: it saves the need to purchase container mix and it revitalizes the mix with healthy ingredients.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Easily mixes into old potting soil to reenergize it! No more throwing out all the potting soil and buying new every year. This product saves, time, energy, and money!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I think this product's only drawback is it's labor-intensive to use when you have a lot of big containers. I may try not emptying the entire pot and mixing it into all the contents this year, but maybe dig it into the top few inches of the larger pots.
Last year, when the harvest from tomato, eggplant, and pepper plants in my community garden plot was heavily impacted by disease, my plants at home were flourishing. People couldn't believe it when they saw completely disease-free six foot tomato plants loaded with fruit into October!
I will definitely continue to use this product.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have brick planters around my front porch and I replenish the soil with the booster mix every year. My geraneums are always spectacular.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use this annually when I refresh my potted plants before putting them outside for the summer. Gives me great flowers with minimal work - saves repotting
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Much less expensive than replacing the potting mix in my 40-quart containers in which I grow spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, and melons.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I buy this product every year and I am adding it to new pots on my city terrace. It always gives the plants a terrific start and refreshes much used soil.

Works well to rejunevinate containers for tomatoes as well as additive to native soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Found it to be everything and more of the stated description. will definitely purchase more next year!!

I've used this product to replenish the soil in all of my planters for the last 3 years, highly recommend!

I was able to make my own seeding soil using this booster mix - which saves me even more money as I start my plants from seed!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Very convenient way to improve soil in potted plants. Easy to use ande helps keep pottede plants growing well for several seasons.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used the container booster mix in most of my potted plants and they have really taken off. Also, I used it when using my potting mix and planting flower and vegetable seeds. Egads! they were sprouting almost the next day and the growth after has been phenomenal!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Have not used it yet ! !
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I do a lot of container gardening this product saves money and time by allowing me to save the old potting mixes. I've used it for two years and my vegetables and flowers have been thriving and are plentiful.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Additionally to refreshing soil in spring repotting, I use it as a top dressing and making compost tea for watering my house plants. I used it to top dress the roses in the self water window boxes. Last year was the first time I used Gardeners Supply products and had excellent results, and for the first time in 20 years of mini roses, they actually returned after a unusually hard winter, on a NYC fire escape.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
to rehab soil in containers. In past, I kind of tried to do this buying separately, compost, etc. This is better, easier and not as messy. GREAT, SIMPLE IDEA. Used last year and will use more this year.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've used this product for 5 years on indoor potted plants and outdoor 36" pots. Not only do I save $$$ and effort by doing less lugging of huge potting soil bags and digging soil out of pots, but the booster helps tired soil retain moisture, so I water less. I love this product and have had many friends try it on my recommendation and they love it now, too!!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've used this product for 6 years. My potted flowers are gorgeous, healthy and disease free. Plus this product has saved me hundreds of dollars; I haven't replaced my potting soil in 6 years. This is a fantastic product!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
It is easy to use.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I add some of the container booster product every year to the 40 containers on my deck. I have found it to be a very economical and timesaving product. I don't have to dump my old soil out of the containers or buy heavy bags of potting mix every year. It works great for everything I grow, including flowers, herbs, lettuce and tomatoes, plus it's an organic product!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have lots of pots and this can't be beat for recycling the soil. A big time and money saver.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I just used this to revitalize all my potted plants.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I love being able to use the soil I have without throwing it out. This product adds a richness that existing soil did not have.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Great for rejuvenating last year's pots' soil so they can be used for another year. Well offsets the cost of buying the Container Booster Mix.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used this product for years to revitalize the soil in my large potted house plants. It's great. I've even used in in my garden containers.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
The container booster mix is an economical way to maintain container soil from year to year.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Easy to use - mixed it in with the existing soil in my pots
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This product makes a lot of sense but I wish I could buy it locally and not have to pay the postage. Saves having to replace all your container soil!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This is the second year that I purchased this product. I am pleased with the results.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used this mix to top off my window boxes and deck planters for 2 years now. I have had very good results. I hated taking the boxes down and refilling them. Now I only scoop off the tired looking stuff from the winter add this and I am set.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
For the past 3 years, I've used this product in the spring to revitalize soil in outdoor containers. It works very well and saves on the cost of buying new potting soil each year. I've also used it successfully once or twice a year to top dress indoor plants.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Used it to replenish the nutrients in my flower pots and potted fruit trees. I am seeing results now and will buy more.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Great way to rejuvenate my large planters
without wasting the old soil.
Was easy to use and plant growth and color
improved quickly.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Used this so I did not have to replace soil in large pots and deck baskets. Waiting to see if the soil amendment will be good enough for flowers to grow.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
In our short growing season at 7200', it shows signs of being very beneficial.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've used this product multiple years. I love that it allows me to stretch potting soil use for multiple years. My 2nd and 3rd year crops are as healthy and vibrant as the 1st. Good organic potting soil isn't cheap.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Not only does this product revive old potting soil when replanting pots, I've mixed it into existing potted plants to avoid re-potting. I've also used it in my organic vegetable garden when planting and spread some on bare lawn patches when re-seeding. Love it.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have 2 tomato self-waterers which use a lot of potting soil. the booster lets me reuse the soil for at least another year. since my garden is becoming more and more shaded as trees grow and some herbs and vegetables are simpler to care for in containers close to the house, I use a great deal of potting soil and appreciate not having to replace it each gardening season. There is nothing about this booster which is not great
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Easy to use; economical
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
The only gardening I do is containers on my deck. I use Container Booster Mix every year to make it easier - I don't have to replace the soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Mixing the content of last years pots of dirt with amount of Booster Mix recommended, provides glorious growth of this season's plantings while saving the cost of refilling each pot annually.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use the Booster Mix every year in our lg. containers for tomatoes. It revitalizes the soil & the tomato plants grow like crazy.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I hate to discard my used potting soil mixes, especially those used for only one year. The Container Booster saves me money,which is just one reason I garden. This product enhances ALL my containers...both flowers and vegetables, without any fuss or muss.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
The product is extremely effective for prolonging use of container gardens. I have many 26" pots on my deck and around my yard. I have been utlizing this product for about 7 years in those pots at the beginning of planting season each of those years. I have yet been required to change the potting soil in any of those pots. This product along with Energy Buttons, careful use of Terra-Sorb, and mid-season feeding with garden fertilizer have given my family and me many tasty tomoatoes, peppers, egg plans as well as the enjoyment of the flowers.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used this before and really like it. Due to deer problems, I plant everything in containers. I planted 64 this year and used three bags of container booster mix in my new soil. I change soil every year and add this to it. My plants are usually beautiful and this year looks to be the same.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I started using this originally in my 3 big pots. Now, I use it to revitalize all of the pots I have wintered over. Everyone wants to know what fertilizer I'm using.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
The soil booster mix is easy to use and works great.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
We are first time users. My son is a busy college student and doesn't have much free time, so this will help keep his favorite 5 year old plant going without having to repot!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Use this soil mixture with The Self-Watering Conversion Kit and you got it ALL! I put this soil into three large pots that I used last year: one with a tomato and two with flowers, filled the water reservoir (I got the gallon size), and did not have to water for over a week! Normally, these pots need watering about every 3 days! Anything I plant in a pot from now on will have both the soil and the self-watering kit!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I like to use this in my pots. Instead of dumping out every year and starting over, I just add the recommended amount and reuse the potting soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Very economical solution to replacing all of the potting soil in my veg. containers. Still have yet to see how well it works. It did seem to greatly improve the soil texture. Plants in these renewed pots aren't growing as well as raised bed plants, but that just may be due to being in a container. I'll try it out on some flowers and 7 yr old garlic chives in a container that need dividing. That will be an excellent test!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
easy to use, inexpensive alternative to replacing all that moisture hold potting soil from last year. it's lightweight and simple to measure. seems fairly economical - goes a long way. beats dumping all those hanging baskets from last year and replacing all the soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This is the best idea - no more tired soil to throw away
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I boost the window/deck boxes every year and th eplantings area hugely improved. Petunias cascade all over the deck and the geraniums withstand summer sun and last until a very hard frost.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I used this product to revive the old potting soil in my annual flower pots and as a top dressing in my perenial flower plots, it was easy to us and saved me money on new potting soil!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Last year was the first time that I used this product. The results were so successful that I purchased it again this year. Buying soil every year for your potted plants can be very expensive. Using this product offsets that expense and it does a great job. I would highly recommend this product.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This is way to early in the season for Wa to rate a product
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Wonderful stuff. Most of my garden is in containers so the soil really needs replenishment. I add handfuls of this compost to container soil before transplanting or add some around perennials, etc and I think it really helps the plants. I have had certain perennials in containers that should not have lasted anywhere near as long as mine have!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Last year I used the Container Booster Mix to rejuvenate the soil in my self watering window boxes on the advice of one of the experts at Gardeners Supply. Before I sought their advice, I was going to throw out the old soil and start over again, but this saved my soil and I had another year of beautiful plants! I am doing the same thing again this year!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Makes container gardening much easier. Do not have to repot and change soil. Have not seen anything like it elsewhere.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I raise all my vegetables in containers, so the soil is really "used". It is wonderful to have such a complete formula to amend container soil so it can be re-used. Time, money and resources are all saved!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Have used this product in the same large pot full of dirt for five years. My flowers in this pot are always beautiful and healthy.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I had used my earth boxes for the last few years without replacing the potting soil. My 2007 plants were the pits, so still didn't want to throw out my potting soil - it's too costly and I didn't have a reasonable priced substitute. Well, that's when I found "Container Booster Mix" - WOW! What a difference. My plants for 2008 were beautiful, strong, the greenest, and the most productive ever.
I got 2 ears of corn on some of my corn plants. One tomato plant produced 30 - 1/2+ pound tomatoes.
I just ordered 6 more bags for this years planting.

I use this product in my self watering containers so I do not have to get new soil mix this dose the trick

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've been using this Booster Mix for almost 15yrs.
It's Great for adding YOUTH to old soil rather it be directly into the old yard soil oR pots when the soil needs a good lift.
This Booster MIx is like finding the:
Fountain of Youth for soil that needs a GOOD BOOST. Being I have limitations with disablilites I'm unable to turn over & work my yard, or even empty an old pot of soil that has lost it's life.
All I have to do is add afew Tablespoons of Booster Mix, give a few turns of the soil, then moist it down alittle.
It's great when wanting to re-add new bulbs oR re-plant the season's before. Same goes for adding it directly to the ground soil that needs a GOOD BOOST. This does the TRICK without alot of work or any work at all. Just had your plants, bulbs, or seedings and your either back in business or on your way in watching your goodies grow.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I used the container booster in my raised self watering bed for the first time last year and bought it again for this year due to the great results. The small bags are very easy to use!

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I am using this product to rejuvenate last years potting soil, hopefully, bringing it up to current quality potting soil and perhaps saving some cost. I am just begining to plant my pots so its whole story is yet to be told. It has been relatively easy to use and depending on the season's success I would use it again.

This product makes perfect sense. Adding this compost to last years depleted potting soil really does the trick. I have used this several years and each time I get bigger, healthier plants.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I raise my veggies in the Earth Boxes due to space restrictions. All my plantings have been very much more than I ever thought they might be. This product has been a great benefit to my gardening and has earned the attension of both my neighbors. It has given my plants a very obvious head start over the plants that I didn't use it on. My transplants are 4 to 5 inches larger than the plants not given my booster mix.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I started using this product and it seemed to work well. I have used this product for the last 4-5 years. once I used this product I started using other the other garden products of yours.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
You don't need to choose between top quality and saving money with Container Booster Mix. I've used this mix for 7 years running and saved hundreds of dollars. No need to buy new potting soil, just mix in the recommended amount of Container Booster and you'll have gorgeous, bright, healthy plants in your pots. This is one product I refuse to do without. Save yourself money. Try this Container Booster and you'll be the envy of your neighborhood.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
It's too early to tell because I just used this product. However, I like the concept. I have two decks on the upstairs part of my house and they look lovely with pots in bloom. However, it's difficult to garden upstairs --getting soil, etc. up there. It's equally difficult to work on my pots downstairs and take them up to the decks. I purchased your recommended potting soil for the self watering planters and hope to avoid totally repotting in the future.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Plant expesive bulbs in pots. Use product to enhance soil every year. Enables plantings to flourish for more years than would be possible without soil enhancement.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Before I had to water my plants everyday. Now I can go at least a week without their showing any wilt from not having enough water. The planters are very easy to move.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Repeat customer... that says it all.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Easy to use, either for repotting or starting new pots. An easy way to add nutrients when needed.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've used this product in my pots for the last two seasons. I plant over 50 containers a season and my plants thrive with this product. A great way to carry pots season to season.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This was the first year I used this product and I was very happy with it. In the past every year I have dumped old potting mix and started with new container mix (very expensive.) This year I used the Container Booster Mix and was able to renew my old container mix and saved quite a bit of money. The plants I planted in the containers with Container Booster added have done very well. Try it, you'll like it.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have to admit that this actually works. i was ready to throw out the dirt, but used this instead and it was great! I also used it mid summer on all those veggie pot brimming with plants and suddenly they are brimming with veggies!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
revitalized my container soil and the plants all grew like it was NEW soil
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I've added this Booster Mix to potting soil in my deck containers for three years and really like the results. It makes getting ready for the growing season quick and easy, without the need for new soil each year. Plants can struggle up here (I garden almost exclusively in containers at 8,000' in the CO Rockies), but this mix keeps my potting soil viable. Many of the containers I use are Self-Watering from Gardener's Supply, and I use the potting soil for the self-watering containers, as well. It's a relatively thrifty way to enhance tired soil, and my plants seem to love it - making me a happy gardener!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Mixed with my own New Hampshire homemade compost my container plantings received a real treat!!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I like the idea of recycling old soil and making it productive again. This year, I've used it mostly in potted plants.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have used lot of this product on all old soil in the containers, on the grass etc. this has enriched the soil to make all vegetables, grass and flowers grow well in my garden.

It needs to much water to work effectively. It is too bothersome. I regret buying it.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I used this mix to boost the year-old soil in my Gardener's Supply windowboxes this spring. The results have been exemplary! My plants have bright, full color and lush foilage. Another home run!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
It's great to be able to reuse the potting soil. It obviously works well because my cucumbers are already on their way to the neighbor's yard. My sister dubbed me the cucumber queen last year, and after using the booster mix, I've retained my title.

I used it on most of last year's potted soil that I was too lazy to dump out at the end of last summer. I revamped it all in a kiddie sand box by mixing it in with this product - all my flower boxes look great once again and I didn't have to go and buy any new potting soil!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Rejuvenates potting mixture in self-watering containers and provides for sustained growth of vegetable plants.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Can't actually say I noticed a huge difference, but I had good results using it in conjunction with last year's soil, so I'd say give it a shot -- especially if you're not going to supplement your soil in any way (peat, etc.)
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I love not having to replace potting soil every year and the bag lasts a long time.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This is an awesome product for depleted potting soil. I also use this product when adding new plantings.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
My garden consists of a large third-floor balcony with window boxes and hanging baskets. I like this product because I can reuse potting soil. It keeps me from lugging heavy bags of potting mix up three flights of stairs whenver I replant a container. I can refresh used potting soil and save a lot of work. It's a good substitute for a compost pile.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Really rejuvenated my container soil
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This produce is great for renewing soil in pots. Just take off the top 2" or so and replace with this wonderful black gold.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I had never used a product like this but tried it because I always felt I needed to buy new potting soil every year. This works extremely well and has saved me a lot of money. The results are the same as if I had used new potting soil.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have a rooftop garden and many of the plants have been in containers for years already. This year I added a few handfuls of Booster Mix in the spring as I loosened the dirt and cleaned up and everything took off like mad -- my plans have never looked healthier.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
cut my soil replacement and labor required by about one half. Also cut down my cost for new soil,since I can now recycle the prior years mix.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I mixed it with last years soil in pots. Everything looks great

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I haven't been successful with my tomatoe plants and I hope that this will help produce a larger crop this year. It was fairly easy to mix into the soil I already had.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I have four whiskey barrels full of colorful summer flowers accenting my backyard patio. I added new soil to 2 barrels and used the container booster mix to the other 2. The difference it made to those barrels is remarkable! The plants are more lush and more colorful and bigger. I'm amazed that it made such a difference.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Saves removing old soil and replcing it.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
After investing in self-watering containers and the mix to go in them, I didn't want to discard the mix and have to start over. The container mix booster seems to have recharged the soil and my containers are looking great even as the summer really heats up.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I used this in all of my planters this year and my containers are overflowing.

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use the Container Booster Mix every spring. I have 4 huge pots (1/2 wine barrel size) that would be really expensive to refill with new potting soil every year. Instead, I leave in the old potting soil and mix in the Booster Mix. I have beautiful flowers in these tubs every year and out of the 3 years I've used this product I have never been disappointed.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I could not tell the difference after application. A few months have lapsed. Plants are doing well, but they did well last year without this product.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I think you could describe me as 'thrifty', well maybe even 'cheap', so this product made sense to me....why throw out old potting soil when it can be amended and used again.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Brought the soil back into productivity which saved a lot of $$$$

Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I had some outdoor container plants that were looking dull and lifeless and the soil in the pots was subsiding. I sprinkled some of the Container Booster Mix and top and the plants immediately perked up. A lot less wasteful than repotting the plant and throwing out the old soil - and easier too!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
What a great idea. I always hated to toss the old potting soil out as my seedlings grew up but now I don't have to. I am ready for next years seedlings.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
My plants did very well with this compost. It was well worth the $.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
This product is fantastic. I added some to my outdoor pots when I planted annuals this spring. I've never had petunias with so many healthy, colorful blooms. My geraniums and impatiens are blooming like crazy too. There is absolutely no need to add any of that blue granular fertilizer to my watering can any more -- it simply is not needed when you use this product at planting time. Also -- the plants stay compact and healthy, not leggy like they can get with the blue fertilizer. You won't be disappointed with this product.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use the container booster mix to replenish the soil in large containers where it would be too expensive to replace all the soil. I remove the top couple of inches of spent soil, mix the booster mix into the next several inches and replace the removed top few inches with fresh soil.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Container Booster has saved me a great deal of money over the years. I have been able to reuse the same soil in all my flower pots for a half dozen years now without loss of flower power. My floral displays are the talk of the neighborhood. Just as important, I've never had one problem with plant disease in all that time. This product deserves a gold medal of excellence!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use this product to boost last season potted plants. It enables me to put off repotting for several years.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I used to think I had to change all the soil in my planters and troughs....now I know I can add this booster mix...and some long acting fertilizer pellets and be ready for spring planting.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Great when using soil from season to season.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Most of our "used" soil no longer goes into the compost but rather is rejuvinated by this product
What a time and expence saver!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
With 3 little kids an alot of yard chores, I haven't found the time to invest in creating my own compost, which is why I LOVE this product, especially for my pots. I skip the fall ritual of dumping out a million quarts of potting soil--just clean out the old plant material and next spring, add the Container Booster mix and I'm off to the races. I'm on my fourth year of soil in some of my pots and everything in there is still blooming vigorously.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
Best product I've used to replenish used SWC container mixes. Saves cost as I do not have to always buy new mixes!
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I mixed this new container booster into all my existing pots with the soil from last year still in them- it is doing its work! Sure saves on the hassel of putting all new soil into the pots-- and the flowers are flourishing! Its quick and easy- I can sure recommend it.
Comments about Container Booster Mix:
I use it for my tropical and vegetable container garden. I particularly like the fine milled texture, which makes it very easy to use with pot plants.
