because it was a “potting mix” and primarily organic matter. Which is disappointing because I bought it as “garden soil”

Garden soil will be nothing more than ground up bark and shavings meant to be added to your garden soil as an enhancement.


Potting soil is a mixture of the above with soil and usually contains fertilizer and vermiculite and can be used in containers and raised beds.

If you purchased garden soil and filled a raised bed or containers you need to add some dirt with it.

If you mixed this in with dirt and just sent in what was in the bag before mixing you will have a false reading and have no idea what you need to add.
