From comparing the 2 types of potting mix I mentioned.

Natures care organic potting mix had a finer consistency.
MG organic potting mix had large bark chunks in it that I didn't like.

MG organic potting mix is $1 cheaper where I live.

I think overall, the ingredients inside always looks similar on the packaging. I grow in Earthboxes and was always told to use the potting mix instead of potting soil. Was told not to use potting soil because it contains dirt and causes wicking problems.

I haven't experimented with the potting soil yet, but assume it's similar with a little bit of dirt.

That raised bed soil looks interesting. Maybe I will experiment with it next year.

Are you going to experiment with it? Wonder if the price difference is because the potting mix has "water conserve" noted.
