I'll add that the first impression I got from opening a bag of nature's care was that it looked, felt, and smelled an awful lot like the bags of black mulch you put in your flower beds every spring. Very different from the "exclusively peat-y" smells and loose texture of typical potting mix. If I were to solarize the bags first, I would be tempted to throw a few bags into raised beds. Seems like they went for potting mix, but made a better raised bed soil instead. I think I got suckered by their marketing and info on the package because I strive to stay as organic as possible and the other immediate option I had was standard MG mix. I have to drive way out of town to find pro-mix. It's not completely terrible though. Salt, you may have awesome results. I have several jalapeno plants and watermelons in containers and they're producing like gangbusters.
