Sunshine 4 Soil

suvoth · March 6, 2014

Hi guys,

New to the forums and extremely new to gardening. Planting in big 7.5 pots this year and wondered if anyone had tried Sunshine 4 soil?

Welcome to Tomatoville. Make sure you check out the container section. I'm sorry, but I can help you with the Sunshine for soil.

I had great results with Growers Gold last year, which seems to be made by the same people, its just tough to buy a lot at 9 dollars a bag.

my sunshine 4 cost $14.95 a bag and I had to buy 4 bags of 107L each I think. But so far, I really like it

I have used Sunshine mix, but where I live now I can't find it- I use ProMix from Lowe's- it comes in a 2.2cu.ft. bale for about $22- it is great for starting seeds and potting up.

Su....as posted on this site many times: drainability (porous) is the single most important feature of a container mix. Heavy-laden soils are not good in containers. Also, depending on the kind of maters you grow...bigger containers are always better (especially indeterminates). gl

Thanks. Quite happy with this soiless mix...seems to be very light and airy and works well
