Call this mulch, not potting mix
Big chunks of wood and sticks, plus lots of sand. This is the worst potting mix I've ever seen.

The use of aged wood fines is more common in organic soil mixes than conventional synthetic soil mixes. It mimics the natural and organic activity that occurs on the forest floor. For nearly 100 years, we have used fully composted aged wood fines in our soil mixes for three reasons – Better soil structure with its slightly larger particle size helps air and water penetrate deeper into the soil, allowing for better root development and overall plant health – Excellent food source for beneficial soil microbes which help plants resist pests and disease – A more sustainable resource benefiting the environment. No doubt, it does look different than conventional synthetic peat-based soil mixes.

Stunted seedlings
This is doing very badly in comparison to other seed starting mixes I am testing for tomatoes. The seedlings are stunted. I haven't fertilized them yet, but even the yellow promix soil that contains no fertilizer isn't stunted like this.

Not for me. Mostly composting wood. Definitely needs to be added to equal amounts of another houseplants soil.

Not good for seedlings
Turned most of my seedlings yellow when I transferred them. Don’t ruin it like I did!

Poor Choice for Seedlings
I started some tomato and pepper seedlings and transferred them into either this or a more purpose specific seed starting mix. The plants in this soil are struggling and appear over fertilized, while the plants in the other soil are growing steadily larger. Pic for reference, with both plants being Black Krim tomatoes started on the same day.

I love the composition of the material. I use it with other soils for potting plants. It helps with drainage.

Hydro Crunch Coco Coir Blocks are composed of 3 different types of compressed coco coir. This high quality, low sodium growing medium is an alternative to sphagnum peat moss. When hydrated with water, the blocks rapidly expand which saves you time and effort. Hydro Crunch Coco Coir growing mediums can be exclusively used by themselves, blended together or mixed with our Hydro Crunch expanded clay pebbles, perlite or topsoil.
Repot into Noot Mix to keep your indoor plants alive and thriving. Our unique soilless potting mix developed by a rare plant seller dramatically increases plant growth, helps avoid overwatering issues, and eliminates common problems you may experience with typical potting soils. Noot Mix combines the perfect proportions of coconut husk, chips, and fibers blended with coarse perlite, that make roots go crazy with perfect airflow. Noot Mix also comes soaked with Noot bio-organic plant food (NPK .10/.15/.12). This newly improved gentle yet robust fertilizer formula has sourced the highest quality strains of beneficial bacteria and friendly fungi, that strengthen indoor plants at their cellular level by forming a symbiotic relationship with roots. These active microbial helpers get to work after just one watering, unlike cheaper powders which require re-animation and longer times to populate before they get to work. Noot Mix comes pre-hydrated and ready to use out of the bag, but when it comes time to water again simply mix 1 tsp of Noot per 1/2 gallon. This potting mix will continually thrive as a bio-active ecosystem that produces rapidly growing roots, brighter blooms, and lusher leaves. Indoor plants become more tolerant of root rot, bounce back quicker from neglect, and have an increased resistance to temperature swings. Noot makes it organically simple to grow your green thumb.
