FoxFarm Original Planting Mix is the company’s very first blend and still a favorite among gardeners who “don’t treat their soil like dirt.” Crafted with aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss and earthworm castings, it creates a rich, loose texture that cradles roots, holds moisture and stays airy even after repeated watering. The addition of bat guano, dolomitic lime and oyster shell provides a gentle nutrient charge of 0.20‑0.40‑0.05 (N‑P₂O₅‑K₂O), plus calcium for strong cell walls and balanced pH. Because the mix is fully amended and pH‑buffered, you can plant straight from the bag: work a 3–6 inch layer into new garden beds, top‑dress established plantings, or fill raised beds, tree holes and rose borders without further additives. Fox Farm’s product line is quite extensive so if you want to boost your plant’s growth further it’s worth taking a look at their Beastie Blooms or Cha Ching nutrient blends.
