For Maximum performance on your EarthPlanters, we require a Soil-Less Growing Medium as your potting mix. Regular soil, bark, or compost-based mediums, etc., cannot be used as they interfere with the proper operation of the planter.
Have any questions on a potting mix? Please contact an EarthPlanter Representative prior to purchasing.
