Awesome faster healthier grow.
This product works better than I expected. I grow outside and I like to dig a hole in my garden put the ocean forest in and then plant my seedlings. My plants always grow twice as fast as my neighbors and are much healthier looking. I also get a better yield than my neighbors from all of my fruit bearing plants.Read full review

Fox Farm Ocean Forest - PURE GARBAGE -
Ocean Forest No Good ! it use to be a good soil but this is the 3rd straight time i bought it & it is very dense once water is added to it. i use breathable fabric pots & the soil is still water logged for days causing the roots to rot & or not grow at all because soil to thick & heavy. i used ocean forest for years before & it was great but they changed the contents for the worse! i know i can add perlite but i shouldn't have to because for years i never had to so don't buy. i will be looking for a better soil from now on, shame on fox farm for selling garbage. FYI i'm a 3rd generation grower so i think i know a little bit about soils & growing.Read full review

Great Soil with Pros & Cons
The pros are simply put it is great soil with the right amount of near everything and it's of nice fine sift. It's great for one go of 4 months or so.
After that it lacks slow release nutrients "that can be added" on the big con is "bugs" "larvae" this can be fixed with a bit of prep with neem oil and insecticidal soaps. Plenty of ways to fix but for the price... maybe should already be done. The only problem with the cost is that the distribution is scarce. Very much so in rural areas. It's a solid hour and 45 minute drive to my nearest dealer/carrier but if you take the trip and find one you'll be sour that the price on the 1.5 cubic feet bags are only $15.99 and that's full retail per one bag. They go on sale and offer discounts on larger purchases. I understand shipping costs. I only wish they would get this stuff in more locations. Tractor supply or Co-OP at least. It's a bit of a black market with a bug problem. I spray with neem oil and soap "notdawn" then flip the soil and repeat 3-4 times. I then let soil completely dry out again placing in extreme cold helps too. I then re-warm and re-wet with spring water adding bone meal, broke up organic jobes fertilizer sticks, blood meal plus perlite and vermiculite for drainage and anti packing properties and finally about 5 lbs or 6 gallons of cocoa coir.
Best soil I've personally ever used after a little prep work.
ps: the neem oil and soap will keep away the bugs gnats and larvae best part its completely natural and from a tree. Smells bad and I do not recommend during flowering cyclesRead full review

Great soil
I've tried several different types of soil for my indoor grow and this foxfarm ocean forest is by far the best soil for healthy fast growing plants. My plants are bigger bushier and I have cut the vegetative grow stage in half because the plants grow fast in this soil.Read full review

love this potting mix
By far the best potting soil I have used; vegetables, flowers, young trees, all thrive in this mix. I started using Foxfarm FX 14000 Ocean Forest Garden potting soil four, maybe five, years ago and do not regret the purchases; I am confident in growing all that is planted in this mix.Read full review

Great soil for special projects!
Very high quality potting soil. A bit expensive, but worth it for certain plants... Even has worm casings in it...
