FlytrapStore Growing Medium - Venus fly trap soil

Product Review (submitted on September 7, 2011):

Okay, so at first I was thinking "hmmm, seems a bit pricy". I then went to all my local gardening stores in search of horticulture grade sand, perlite and pete moss in the hopes of making my own for cheaper. I live in an apartment, not a farm, so space is limited. In order to make it cost effective I had to buy each of the items in mass bulk which I don't have room for. I ran some numbers and it would end up costing my the same amount if I were to just buy it from FTS. Also, the shipping is included!

When I got the box of soil I didn't think it would last very long, but I have been potting new plants constantly and it's barely made a dent in the amount of soil I got.

Also, I can sleep at night knowing that all the ingredients are tried and tested with great results. If I were to make it on my own, I know I would stress myself out wondering if it was a good grade of pete moss etc.

Anyway, totally worth the price! My plants are growing like weeds in it.
