Should I Buy Organic Soil?

Purchasing organic soil

Organic soil helps the sprout to be green as well as toxic. The best way to get hold of organic soil is to buy organic materials and mix soil in your own garden. Organic farmers should keep pesticides and other unapproved synthetic substances off their land. The organic soil should be protected from chemical exposure for a number of years. However, finding a truly organic potting blend can be challenging. Always look for the soil that is "OMRI Listed" as OMRI is the Organic Materials Review Institute, a non-profit organization that evaluates organic products. The best bet is to make your organic blend at home rather than buying commercial blends. According to "Mother Earth News," homemade compost is the best alternative to expensive ingredients in commercial soil. You can even find potting mix recipes at ATTRA.
