My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mold and Mildew

14 years ago

I have a plastic container with sifted soil. When the container was opened you could see a slight green tinge on the edges and bottom and smell mold and mildew.Water had some how got in the container.

Most of the soil is #8844 NAPA and chicken grow grit.

The organics had not been added yet.

Can this soil be saved and used or should it be thrown away???
