It wouldn't be my first choice. It is really nothing more than an upscale version of Miracle Gro - i.e. peat-based. You are best served with something that is more bark than not.......like the 5-1-1. If you prefer to go with a packaged, already prepared mix then Fafard's Professional Potting Mix is much closer to the mark than most.

Should be available in NY.

Alright I will stay away from it. Which is the Fafard Professional Potting Mix on their site? http://www.sungro.com/professional-products/fafard/

It's called 'professional' but it is one of their retail products. Fafard's Professional Potting Mix

What about the ones for Cactus? They come in big bags at Lowe's and was intrigued by it a month ago since I had not seen Landscaper's Mix being sold there in my area for a year that I always use to make 5-1-1. I'm forced to try something else but so far, not as good. I'll try the Cactus potting soil and see how that goes.

I looked at the site for the fafards pro mix but it says wetting agent in the ingredients . Does anyone know what this is ?

It is used typically to offset the hydrophobic qualities of a dry potting soil. Organic wetting agents include yucca extract (very common) or other saponins. But there are also mineral additives that can be used to the same effect.
