Overall Feedback:
75% positive
72% liked its excellent drainage properties, but 28% found it retained too much water
The soil didn't drain properly, causing the roots to rot and only two survived.
When I tried to soak the soil, water pooled at the top and did not drain into the bottom, indicating poor soil drainage.
73% appreciated its pleasant, earthy aroma, while 27% found it had an unpleasant odor
I did not mention anything about the odor of the garden-soil.
The soil does not function properly and is very strange.
I unintentionally killed several cacti using this soil.
I noticed that my potted plants were sitting in wet soil and starting to rot, even though I hadn't watered them for almost a week. This suggests that the soil has a bad odor.
