This stuff is so amazing. You can smell the quality, lol. So lightweight and easy to use, and it makes a lot. But wow, the cost!
UPDATE: I used this by itself in bags and a few days later, my house stunk like you would not believe! Not the "earthy" smell when it was first mixed. The stink is not like anything I've ever smelled before, and impossible to ignore - it's a big, big stink! Did some interwebs research, and apparently this happens with high quality soil if it is not properly aerated. It is a heavy dense soil, so this makes sense. For anyone who reads this - mix vermiculite and charcoal into the soil before you use it indoors.

Beneficial as a soil additive, but too expensive to be used exclusively.
A while ago, I bought a bag of this compressed soil, put it away, and forgot about it. Recently, I found the bag and decided to hydrate it as an additive for the potting soil I use to help keep the soil from compacting. I grow almost all of our veggies in our basement, and use quite a bit of soil. Since I have been growing our veggies for over 5 years, and pots of older plants have been dumped on our 5-acre property, it has caused problems with piles of accumulation of the root filled soil and deteriorating vegetation.Since then, we have had most of the debris hauled away and I had to find a solution to prevent this problem from happening again. I had to figure out a way to reuse the soil from old and depleted plants. I use FoxFarm potting soils which is an excellent blend for potting soil, but it has been sterilized to eliminate bacteria, organisms, etc. When we grow veggies and other plants outdoors, we don't have to worry about the breakdown of roots or plant material from other plants. The microorganisms that are naturally in the soil break these down for use as nutrients for future plants.Although this compressed soil is much too expensive for me to use as soil for the volume of plants I grow, I decided to try it as an additive to my potting soil to add natural bacteria to soil I reuse. The first bag I bought, I poured into a 5 gallon bucket and 1/2 filled the bucket with water. Well, this turned out to be a 1/2 bucket of muck. So, I ordered another bag, and added this to the bucket. This worked well, and the result was 1/2 5 gallon bucked of hydrated soil additive that will encourage natural microbial growth in the soil. So far, my plan seems to be working.The mycorrhizae in this compressed soil is a root fungus that has a beneficial, or symbiotic relationship between a fungus and the roots of its host plant. This relationship is a natural infection of a plant’s root system in which the plant supplies the fungus with sugars and carbon and receives water and/or nutrients in return. This relationship expands the plants' root systems, increases nutrient and water uptake, and helps to prevent soil-borne diseases from propagating in your soil.The soil in my plants is not compacting and reusing the soil is working. When using this soil as an additive, you don't have to use a lot. The microbes will reproduce in the soil it is added to, and it doesn't require much of this to reduce compaction of the soil.So far, I like this compressed soil as an additive, but it is much too expensive to be used exclusively if you grow a lot of plants.I hope this review was helpful for you.
