## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much soil in quarts**
A: It's roughly 42 wet quarts in a 40 lb bag.. I measured this several times. It takes 21 wet quarts to fill a vivosun 5 gallon fabric grow bag so a  40 lb bag is enough for two 5 gallon pots

**Q: I saw a video that said always used sterilized soil.....if so, how does Ocean forest stack up?**
A: If you are looking for something that is "Sterilized" You should make sure it is listed in the product description and title.Ocean Forest is a very clean and organic soil that works great.

**Q: how many 2 gallon pots will it fill**
A: It will probably fill 5-6 2 gallon buckets. 1-1/2 cubic feet comes out to about 11.5 gallons.

**Q: How can Amazon.com expect to sell this at $24.37 when I can get it locally for $11.95-19.99?**
A: I just called my local small garden center and they carry the 1.5cu ft for 19.99+tx. I'm sure the "free" shipping is factored into the online price. 40 pounds is pretty heavy to be mailing out for "free". As for bugs, if it's a sealed bag then there shouldn't be a problem. Last year I purchased a bag of Nature's Care that had some air holes in it by design. It was stored outside at HD. My first grow had gnats, but months later the following grows did not. YMMV.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My plants love this soil
*by G***A on January 2, 2026*

I love this soil, so does my plants and garden. It's light and airy with great nutrients.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great soil!
*by M***N on December 19, 2025*

I've used this soil blend for years. It works great! The soil is balanced, and you can use it for anything you'd like to plant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plants LOVE this stuff!
*by M***C on July 31, 2025*

If you're growing anything that fruits - GET THIS! Seriously, this stuff is magical or something. I'm an entry-level gardener at best, but this soil makes me look like a pro! The plants love the nutrition they get from this soil! It's super easy to use, no mixing, no fussing, just add your plant. Water retention is great! So, if you have something more prone to root rot, add some extra perlite/larger media. My plants exploded in size when they started to uptake the nutrient in this soil. They grew twice their original size in a matter of 2 weeks! I added about 1 cubic foot of this soil under my roses before I planted them outside. This soil retains the water they need down deep to promote very healthy roses! I will definitelt buy some more when the need arises! Top quality soil!
