Aldi does sell potting soil, but it is not the best quality. It is often dry and sandy, and does not hold nutrients well. However, it is inexpensive and can be used in a pinch. For better results, it is best to mix Aldi potting soil with another brand.

Why do I need potting soil?

I need potting soil because it is full of nutrients that plants need to grow. It also helps to hold moisture and keep the roots of my plants healthy. It is also important for drainage and aeration.

How do I pot plants using potting soil?

When potting plants, it is important to use potting soil rather than garden soil. Garden soil is too dense and can cause problems for plants, including compaction and poor drainage. Potting soil is lighter and fluffier, and allows for better root growth and drainage.

To pot a plant using potting soil, start by filling a pot with soil. Leave room at the top of the pot for water. Gently tap the pot on the ground to settle the soil. Next, make a hole in the center of the pot large enough to accommodate the plant's root ball. Carefully remove the plant from its current pot and place it in the hole. Fill in the hole with potting soil, gently pressing the soil around the plant. Water the plant well and place it in a bright location.
