Ready Roots is an aquatic potting mix developed for all water plants in ponds.
This media acts like thousands of tiny “sponges” to retain moisture, yet it won’t compact like other soils. It allows plants to absorb moisture and nutrients while promoting strong root development.
Light-weight and absorbent, it’s also perfect for container plants or for starting seeds. It works well to enhance garden soil, improving sandy soils and lightening clay soils.
A clean and high-grade media, it won’t dirty pond water. It’s also 100% fish safe.
