Introduction

Building thriving soil starts at the foundation — and that foundation must support structure, biology, and long-term fertility. Royal Gold Planting Mix is crafted to do exactly that. Designed as a versatile, cost-effective, perlite-free medium, it’s well-suited for raised beds, in-ground gardens, landscaping, containers, and propagation.

With carefully aged forest materials and premium in-house processed coco, this mix adds organic matter, improves aeration, encourages beneficial microbial life, and helps gardens thrive season after season.

Why Gardeners Love Planting Mix

Perlite-Free Performance

A great standalone medium without perlite can be hard to find. This mix maintains natural aeration through aged forest products and coco, reducing reliance on mined perlite while still delivering breathability and drainage.

Encourages Microbial Activity

The organic inputs and aged carbon sources create an environment where beneficial microbes can thrive. Active soil biology = better nutrient cycling, stronger plants, and increased long-term fertility.

Builds Stronger Soil Over Time

With lignins, peat, carbon, and coco, the mix supports:

  • Improved soil texture
  • Larger + more resilient root systems
  • Sustained organic matter

This makes it ideal for gardeners focused on regenerative, living soil practices.
