A complete potting mix, peat-free and OMRI listed for organic use. Plentiful is the best soil for organic and sustainably minded gardeners. This growing media is lightweight, and significantly less dusty than traditional soil mediums. Plentiful is also the cleanest, most consistent soil on the market, with no pathogens, weed seeds or other heavy metals and harmful ingredients and every batch is tested to ensure quality and optimal performance. PittMoss Plentiful is a soilless potting mix that also requires significantly less water and applied fertilizer because of its ability to retain and better manage applied resources, evenly distributing them throughout the porous particles to be more available to the plant’s roots. PittMoss Plentiful is the best soil with high amounts of readily available carbon, perfect for creating a living soil environment that is chalk-full of soil biology! Plentiful is a great all-purpose organic potting mix perfect for raised beds, vegetable gardening, indoor plants, and anywhere else you would use traditional potting mix.
How it’s Made: Plentiful is made from PittMoss’s proprietary and revolutionary recycled paper fiber. PittMoss engineers this fiber to have incredible properties that allows plants to grow big and strong, even under stressful conditions. This revolutionary product is the most sustainable and high-performing growing media on the market made 100% in the United Sates. PittMoss sources all paper ingredients from local recycling facilities and hand sorts each batch to ensure zero contaminants. Each batch is hand sorted and processed in Ambridge, PA using PittMoss’s custom and patent-pending machinery. PittMoss conducts extensive testing on each batch, and proudly shares information on heavy metals and more with the public and as requested.
Ingredients: 99% PittMoss paper fibers, with organic bark. This blend is fortified with poultry manure, bovine compost inoculates, and feather meal to provide a slow, consistent nutrient source and encourage healthy soil biology. pH balanced and easily adjusted for specific plant needs.
NPK: N (0.176%) P (0.100%) K (0.024%). When applying additional fertilizer, PittMoss recommends a quality, high-nitrogen fertilizer that is not urea based. For example, we suggest products like Espoma Grow! or fish emulsion

Really love the Plentiful! Using to start tomato seedlings, and was a little worried at first when they did not germinate as quickly as I was expecting. Was lucky enough to listen to Dr. Bethke give a talk and answer questions in a JoeGardener class. Followed his advice on water management and let the seedlings' pots dry out a bit - within a few days all the seedlings started popping up!! The little tomato plants are taking off (already 2-3in tall), sturdy with good color - YAY! Thank You for making such a great product!
I like the concept but I haven’t had good success with just pittmoss on its own.
Overall good experience. Seedlings are growing well. I mixed in organic compost to make my bag of pittmoss last longer. I’m committed to finding peat free growing alternatives and pittmoss will have its place in my peat free growing medium rotation.
Since I'm in Western NY, I'm still waiting to put this product into my cold frame. However, Joe Lampl's trial for Master Seed Starting students demonstrating & comparing various seed starting products convinced me to purchase Plentiful.
I tried the Plentiful, at different ratios of potting mixes, with great results. At Joe Lamp'l's recommendation, from his on line course, I could share photos, but not allowed. will definitely buy again. Ordering now.
Unless you have really poor water quality, it is not necessary to adjust the pH of your tap water...
