Why are black or darker soils and potting mixes preferential to lighter soils and potting mixes?
This is a common misconception; in fact the color or darkness of a potting soil or potting mix has nothing to do with its quality. Darkness in color of a potting soil or mix may be attributed to a variety of reasons such as degree of decomposition, source of the materials, or even from coloring that may be added to the product to make it look darker. No coloring is used in SEAGRO products.
