    Oh Yay! I love the TAGRO potting mix. I’ve been using it for years — making special trips to the treatment plant to pick it up. Glad to know that we can now get it at some of the hardware store too!

    When I wake up in the middle of the night with an urge to plant something, I am comforted to know that TAGRO Is available at Tacoma Boy’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for most of the year.

    Just topped my roses with some of the potting soil last week, and once a retaining wall is completed in the back, I’ll be using it for the starts we plant.

    Wonderful product for growing things, and I’m happy it’s sourced locally.

    TAGRO is made from sewage sludge. This compost can legally contain 41 mg/kg of arsenic, 39, of cadmium, 17, of mercury, 300, of lead,
    1,5000, of copper, 420, of nickel, and 2,800, of zinc, molybdenum, as well as antibiotic resistant pathogens, as well as thousands of unregulated toxic organics, some of which are toxic, and damage organisms in very small amounts. Tacoma residents would be better off to make their own backyard compost or purchase composts free of industrial chemicals. Certainly sludge composts should never be used for vegetable gardens.

    The data and the research done by the TAGRO folk is pretty darn solid.

    This is a class A product. I have yet to see an educated gardener disagree with the safety and quality of this product.
