Carnivore Mix
I really like this soil mix (50/50 or 60/40). Easy to pot up with just the right amount perlite mixed in for proper drainage. I live in zone 9 and my plants will love this soil mix

10/10
Perfect mix for VFT and sarracenia.

Bog soil
A basic standard carnivorous soil. The box was damaged, but the contents were not. This was not the fault of the shipper; I would blame the USPS. If they were plants, they would have been damaged.

60% perlite soil mix
This is the mix I use, as I live in the desert southwest. It promotes evaporation to help cool the soil (the plants will go under the 30% shade cloth in June). It was interesting to discover that a finer grade of perlite was used in the mix. I'm currently growing flytraps, sundews, and sarracenia in this mix, all are doing well.

SOIL, GENERAL MIX [GALLON BAG]
USDA Zone 6a-6b The mixed soil is rich and fresh and great to have on hand for future transplanting and for levelling the top soil after it rains.

A Go-to
for all my carnivorous soil needs. I'm so glad SNW now offers Ping soil! Not only is the quality of their soils so much better than other Carn online sellers, but the price is very reasonable. I also love that they offer different soil consistency for those that live in hotter climates. I've been using their soil for years and always have these on stand-by. Wish I could order more than 6 gallons at a time though but I'll take what I can get.

Soil for carnivorous plants
My order was processed and shipped out quickly. It arrived unscathed and is doing its job in my plant bog. Also, the videos provided by Sarracenia Northwest have been a tremendous help. Thanks!
