Nectar for The Gods Potting Soil Blend #8 | 1.5cu ft

High-Drainage Potting Mix for an Aggressive Daily Feed Pace, 1.5cu ft

Some feeding schedules move faster than a standard potting mix can drain, and standing moisture from daily feeding can work against root health if drainage doesn't keep pace. Nectar for the Gods Potting Soil Blend #8 takes the same ingredient base as Blend #4 and adds 50% perlite, increasing drainage enough to support a daily feeding routine.

This 1.5 cubic foot bag suits growers running a daily feeding pace who need faster drainage than Blend #4 alone provides.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Blend #8 different from Blend #4?

It shares the same ingredient list as Blend #4, with 50% perlite added for increased drainage. That makes it suited to a faster, more aggressive daily feeding pace than Blend #4 is built for.

What's in this mix?

Like Blend #4, it includes sphagnum peat moss, coir fiber, pumice, and mycorrhizal fungi, with the coir fiber rinsed on-site with Oregon rainwater and buffered with limestone. The added perlite is the only meaningful difference from Blend #4's base recipe.

Why does it rest before shipping?

As with Blend #4, this soil sits unwrapped and covered for up to 30 days after bagging to activate, compost, and go dormant, which avoids shipping a hot soil that could stress young roots. Growers should expect a similar rest period to Blend #4 rather than a faster turnaround.

Can I feed this daily?

Yes, the added perlite is specifically meant to support daily feeding by keeping drainage ahead of a frequent watering schedule. Without that extra perlite, a daily schedule risks waterlogging the root zone.

Should I choose Blend #8 or Blend #4?

Choose Blend #8 if your feeding schedule is aggressive enough that standing moisture is a concern; choose Blend #4 if a standard, less-perlite-heavy mix already drains fast enough for your routine. Both blends share the same core ingredient list, so the decision comes down to drainage need.
