Bestwest Planting Mix
A structured aged-bark outdoor nursery medium—not a blueberry-only mix.
BestWest serves broad outdoor woody, conifer and native container production. Specialty Soils has also seen it perform well with blueberries, but that first-party observation does not redefine the product as a blueberry-only medium.
- Aged-bark structure for outdoor container production
- Broad role across woody crops, conifers, natives and appropriate acid-loving crops
- Specialty Soils has observed good blueberry performance in company experience
