I potted up early with bagged potting soil, some higher end brand that I forget the name of. Something in it absolutely devistated my lavender and ornamental grasses, and everything else ended up with a plague of aphids. Black Gold I believe it was called.
Ended up saving some by removing all the soil and dousing them in copper sulfate, then dusted everything with dried pyrethrum flowers. So yeah, be careful with bags stored outside at big box stores.

Very good advice.

10-4! I'm getting more weary of that stuff as time goes on as it is. Decent for an established plant, but not for my babies.
