I bought a large bag of organic garden soil. But what I really need is potting soil for my citrus trees.
Should I go return the garden soil?
or is there anything I can do to make my garden soil become potting soil?

Go back and say you need potting soil

Hi,
Before you make the trip to exchange the soil, call to find out if it would be a wasted or good trip to make. Will they do an exchange? Is it necessary? The potting soil is probably a lighter mix and suited for indoors. You may be able to use the organic soil in your garden. Also, it may have more weed seeds.

The organic garden soil is made of organic materials, such as, manures, leaves, mulch ect. in the already broken down stage. Potting soil is made of peat, vermiculite and sand, with nutrients added. I’m sure the organic garden soil will work as good as the potting soil.

You can use it, but you might want to get some peat to throw in the pot to keep the soil lighter and more aerated.
