You've got your Watters Potting Soil, a fine, all-purpose mix, and then there's cactus mix. Now, why would you choose the cactus mix over the Watters blend? It boils down to one simple thing: drainage.

Cactus mix is designed for plants that thrive in arid conditions. Think succulents, cacti, and even some herbs like rosemary and lavender. These plants are adapted to dry, sandy soils and hate sitting in water. If you use a standard potting soil, like Watters Potting Soil, which retains moisture beautifully for most plants, you're setting yourself up for root rot.   

Cactus mix is formulated with a higher percentage of sand, perlite, or pumice. This creates a very porous environment, allowing water to drain quickly and air to circulate freely around the roots. It mimics the natural conditions these plants are used to, preventing those soggy, waterlogged roots.   

So, Cactus Mix is the way to go if you're working with cacti, succulents, or any plant that prefers dry feet. It's not about being better than the other; it's about choosing the right soil for the right plant. You wouldn't wear hiking boots to a swimming pool, would you? Same principle applies here.

Well made brackets
Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack, Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack
These are nicely manufactured in that they are all exactly the same (with no variations) and with nice countersunk holes for the provided black flat head wood screws. I used a stained 1x12 #2 whitewood (Eastern Pine) from Lowes for the shelves. With these brackets solidly installed into wall studs at 32" on center (every other stud) the 1x12 shelf will easily support a heavy book load. I like the look better than the brackets that have the vertical leg below the shelf. It looks a lot cleaner. It is probably inevitable that your stud layout will result in a bracket or two needing to be installed between solid wood studs. In this case, do NOT use the sheetrock wall anchors provided with the brackets as they will pull out of the wall under an appreciable load. Instead, get some "Snaptoggle" toggle bolts and replace the provided bolts with #10-24 x 1.25" flat head machine screws in black. These toggle bolts are incredibly strong and easy to install. I am adding a postscript to my review regarding bracket spacing recommendations. With a heavy book load, the 1x12 shelf boards don't sag with the brackets spaced 32" apart, however I have found that the brackets themselves are overstressed by about 30% (they are only rated at 80# each.) Heavy books weigh up to about 36# per lineal foot so the maximum spacing of the brackets should be 24" apart. At 32" apart, they won't pull out of the wall if they are fastened into studs but they will sag a little bit back to front under this load. So I added additional brackets in between the installed brackets and now they are 16" apart at the heavy book shelf. The load on each bracket is now less than 50# but they STILL sag about 3/16" from back to front when loaded with books! No danger of structural failure and the sag is not really noticeable.

Very sturdy and all hardware needed
Size: 9.25”, Color: black-12 pack
These brackets are very sturdy and came with all the hardware needed, including two types of wall anchors if you won’t be going through a stud, and a magnetic level which was very useful. Would recommend.

Haven’t used them yet but they look really nice and good quality—didn’t realize that they come with a small level which is really cool.
