I just retrieved a small bag of "Schultz Professional Potting Soil Plus (for African Violets & Flowering Plants)" from my garage.
Both mass and volume are specified. It says "Net Wt. 1.9 LBS (870 g)" and "Net contents 4 Dry Qt (4.4 L)." The first is on a stick-on label. I peeled it off, revealing "Net Wt. 2.4 lb (1.09 kg)," which was obviously an erroneous value. The Schultz Company is in Bridgeton, Missouri. As far as I remember, I bought it at Home Depot. (Crazy thought: Would Schultz Amateur Potting Soil be cheaper?)
