Potting Soil . . . Fox Farms?

Has anyone used Fox Farms potting soil when re-potting, I've used it with other plants and was wondering how it is for figs.

I don't see why they wouldn't like it. 

Hi,
Is it loam ? Or something special ?
If it is loam you can use it whatever the brand.
 But just check that the loam no longer has decaying material like small branches.
Years ago I bought some cheap loam and the decaying process was not completely done, and that was a pain to use.
I used it to seed some tomatoes and the tiny roots would then find gaps in between the rotting branches and that killed most of them.
For figs it would probably not be a problem; I'm not risking it though.

Here's a description:

I saw that the other day at the grow store. Was thinking about it myself.. I may pick up a few bags just to try it out and see what happens. If I do I'll post the results here.
