Default Black area on my new bare roots, should I be worried?

Can I use a
Home Depot bought "Supersoil" mixture?


Although the name sounds really great, 'Supersoil' bought at home
depot is horrible awful crappy stuff. It is a fraud. Don't even
consider buying it. It is mostly uncomposted wood chips and is
actually detrimental to your plants. It sucks nitrogen out of the
soil in order to decompose the wood.

The stuff to get at home depot is EarthGro 'potting soil'. (2 cu ft
for $3.96 at my Home Deot). Probably the best deal I've seen out
there for quality potting soil.
