Default Sta-green brand flower and veg. planting mix?

There are a few different Sta-green products sold by Lowe's. I went to purchase some of their general purpose potting mix in 2.5 cu. ft. bags. None to be found at either store in town. Only had 32 qt. bags @ 7.32 a bag. I thought that was a bit high, as they were selling the big bags for around 11.00 earlier this year.

I noticed they had "flower and vegetable planting mix" in a yellow bag. 6.87 for 2 cu. ft.. The listed ingredients were very similar, can't remember if exactly the same. One thing I did notice was the label said that the flower and veg. mix was not recommended for container gardens. For the life of me, I can't figure out why?

My purpose is to mix this mix in the 3:2:1 ratio that Ray uses. I am wondering why this other wouldn't work. I had some here at the house (the flower veg. stuff), and it doesn't seem any different than any other potting mix as far as textures and density.
