Love this dirt. We'll buy it from here on out for most of my plants. You don't have to water your plants as much and it does Exactly what it says, One thing I learned After a while, it gets tucked down and you do have to loosen the dirt up other than that, it's great.Thank you miracle bro moisture control

I've bought several bags of this since it came out. Life gets hectic and sometimes I don't have time to water daily. It holds moisture so i might have droopy plants but not burned up. I've only had one bag that was poor quality out of all I've bought. Took me a little while to figure out why they were growing poorly despite fertilizing every couple weeks, but the rest were big and beautiful, with no extra fertilizer. Only difference was I finished one bag with 6 plants and the other 7 had the new bag.

Walmart advertised the potting soil for 5.55 and said it was reduced. The original price was 19.96, I thought I was getting a good deal!! Unfortunately when I got the bag of soil it was this tiny bag of potting soil!! If you can see where it says reduced from 19.96 to 5.55 it’s deceiving. For 19.96 I assumed it was a huge bag!!

This year I used two types of Miracle-Gro to compare results. I put soil for container gardening in one pot and moisture control in the other. I planted a tomato in each. The plant in moisture control was much larger and more productive the the other.

I used to love this potting soil. The bags that I purchased this time have a lot of Styrofoam and twigs in it. When i added the water to it, the bits of Styrofoam just float instead of mixing in. It makes the soil dry out quickly and i need to water more frequently even though this is supposed to be moisture control. It's just not as good as it used to be.

I will never buy Miracle-Gro potting soil again. The chemical stench of it gave me a headache. I even potted my plants outside because of the odor. My entire garage smelled for days because of using this potting soil. I don't know how dirt can smell this awful. I am afraid of what was in it and hope it doesn't poison my plants.

You will want a shopping cart for this to save your back on the way to the checkout because it's a big honking, heavy parcel. I couldn't wait to get this home to fill up a large plant pot which ended up being bigger than I expected when I started to fill it. Upon opening the bag, I noticed that it had a distinct smell...kind of an earthy aroma. On close inspection, the contents had a definite dark brown cast. Be careful when digging in to make sure you don't spill and mess up the floor as the particles are loose and tend to scatter. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate this product a ten on dirtiness. My plant seemed to be quite satisfied once it's roots were covered and water was added. I wasn't too concerned about underwatering, but even though it advertises that it protects against overwatering too, the water overflowed out of the saucer requiring an urgent run to find towels. Obviously there are limits to it's protective qualities so use your best judgement. Nonetheless, if you can hold onto the slippery bag to carry it into the house, it is a remarkable value for the money. I'll be sure to check back in to let everyone know if my plant reaches a record size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ….and believe me I use A LOT OF POTTING SOIL. I’m always planting something…vegetables, flowers etc….and I do lots in flower pots and large containers… this is the only mix I will use. It’s PERFECT!

My potting soil smelled really strong of petroleum. I bought another bag same kind of soil from a different store and it also smelled really bad like gas. I didn’t use either one as that can’t be good for your plants. Typically this would be my go to soil.

I love the fact that you can have this big bag of moisture-control potting soil delivered right to your door. You do get a very large amount of potting soil for your money. It is definitely a very good buy, especially if you consider the fact that if you have purchases totaling at least $35, then there is no delivery fee on it.
