Chemical Stench

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.

Wet soil is in HEAVY!

Be aware that these one cubic foot bags of potting soil can weigh 40 lb each if they are wet. I ordered lots of them for my garden club, and was disappointed that it was such a struggle to move them. They came from somewhere in Florida and must have been stored outside, exposed to rain. Even the boxes were collapsing because they were so wet.

FUNGAL GNATS in MiracleGro Moisture Control twice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two bags of cu ft. sized MiracleGro Moisture Control soil FULL of fungus gnats! Opened up the bag the same day I got them from the store, not shipped, and fungus GNATS flew out! INFESTED 2 cu. ft., disgusted! Contaminated and unusable! That's $17.98 of destruction and infestation to deal with even without putting into pots because they're loose here now. I need not only a refund but damages. Very angry as this is the 2nd time I've bought this brand from the same store and the first had the gnats in egg form apparently, that came out within about a week of using. This time they'd already reached adult stage so I didn't pot with them but have to fumigate all the same, as well as search for new soil to use in new plants needing planting asap. I've read at least 6 other reviews with this problem, and 2 instances myself. I've had enough!

We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />Insects could not survive the composting and packing process. However, it is possible for them to enter the bag during shipping and storage. Insects may also come in with the soil of transplanted plants or enter through cracks, crevices, open windows or doors simply looking for a suitable environment.<br /><br />The small flying insects are likely fungus gnats. These insects do not harm humans and do little plant damage (they primarily feed on the fungus found naturally in soil), but can be a nuisance. A possible way to control fungus gnats includes allowing the soil to dry out as much as possible between watering, which will help control the larvae. Also, you can try applying at least 1/2 inch of horticultural sand on top of the soil of potted/container plants; the larvae cannot burrow through the sand and will die.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products.

Miracle-Gro Moisture Control IS the Best!!

This is the ONLY potting soil I will use. It really does what the package indicates. I use a moisture meter anyways, but I find out that I don't water my indoor plants as often as I used to. It is definitely moisture control! I highly recommend this potting soil.

Excellent coice for growing your indoor garden!

This potting soil is a great item to have on hand for all of your at home gardening needs. I have used this product for any and all of my houseplants and every one of them has thrived. The soil mix is an excellent combination that retains just enough moisture (but not too much!) for heathy plant growth. There is no need to worry about overwatering, the mix is perfectly proportioned to give any plant variety just what is needed for heathy growth. It is perfect for even starting new cuttings and is lightweight enough to not damage tender new roots. Perfect item for novice or experienced gardeners alike. You will be very pleased with your results.

Not satisfied !!!

This item was shipped to me in poor condition. The driver lied and said it was delivered to my front door when it was not. It was left on the sidewalk - 2 sets of steps away from the front door. In addition - the driver included a photograph that was just a black square. The soil was so wet and heavy that 2 people had trouble getting it to the door. The soil is still not dried out so unable to use. I will not purchase this item again from Walmart.

Great Product for Growing Plants

This is my second purchase of Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix. I make my own soil for my flowers, vegetables and herbs. I discovered this product while watching a YouTube video about creating successful hanging baskets and knew this was what I needed for my soils. Most people think dirt is dirt, but I have been going to workshops about how to grow healthy plants and make sure that they have all the nutrients that they need. It can be daunting , but this potting mix makes a great base for my plants.
