Not as described

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!!

Great Potting Soil at a Savings

The potting soil is light and contains very few sticks and very little bark. It appears there is quite a bit of peat moss in the mixture. It has adequate amounts of Perlite. It seems to hold water fairly well, without staying too wet. It absorbs water quickly. It seems to have about the right amount of fertilizer. I do not have experience with it long term.

This is great for Boston ferns. I've used this the past 2 years and the Boston ferns are bigger and fuller than using regualr potting soil and adding feeder every 2 weeks.! They look so healthy! And I find I don't have to water them as often. Highly recommend!

BAD SMELL!!!!!

Dislike. The smell is like something that is rotten or moldy. I opened the bag and put it in the sun to see if it would help but it didn't. I used the soil for one inside large plant and the whole room smelled bad. I could have bought a cheaper potting soil but I went with the name that is suppose to mean something.

We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />One thing you can try to help with a strong odor is to add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to a quart of water and use that mixture when watering your plants. This will not harm the plants but will help mask and neutralize the odor. The odor should go away after about a week or so.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist.

Potting mix Miracle-Gro

Great brand with super results. My indoor plants had been on the decline. I'm not particularly a green thumb person. I water properly, but I was unaware that the soil that your plants are bought in won't remain healthy longer than a season or two. I purchased this soil in fire hopes of saving their lives, and under intensive care, I was able to revive them to their former glory. And Note: Simply changing the soil will not revive all plants. They need as much care as a toddler would, and that's what makes it fun for myself.

Will use only Moisture Control in the future.

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.

Looks like it is going to take care of the problem

After a small home addition, I ordered topsoil to finish up the surrounding lawn, but I received mostly sand. The lawn did great each spring, then turned brown rapidly in the summer even with extensive watering. The Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Garden Soil was a little damp but was not in hard clumps. I could make it loose soil by working my hands through it quickly, which I then sprinkled over the grass a couple of times, using just enough to not completely cover up the grass blades. I did the same on other small patches of lawn that tended to brown up quickly. So far the lawn looks much better even with the hotter July weather. Was cheaper than other options.

I am so disappointed it's something from Miracle-Grow that is such poor quality for my plants. I thought I was buying potting soil not a bunch of wood chips and filler. is dried out in the bag it was so bad and so thick full of filler product. waste of money.
