Sadly the rumors are true and it comes with ghats. I really didn't think it was possible but sadly now my room is covered in gnats and by plants are likely going to die and my expensive seeds are going to be wasted. Not just that but there's a layer of what looks like algae growing on the top later because it never ever dries.. How is that even possible?

I have used MG moisture control for several years. In 2023 I bought a few bags that were very poor quality, but this year I tried again as usually this is a great mix. Early spring the several bags of MG moisture control were once again great. So in May I bought 5 more which are junk. Simply wood that’s shredded, soaked and a tiny bit of white bits. The plants in this poorly composted mess have either died or grown poorly. This is more like mulch. Seems they run out of the good stuff and replace it with unfinished product charging the same price. I’m switching brands, way expensive and worthless. Check the bags before you take them home. Such a disappointment.

I purchased another brand of soil that was organic...but was full of bugs...I had to repot every plant and wash the roots....I bought this one to replace the previous product and so far, I am happy with this one....I just needed a basic potting soil for house plants and this one fits the bill!

I purchased this potting mix for my fairy garden and didn't want a lot of twigs and other stuff that I have found in some potting mixes. It was perfect for the tiny plants I planted in the garden and they are thriving very nicely. The accessories sit nice and even on top of the mix. It was nice not having to pull twigs out of this mix. I would buy this potting mix again.

I've always used this brand of soil and never had a problem until this year. I planted some flowers, lettuce, and tomatoes in containers this summer and all of a sudden noticed that there was worms eating all the leaves of my plants. I thought that they could have just migrated somehow to my second story balcony. I used some water and vinegar and they went away. A week later I go out and ALL the flowers were eaten and more worms had returned. I repeated the water and vinegar and bought an organic pesticide and got rid of them again. In this time I had recently transplanted some cilantro I had growing in the aero garden and this plant NEVER went outside. Guess what? A few week later I found a caterpillar on the cilantro! IN THE HOUSE!! Thank goodness it was just 1 and he didn't do much damage. A few weeks later however ALL 3 pots of my lettuce were completely destroyed because it seems now EVERYTHING was re-infested. I started to do some research and I did indeed find many caterpillar eggs in the soil. I thought it was some kind of fertilizer. About 3 days ago after (all I have left is two tomato plants) I found a huge caterpillar about 3 inches long just hanging on a branch. I collected it and did some research. It turns out to be an apple sphinx moth caterpillar (http://bugguide.net/node/view/41976). How awful it is that almost everything I grew got eaten by caterpillars that were hatched in the soil I bought. In essence, I paid for the plants and I paid to have them destroyed. I will NEVER EVER buy this substandard soil again.

it has my tomatoes nice and green and it holds moisture

Very friendly cashiers always ready to help.

This is a great multipurpose potting soil.

It works well! There are not pieces of wood chips in it!

love the Cottage Grove Walmart Garden center. i wish they would have the gates open
