Mostly wood chips. NOT soil.

Not real SOIL. Just a bag of dyed wood chips. Not the OLD quality Miracle Grow i used to love. Come on Miracle Grow, get back to basics. "QUALITY PRODUCT."

We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />Small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our soil. Consumers should not find large pieces of wood or bark. Composted forest products provide high organic content and nutrients without the concern for soil compaction. The coarser material allows for air to reach the roots.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Poor Quality

Bought this about 3 months ago. I will concur with some of the reviews about fungus and gnats (as the weather outside gets warmer). I guess you live and learn. Will not be purchasing this again.

Well, I bought Miracle-Gro because I already know that it's a top of the line potting mix. I haven't had this bag long enough to discover any surprises. : ) It's all I've expected!\n

Labeling interferes with price comparison

Beware. Some Miracle Gro packages are labeled by quart, some by cubic foot. There are 25 3/4 dry quarts in a cubic foot. Quite a difference! You need to know the equivalent and do your math. An 8 qt. Package is tiny. How about consistent labeling?

Good buy from walmart

Flowers in planters are all doing very well. I would suggest not using this mix to start from seed. Kept too wet and thick and most seeds didn’t make it. Same product was $30 at big box store, so we have that going for us.

White mold

I replanted 5 plants that were a gift all in one basket. I bought miracle grow potting soil and never overwatered and after a few days I had white mold in all the planters on top of the soil.

We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />Fungal spores are a natural part of soils. Under the correct conditions, spores can develop into fungus or mold. Our growing media products are not sterilized and may contain microorganisms such as fungus. In fact, fungus/mold has been scientifically proven to improve the growth of plants which is why we do not sterilize the soil. The fungus/mold only becomes a problem if there is an overgrowth. Overgrowth occurs when the soil is too wet. The mold and fungus that grow on soils are safe for people to be around, although, as always, we recommend you use gloves when handling. For soil that has not been used, allow it to dry out on some newspaper outside before using. For soil that has already been used, allow the plants to dry out a bit between waterings. This will not harm the plants.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Save your back,

I love being able to order these bags online! I have use them for my new deck garden, which consists of 20 plants in pots. I’m about to order some more bags for the last two very large pots.
