I don’t live near a Sam’s anymore so I had my son pick me up 6 bags. I have always used Miracle Grow Potting soil so I figured the Miracle-Gro Moisture Control would be ok and at the sale price it seemed like a bargain. This stuff is awful. I opened the bag and it smells of mold. It is in a big chunk which I had to break up with my hands to even be able to dip it out. The other reviews are right it is full of wood chips and other junk. I have always grown all my flowers and garden plants from seed. I grow well over 150 plants a year. Today I tried to transplant my zinnias to larger cups. I have done about 20 and feel so sick. My head is aching, eyes itching and throat burning. The mix is completely dry so I tried misting it with water as I used it. It didn’t help. Planting delicate little plants to this stuff is impossible. The thought of having to make a 200 mile trip to return this stuff doesn’t please me. My son was nice enough to get it for me. I am not about to ask him to return it. So I guess I will be making the long drive. I will use the one I opened outside in pots. This is going to throw me way behind in planting the rest of my seeds. I don’t know if Sam’s put this on sale to get rid of it because they knew it was old or if the product is just no good. I should have read the more current reviews before I bought this stuff. I am very disappointed and will never buy this product again.

I bought this to repot my beautiful Peace Lily, Palm Tree, Purple Passion, Philodendron Micans, Philodendron Lemon Lime and my 8 year old White Bird of Paradise plants. After 10 days, my plants started showing signs of sickness. I thought that was very odd. So, I I loosened the soil on my Bird of Paradise and 100s of gnats and tiny flies erupted from the dirt. I screamed like I was in a movie! I prepared a tea tree soap solution with Bronners for the other plants and they were infested really bad as well. I have been bombing my house. The unused bag is outside on the porch waiting for garbage pickup! I loss my Peace Lily, Purple Passion, White Bird of Paradise and the others I'm attempting to save! I'm calling Miracle Gro!

I bought this because Miracle Gro Moisture control has always been very pure & holds moisture. I finished off my old bag, showing dark dirt with white fertilizer balls, and opened my new bag I bought from Sam's Club. The new stuff is junk!! Mostly sticks, which I DID NOT WANT!!! Very little dirt or fertilizer. I tried adding a picture showing comparison, but wouldn't let me add to images.

Have used this product many times in the past
