New mix?

Seems like they changed the formula. Not as good as it used to be, with lots of chunks of un-composted wood in it. some plants are not thriving. Disappointed with this.

We&#39;re sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />While small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our growing media including potting soil, garden soil, lawn soil, top soil, etc., large pieces of wood or bark should not be found in the potting mix. Most of our soils especially potting mixes and garden soils are made of composted forest products and contain very little if any actual soil. Composted forest products provide high organic content and nutrients without the concern for soil compaction which often occurs with potting mixes composed primarily of actual topsoil. The coarser material allows for air to reach the roots of the plant which improves plant performance for years.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back.

My trusted brand

Good quality over all. I have use this brand for many years and have good results. I tried a LOT of other brands and keep going back to the one I trust. Miracle Grow moisture control is consistent quality.

Healthy, happy plants

Learned my lesson the hard way last year when I purchased an unfamiliar brand at the big box store and everything I used it for either died or failed to thrive. I've always had great results with Miracle Gro.

Worth it

I made the mistake of buying a store brand potting mix last year. Never again! This soil is worth every penny and especially at the great price at Sam's Club sells it for. My flowers grow exceptionally well with this soil.

Big wood chips chunck

It consist of wood chip and peat moss. But the wood chips are very big, not good for planting seeds or tender young seedlings. It needs to be sifted for these purposes.

Do NOT purchase!!

Total waste of money! Little white bugs all throughout the bag! I kept the bag in the box it came in, until my daughter could come help me repot my plants. She came up this weekend. We opened the box and then the bag, and bugs literally flew out at us and others were crawling in the bag. She had to take the bag down to the dumpster to get it out of my house. So disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The price of this product has recently increased, though I suspect through no fault of Walmart. The quality of the item was excellent, and as expected. I am satisfied with my pickup and overall experience utilizing the Walmart app.

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.

Dependable potting soil. Great price at Sam's

Every year I buy this Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil for flowers that I plant in pots outside. The flowers always seem to do well, and I like the idea that the soil is trying to help the flowers survive during the hot summer months when we sometimes have dry stretches. It's also supposed to protect from overwatering, so it is a "win-win." I usually sprinkle in a little Osmicote in the soil when I first plant my flowers. Try to keep an opened bag tightly closed so that the soil is still moist the next time you need it. I'm not sure how effective the drier/dried out soil from an opened bag is.
