I like the amount it brings in one bag. I just started my first ever greenhouse and this is enough for the amount of plants I have at the moment. I think this can last me a while maybe even until next spring. I like that it is light and fluffy but as soon as I water my plants it soaks it all in. I really enjoy this potting mix.

So far, so good-Outdoors gardens

Multiple gardens with variety of flowers & mint (trying to keep pests away). It has vermiculite (little white styro looking specks) that aerate the soil. When dry, it's light and fluffy, when wet, seems to hold the water around plant. So far, so good.

This potting mix offers incredible value for the price, especially considering the large 55-quart volume and the built-in 6-month fertilizer. It has a great consistency that manages moisture well, keeping my indoor and outdoor container plants thriving with very little effort.

The best

I love this potting soil. It's lightweight and it doesn't get compacted after watering like some potting soil mixes do. It's also easier to carry. I think I've purchased 7 or 8 bags at this point and if they still have it, when I run out I'll get more.

The Member's Mark Potting Mix is an absolute steal for anyone with a lot of ground to cover, as the bag is gigantic for the price and offers much more volume than standard garden center brands. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the mix, which I found to be a very decent, reliable medium for my plants. The texture was impressively light and fluffy right out of the bag, making it easy to handle and distribute without any heavy clumping. It provides a great balance of moisture retention and aeration that has kept my plants looking healthy and vibrant. If you are looking for a budget-friendly way to fill large containers or raised beds without compromising on a good growing environment, this is a fantastic option.

Excellent Garden Soil

Decided to raise a container garden after buying a nice trellised planter. Used the soil to plant cucumbers, Cherokee tomatoes, egg plant, yellow squash, bell and banana peppers, and a kiddie pool with watermolons and cantaloupes. All of my plants are thriving, growing, tomatoes already have small fruit, blooms everywhere. This soil is excellent!

This potting mix is a really good option, especially for the price! The quality is consistent and it works well for both indoor and outdoor plants. It holds moisture nicely without getting too soggy, which makes watering a lot easier. The bag looks like it will last a long time. Overall, a solid, reliable potting mix I'd definitely buy again.

This potting soil works well for me. I like that I can use it for both indoor and outdoor plants. I also enjoy the fact that I don't have to feed my plants for 6 months and it includes a moisture management formula to help the water be even on my plants roots.

Worst potting soil ever

On sale so thought I’d give it a try. Terrible soil, dry and mixed with many pieces of wood. Ended up dumping it out in the back of the yard. Checked the bags and they were dated Sept. 2025. Be wary of this product.
