I'm so sorry but this soil is not up to par. Moisture Management is not like Miracle Grow Moisture Control. More sticks and wood than I care to mention. Does not hold moisture at all. Not up to my expectations.

I have been very pleased with this potting mix. The quality is great and it holds up just as well as the higher end brands. It is always fresh and the bags hold a lot.

This is great potting soil! It's soft yet compact and has a nice texture to it. It's easy to plant and spread. I found using a plastic cup did the trick and I could move it around and spread it. Very high quality product

Great price for the quality and amount you get. Super easy to use, no weird smells. It is a lightweight and suitable for both indoor and outdoor plants. I just planted herbs, veggies, and flowers, and I'm excited to see them thrive.

Potting mix comes in a big bag perfect for indoor and outdoor container plants. This will help get my pants ready for spring. I have some plants that need repotting so this is perfect. Feeds the plants for up to 6 months which is great.

This stuff is aweful

I’ve always used Miracle‑Gro Moisture Control with great results, but when Sam’s stopped carrying it, I picked this up as a replacement. It’s honestly terrible. The quality isn’t even close — the texture is off, it doesn’t hold moisture properly, and my plants have struggled ever since switching. I won’t be buying this again.

Very poor potting soil

Bought this because my club did not have Miracle Grow potting soil this year, and boy, did I come to regret this! Soil is full of big wood chips. Plants grow very slowly and seem stunted. I did some research and I think it is because of all the wood chips, which apparently ties up all the nitrogen in the soil, leaving none to fuel plant growth. I won’t buy next year.
