Poor quality

I bought this instead of Miracle Grow because it was instant savings. Members Mark is usually good. This was a mistake. There is a lot of small sticks in it and nothing to keep the soil moist. I have to water my planters every other day because the soil has dried out. Never had this problem with miracle grow. Also, I don’t think there is any time released fertilizer. This isn’t up to members mark quality. I will never buy again.

Won’t buy again….

Product was full of bark and larger debris making it difficult to use. I believe the bags I bought were infected with tiny bugs. Within days of transplanting seedlings and plants leaves all had tiny holes and tiny bugs buzzing around. I had to spray an insecticide to clear the issue. None of the pots where I used a bag of Miracle Grow had this issue.

Worst potting soil ever

This is the WORST!! I have bought my potting soil from Sam’s Club every year for at least 5 years but this has changed. It’s THE worst potting soil I’ve ever used. It’s been 4-6 weeks and most of my plants are struggling, I’m an avid gardener, plenty of experience, and I’ll never buy this again.

I needed six bags. Glad I only bought one.

Low quality mix. MANY large wood pieces over an inch in length and many more 1/8th to 1/4 inch in thickness.

Poor quality.

Mostly mulch; hardly any soil. I sifted the whole bag and ended up with mostly mulch. I would never buy this again.

Good potting soil - GREAT price!

Was so happy that Sam's has a substitute for Miracle Gro - not only a better price, but equal quality.
