Not happy with this soil at all. I purchased this as a potting soil to start my vegetable seeds. It is more like a garden soil. Full of wood chips. Now I am going to have to replant my seeds. I will be buying miracle grow brand this time. I would return but it would be a pain to return a huge bag of opened soil.

I've used this potting mix for a couple plants so far and it seems to be working well. The wetting agent seems to help with watering in the fact that I don't have to water as often. Sometimes it seems like you get a bunch of filler in potting mixes, but this one has a great consistency. I haven't noticed a lot of twigs and junk that shouldn't be included in my potting mix.

This has worked great for us. Plants are happy, the mix has a great texture, and no quality issues. I recently purchased several bsgs of this one week, and then the big brand soil the next week when it was on sale. I truly thought they would be similar, but the Members Mark mix was superior in texture, which was fine and lightweight. The other had sticks and larger chunks of non-composted material. I'm curious to see if I will see a difference in growth once the plants are further along.

Why so many “incentive”reviews from freebee receivers or “field agents”? Please offer what customers want! Sam’s has had Miracle Grow Potting Mix with Moisture Control for many years until this happened!!! I have a commercial greenhouse and although this may make Sam’s more money, I want the name brand potting soil that I always send my customers to Sam’s to buy. Miracle Grow Potting Mix with Moisture Control is the real stuff, not this! It is made to look like a Scott’s product, but it is produced by Pennington which is an inferior product. Clearly all these free sample reviews are here to bolster the feedback.

Our experience is similar to others...So much wood chips to soil ratio that this would be better marketed as mulch. When we super-saturated the product, enough wood chips floated to the surface that we could top off the entire bed with the chips, and then some.

This is by far my favorite potting mix. It is the best price in our area and we had great success for growing potatoes in buckets and seed starting with it last year! It is nice and loose, but holds water fairly well and isn't mostly sticks like some others I have used.

I purchased 5 bags of this for my container garden. The mix in each bag smelled moldy although I didn’t see any mold. I used it anyway but I don’t know how my plants will do in it. There were lots of large pieces of bark in it. I don’t think I’ll use it again.

No way is this product potting soil. It looks like half rotted compost that needs another year. It’s so full of sticks there is no way you can plant a small seed in a starter pack. Just too much wood in the way. No detectable vermiculite or other additive. Stick with the brand name. You’re wasting your money on this overpriced stuff whatever it is. Wish I could post a picture of what it looks like in a tray of starter packs

I've never tried this product before. I've always bought another brand that is way more expensive. It is very comparable. It has the watering beads that i like, although not as many as the expensive brand. It was super lightweight to tote around which is helpful. I will purchase again.

This is pure black potting soil!! It smells amazing, black dirt that I grew up with. The package is super large, you get a lot of it. I just planted my spring plants in the pitting soil , and will update as the plants grow. I’m so excited to watch the seeds grow!!!
