Potting Soil Doesn't Meet High Quality Standards

The quality is not there. Too many large particles. The results of our plants are not nearly as good. Bring back Miracle Gro Potting Soil with moisture control and for a good price. You should be ashamed of putting your name on this product.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. This mix is a premium blend of peat, composted softwood bark, composted forest products, perlite, fertilizer, and a wetting agent. The mix should contain smaller bark pieces to aid aeration and plant stability. If you’re seeing anything different, please call us at 1-800-285-7333, and our team will be happy to help resolve the issue.

Potting soil

This seems like a very good potting soil. Color is rich and has fertilizer mixed in. After repotting some house plants, they seem to be doing good and thriving. When all of this bag is used, I would definitely buy again.

Good value

Good potting soil. I like the texter and didn't have the small sticks and twigs like the other name brand I had been using. I do recommend this potting soil

Do NOT buy!

The bag had way too many sticks. I would not buy it again. I bought a bag of Miracle -Gro Moisture Control. Sam's sold it last year and now they have there own and it is sub-par.

Great soil

Can’t beat the price on this members mark potting soil. We grow a handful of tomato, cucumber, and pepper plants in five gallon buckets and this works great for what we do. Much cheaper than buying at the chain hardware store.

Potting soil was delivered

I was so excited to know that Sam’s club delivers potting soil right to your door, you do have to pay for delivery, but worth it. The bags are heavy and was nice that I did not have to get them out of my trunk.

terrible potting soil, full of large wood chips and mold. Returned all of it. They used to carry Miracle grow potting soil in past years which is excellent. They made they bag look like the Miracle grow product!! Don't be fooled.

Animal Bedding?

Pure garbage, should be labeled animal bedding, and that’s even a little bit better than what I called it. Sam’s needs to be more selective on what they put on their shelves. But what do I care, I will never use this product again.

Poor replacement for Miracle Grow - blue bag

We bought this because Sam’s didn’t carry the Miracle grow -Moisture control soil this year. It is NOT comparable. We always buy the miracle grow to start our seedling in before the last frost. I was so disappointed by the quality of this product. First it has large wood chips, sticks, slivers in it. These are abundant through the whole bag. Secondly, there were sections of the dirt that had mold growing in it and it was unopened and just purchased. This had NOT been sitting outside and was not exposed to moisture yet. Lastly, the soil was very dry for an unopened bag. This is going right into the garden and I am going to shop at another store and get the Miracle Grow brand we typically use.
