Great potting soil

I purchased this potting soil as an alternative to having to purchase Miracle Gro. The price was great, the product is every bit as good as MG brand, maybe better. Love that it is stored indoors and was not all wet and moldy inside, but nice, dry and easy to scoop out. There was a good balance of perlite in the mix. That is very important with a product heavy in peat to keep it loose and not dry up into a brick. I will purchase this again, if Sam's is still carrying it then. They have a way of getting good products in and then not carrying them anymore once they sell out.

Something's very wrong

After using 1 bag, I can honestly say the quality of this product is extremely low. All live plants planted in it are either dying or dead already. Cannot recommend it at all. As a lifelong gardener- this has never happened to me before. It smells more like shoe polish than potting soil. The second unused bag is being returned.

Looking forward to growing tomatoes with this.

This is a really good potting soil compared to other more expensive brands, I would much rather have this brand for the cost than the name brand. The soil looks as good as if not better than the name brand. It is rich and the perfect consistency. I can’t wait to pot my tomato plants in this. Still a little too early for that though.

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.

I use a lot of potting soil due to my love of plants. I look for a good mix of topsoil, vermiculite, peat or wood shavings as well as fertilizer to ensure that my plants will grow to be robust and healthy. I'm pleased to say that this economical potting soil has all that I'm looking for. It has a good ratio of ingredients to nourish my precious plants.

This is a great size bag potting mix. The bag has very helpful instructions that include how much soil is needed for pot sizes and how to grow and transplant plants. They make it very easy for any level of gardener. The potting mix is black with nutrients added. I was happy that the inside of the bag was dry. I am highly satisfied with this purchase and will purchase more when I have used this whole bag. It was a great value for the price and size.

I really liked the look of this potting soil. For the price it's going to be awesome compared to the miracle grow, I normally purchase with the same benefits. The soil looked rich and I love the moisture control. I can't wait to plant all of my vegetables in it.

This is a lot of potting soil for the money! More reasonable than the competition. My house plants were getting a little hollowed out on top from where I had water. So I took the advice from the bag and pulled out the plant and it's roots so that I could put new potting soil underneath the plant. It really made it look nice and I'm sure the roads are gonna like some fresh soil.

This is some really good potting soil I love how much you get for the cost! Other places sell smaller bags for almost the same price sometimes have to buy more than one bag for each plant! But this is perfect! I've used this before and my plants love it! Very happy with my purchase

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.
