The Member's Mark Potting Mix is an absolute steal for anyone with a lot of ground to cover, as the bag is gigantic for the price and offers much more volume than standard garden center brands. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the mix, which I found to be a very decent, reliable medium for my plants. The texture was impressively light and fluffy right out of the bag, making it easy to handle and distribute without any heavy clumping. It provides a great balance of moisture retention and aeration that has kept my plants looking healthy and vibrant. If you are looking for a budget-friendly way to fill large containers or raised beds without compromising on a good growing environment, this is a fantastic option.

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 like the amount it brings in one bag. I just started my first ever greenhouse and this is enough for the amount of plants I have at the moment. I think this can last me a while maybe even until next spring. I like that it is light and fluffy but as soon as I water my plants it soaks it all in. I really enjoy this potting mix.

This potting soil works well for me. I like that I can use it for both indoor and outdoor plants. I also enjoy the fact that I don't have to feed my plants for 6 months and it includes a moisture management formula to help the water be even on my plants roots.

Totally dissatisfied

Should be labeled “wood chips”, not potting soil…

Stay away!

If I wanted a bag of sticks I could go out in the yard and get them for free. Save your money and buy some other brand.

I love this potting mix. The bag was lightweight and easy to carry. Its moisture management and 6 month fertilizer is great for a beginner like me. I'm sure my new impatiens flower plant would appreciate this.

GREAT POTTING SOIL

This potting soil is perfect for gardens, indoor & outdoor plants. It’s just the right mixture & is not full of fillers & sticks. It’s soft and easy to use. Used in hanging baskets, raised beds & indoor plants. Great deal too!

This potting mix is very rich in nutrient and is very good at retaining moisture the right way which is exactly what my seeds need to grow. It also has a good drainage which isn't too much or too small but just the amount required for good growth of the plants. I love that it is easy to work with and very good at supporting root growth
