Sam's has decided to not sell Miraclegro moisture control soil this year and has instead replaced it with a Member's Mark version. This knock off is poor quality soil. At least 1/3 of it is wood pieces. It doesn't help retain moisture at ALL. Don't waste your time and money. Your plants will suffer in this mix. Funny. This review at the bottom which asks for photos will not allow me to upload any.

I would give this a zero star if I could. I have seen mulch with smaller pieces of sticks. It is not worth the price. By the time I pick out the large chunks of wood there is not a lot of dirt. bring back Miracle Grow! Next time I will go to Lowes and get Miracle Grow

I was excited about getting potting mix in such a high quantity for a good price. As I needed to pot houseplants and up pot seedlings for my garden. Sad to say that nothings has grown. It's like once planted everything stopped growing. Or it's been very difficult.

I am beyond disappointed. I have used this soil every year for seed starting and have always been happy. This year this is more like a bag of mulch than soil. Seeds cannot come up through this. Terrible doesn't even begin to describe it. I will return to the name brand but am so sad to do so.

This is a low quality substitution gif the Miracle Gro moisture control potting soil that Sam's used to sell. The bag is even the Sam color as the Miracle Gro but the actual product is poor at best!! Alot of other organic stuff (bark, clumps and other material) versus MG is just soft, fluffy potting soil. Do not waste your $ for a couple $ more Miracle Gro moisture control potting soil is far superior!!

Looking at the pics in the reviews makes me think I got a bad bag. Mine looks like a chipped up tree with a little soil thrown in. more of a reddish brown even after watering. Im usually all about the members mark product but not this time. please bring back the Miracle Grow version. Will be returning to store. Not everything needs to be duplicated.

As someone who spends hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on annuals and potting soil, finding this product was a blessing! Miracle grow is demanding as much as 27.00 for the same size bag. If you want to support a giant corporation and pay for their Ritz Carlton convention rooms- be my guest. The fact that so many are mortified there is a few pieces of wood in the bag is laughable. Good quality potting soil contains natural components.

Buyer beware! I hardly ever write reviews but this one warrants one. This potting soil, if you can call it that, is horrible. It is dry and filled with so much wood product that it is hard to work with. I went ahead and planted my flowers in it anyway and they aren't doing very well. I'm going back to Miracle Grow.

About 3 weeks after buying this potting mix in Colorado, I discovered the hard way that it came with loads of thrips! Ive never had before and got first on a huge monstera that I repotted using this mix just a day after purchase. It has affected every plant I have repotted with this mix and only today discovered. I have thousands invested in my plants and apparently could lose a good portion of my colletion from this contaminated potting mix. I am reaching out to corporate to file a more formal complaint, but want to make anyone aware here that this soil could cost you a lost more than the price tag. Thrips are one of THE worst pests to erraticate and do significant, irreversible damage to the plant while feeding on it and laying eggs in the cell membranes. I will have to invest 25X what this bag cost to fix this and willl liekly still lose some plants from this! I am so angry!!

Good value comparable to Miracle Grow
