Hi Sara- 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.

Sams club brand soil

Sams club garden soil is cheaper than the miracle grow brand and it seemed better . My cannas are sprouting faster than the other soil

Why is there mulch in this?

This has so much mulch incorporated into the soil it’s ridiculous! Definitely not the quality of the Miracle Gro potting soil they used to sell.

Potting mix, not soil

Not what expected. More mulch than soil, not much “soil” at all really. Not good for veggies, having to add a lot of nutrients.

Potting soil

Nice big bag. Purchased to mix with garden soil for a raised bed. It created a good bed for planting seeds and plants. So far, so good!

try it. you'll like it.

seems to be as good as the big name brand, but, cost much less. best part: ordering online and having someone else load it. at 72 that means a bunch.

Great soil mix

I love this potting mix, it’s has perlite and some chunky soil which is great for drainage which helps to prevent overwatering.

Great light soil

Soil has a lot less “bark” compared to most others. Bags are dry & light & easy to manage. That alone almost makes it preferable to all others.
