This "soil" is absolute garbage. My flowers have either died or were dying. I replanted with Miracle Grow and now they are thriving. This "soil" is full of wood chips, no nutrients.

I was so surprised, so much better than the Miracle Grow soil. It's fine, rich looking and not full of mulch. My bags contained very few wood pieces. Great product.

Got me once never again

This is not comparable to miracle grow that they used to sell. Many big wood chunks like mulch. The worst part was my little seedlings I started in starter soil and moved to this stuff would not grow. Very disappointing.

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.

Worst Potting Soil I've Ever Used.

Every planter I put it in has mold and pests throughout. The planters with LAST YEARS Miracle Grow potting soil have no problems. It's not only a waste of money for the product, it ruins all the flowers that went in it.

Hi Susan- We&#39;re sorry to hear about your experience with the potting mix. We understand how disappointing it is when your plants don&#39;t thrive.<br /><br />Because potting mixes contain natural organic materials, they can occasionally support harmless mold or fungus and may attract fungus gnats under warm, moist conditions. However, we&#39;d like to learn more about what you experienced.<br /><br />Please contact our Customer Care team at 1-800-285-7333, with the lot code from the package, so we can investigate further and assist you.

Nice

I wanted to try because I needed a big bag for my big pots. I was pleased not a lot of bark pieces like other reviews. I am happy with my purchase I'll buy again.

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.

Not good for seedlings

My seedlings didn't do good in this mix. After transplanting them to bigger pots and fertilizing them they did better Some of the bags were dried out and compressed in big chunks. Lot of large wood pieces.

Terrible potting soil

This soil doesnt contain water, it just drains straight through the soil. Absolutely not moisture containment at all
