NOT miracle grow potting mix with moisture control

Why so many “incentive”reviews from freebee receivers or “field agents”? Please offer what customers want! Sam’s has had Miracle Grow Potting Mix with Moisture Control for many years until this happened!!! I have a commercial greenhouse and although this may make Sam’s more money, I want the name brand potting soil that I always send my customers to Sam’s to buy. Miracle Grow Potting Mix with Moisture Control is the real stuff, not this! It is made to look like a Scott’s product, but it is produced by Pennington which is an inferior product. Clearly all these free sample reviews are here to bolster the feedback.

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.

Too many large wood chips

Looks like they took wood chips and mixed them with potting soil. Which would be okay if the chips were small but they're not; they're 1 ½" long and ½-¾" wide! I'm very disappointed; please bring back the Miracle Grow brand that you used to carry! It was so much better!

Lots of Wood

Quality has severely went downhill. A lot of the bag is filled with wood and fillers. Theres maybe 40qt of actual soil.

1/4 wood mulch

Tons of wood chips. There’s no wonder it’s so cheap… it’s 1/4 wood mulch. At least there’s descent amounts of perlite.

terrible soil, nothing but chopped wood , the premium soil they used to carry was good dirt, don't bother buying this unless your going to mix it with better dirt
