Best potting mix

I hope this potting soil is the same as it was last year. It was the best potting soil I have ever used. I use it to plant veggies and flowers. It worked so well.

Used this last year. Great product. This year bought 20 bags. Not the same quality. Contacted customer service. Professional and courteous. Contacted by manufacturer rep and again professional and courteous and issued refund to my amazement.

Would not buy again

We normally buy the Miracle Grow brand but decided to give this a try. Huge difference! This looks like someone mixed a bag of potting soil with a bag of mulch! Big pieces of wood and even found a big rock! Won’t be buying again!

Don't buy!

Possibly the worst "potting soil" i have ever purchased. Didn't have time to return. Wish I could include pictures. Smells and looks like mulch not soil

Had to filter wood chips out

Very disappointed in this year’s Sam clubs soil because the bag was 40% chipped wood mixed in with soil. Had to laboriously screen every bag to be able to use it for starts and root crops. Avoid. You aren’t saving any money.

Potting soil

This seems like a very good potting soil. Color is rich and has fertilizer mixed in. After repotting some house plants, they seem to be doing good and thriving. When all of this bag is used, I would definitely buy again.

This isn't even close to being a potting mix.

It's mulch and manure with maybe a tablespoon of perlite in the entire bag. I'm not sure who approve this for the Member's Mark label, but they should be fired. This stuff is garbage.

Lots of Wood

Great for larger bedding plants but not seedlings. Lots of wood chips. I filled an underbed box half full, then hand sifted to remove wood chips. Quarter in small box for size reference. Won't buy again.

The "wood chips" you are seeing are either Sphagnum Peat for retaining water or aged bark fines for drainage and aeration of your potted plants. These are good things in the mix. Please give the product another chance or contact us at (800) 285-7333. Thank You

This product has way to much wood not enough soil. I bought this to start my plants early before planting season and its terrible. I'm going to have to go buy Miracle Grow.
