More mulch than soil

Unusually love the members mark items. But this changed my mind. Upon opening there were mostly bark items at the top which made me think I bought mulch. After stirring it was a little better. But still mostly debris than potting mix. After being open of a week the top started to grow white fuzz. I'm not sure if it was mold or something else that was organic. The snake plant and palm tree enjoy the drainage but the Zinnia and spider plant aren't fans. I will likely mix with another bag and try again just to make sure, if it is the same it will make great soil to plant the spring garden with.

reply from Pennington Team

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.

Good mix.

The soil is very moist and ready for seeding. The price is also very good.

Bad soil, rocky and grows fungus

I bought this soil and it has a lot of rocks and giant s sticks in it. Additionally it was quick to grow mold even with little watering so not sure what was in it to do that and it molded out my seedlings. Finally it also grows a ton of mushrooms that I pluck out every day but they come back. I really wish I could just return this to the store. The price and size were good if you just need filler but I do not recommend for actual plants

One of the best souls out there.

I love this soil. I actually have a couple different soils I purchase and mix together. This is one of them! My plants absolutely love it! My roses are HUGE! They went from being small roses meaning about 3 inches in diameter to 6 to 8 inches in diameter! I am not kidding! My roses are huge thanks to using this soil! I tried mixing my other soil with MG and it just wasn’t the same!
