Great product

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!

I bought some in early spring that were fine. But the 10 bags I just got were awful. I opened the bag, and it smelled horrible, had mold and was filled with a lot of wood pieces. I needed to pot up a pepper plant so i decided to use a bag anyway and the next day my plant was filled with bugs in the soil of the pot. The only container of many that was filled with bugs. Super disappointed

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

The 3 bags I bought was full of sticks & woodchips and was more like Mulch than soil. I would not recommend this product unless you're looking for a space filler/base for new raised beds. I am sure it will break down over time but as for using it as SOIL.. it was not even close to being a soil.

Best value in the market

I repotted a rose bush in this soil, and within days it lost ALL its leaves and the buds shriveled up. I thought it was transplant shock at first, but I noticed that whenever I watered the water poured out the bottom of the drainage hole and pooled up in the saucer. No matter how much or how little I watered it did this. I finally concluded it was not absorbing water so I replanted the bush AGAIN in the big name potting soil. The Members Mark soil had so many chunks and wood chips in it compared to the other. You could see and feel a difference. I only hope I am able to save my rose bush. I’ll not purchase this soil again!

As good as name brand

Works well

I bought 10 bags of this stuff and 10 of miracle grow. No comparison in quality. I researched the members mark potting soil and best I could find is that its made by Pennington soil. I love Pennington birdseed and thought that would be a plus for the potting mix. Not so! This stuff is full of pine bark and big gobs of what looks like cow fur or rock wool to me and has a molasses type smell. This would not be good for indoors in my opinion. I was putting it in 10 gallon fabric bags for flowers. The first few I did with MM only, the MM soil formed like a crust over the top and would not absorb water without going slow. It did work fair for transplanting and some of the seeds I planted. This looks more like a mulch and would probably work good for that since it kind of seals up. After the first few plantings I quit using as the main ingredient. I mixed it 50/50 with miracle grow in the bottom of the fabric bags for half of the bag, then finished topping off with miracle grow. In a 10 gallon bag most roots probably wont reach that far anyway. Mixing this way has worked well so far for roses, dahlias, rose of Sharon, squash, petunias. Probably need to do some more experimenting with it, for the price it does work as a filler but not by itself in my opinion.
