Worst potting soil ever

I can't believe how much wood there is in this potting soil. Not just small pieces, actual chunks of wood, I had to sift it before I could use it. When I looked at the ingredients 2 things stood out : forest products and processed bark ??? I am really disappointed with the product and I won't be buying it again.

What happened?!?!?

Last year we purchased over a dozen bags of this soil and regretted not buying more before it sold out. We just picked up 6 bags a week ago and it's horrible. Basically mulch. We've had dump truck loads of top soil brought in to fill our raised bed gardens that outshine this product by a wide margin. So disappointed and will be returning the other 5 bags and half of the opened bag :-(((

This stuff is terrible!

I have done planting and horticulture work for years. I understand it is a “soil less” planting medium. This product is nothing but wood chips and wood chip dust. No vermiculite, no peat moss. I can’t imagine this medium would hold any moisture in sun containers in July and August. Bought two bags, returning one unopened. Sticking with Miracle Grow.

Not impressed
