I am very unhappy with Members Mark potting soil. Nothing like a Miracle Grow moisture control. Spend a little more your plants will be much happier.

Waste of money

Awful product, my plants are not thriving. It is full of twigs, looked faded when I opened bag. Don't waste your money.

Why is there mulch in this?

This has so much mulch incorporated into the soil it's ridiculous! Definitely not the quality of the Miracle Gro potting soil they used to sell.

Don’t buy this! You get what you pay for.

The views on this were good so I bought 20 bag of this for my vertical grow towers. The price was good and they no longer sold the Miracle Grow potting mix that I bought for years. It is terrible. It is very dry and full of wood. Doesn’t hold moisture and I had to add fertilizer so my plants would get the nutrients they needed that claimed to be in this potting mix but was clearly lacking.

Not good

Soil has wood chunks in it. Looks more like mulch than potting soil. Very disappointing

Too many sticks, holds way too much water and stays wet too long.
