Too much mulch used as filler. Last year I bought the miracle gro potting soil which was much better.

Great light soil

Soil has a lot less “bark” compared to most others. Bags are dry & light & easy to manage. That alone almost makes it preferable to all others.

Potting mix, not soil

Not what expected. More mulch than soil, not much “soil” at all really. Not good for veggies, having to add a lot of nutrients.

Good potting soil

Good overall potting soil. Be sure to remove the large wood pieces as there was a lot of them. Overall it's a great buy for the price and quality.

Total disappointment!

Although its soil reasonably prived, there is ENTIRELY too much wood mixed in, I will not purchase again!

I found the whole bag filled with bark, sticks. I won't be buying it again. I think it was really bad quality.

Stick filled junk

Well, I used the think the Miracle Gro soil was bad. But this stick filled crappy soil bag is so much worse! Time to look elsewhere for decent soil.

Fungus Gnats

My instinct told me to just use this outside, but I used it to put a new plant inside and there are fungus gnats.
