Not good!!

I did not like this so called potting soil at all!! It is basically mulch and it was moldy as well. I do not recommend it all!

Horrible!

Horrible, big chunks of mulch in it. Very dry too! I used it because I didn't want to have to lug it back to return it. Will not repurchase!

Lots of Wood

Quality has severely went downhill. A lot of the bag is filled with wood and fillers. Theres maybe 40qt of actual soil.

Best potting soil available

Infinitely better than the national brand! My local Sam’s was sold out so I drove two hours to another Sam’s to get members mark rather than the national brand

Good Soil

This soil can be used indoor, outdoor or both. My indoor house plants love it. I can’t wait to try it in our garden this spring and summer! It comes in a large bag. I would definitely recommend trying this soil.

Great for raised befs

I’ve used this for several years now and my garden has done great. I added more beds this year and I use this soil as the top layer. It’s good value for the money.

Easy To Use Soil

Easy to use because it's fairly dry in the bag and is light compared to other potting soil. Good information on the bag with relatively few restrictions for use. It seems to be clean soil and I have not noticed any strange new weeds growing.

It’s okay

The last bag I purchased had large chunks of wood pieces. I guess it wasn’t shredded long enough but I can handle removing them. It’s much better than paying the higher price for its competitors.
