Best potting mix ever

Great potting mix without the usual overload of woodchips. This is very nice peaty rich soil and my seeds germinate better than ever in this mix. We love the big bag at such a great price. Winner!

Great potting soil

I love that this potting soil is so light and fluffy. This bag contains 55 quarts and was not too heavy to carry. My plants seem to love this soil so far. I also love the fact that this soil can be used outdoors as well as indoors.

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.

Awesome product

Perfect for front porch flower pots, raised garden beds, or just a plant needing replanted. So far the plants have done amazing with this potting soil. It’s a large bag too so plenty of options to help take care of your plants at home.

Same as name brand soils for less

Good for the price. I mix it with peat moss and pearlite and sift out the big pieces of wood chips before using. But all the name brand soils are the same way now. They are primarily old wood chips.

Too course for seed starting

Purchased 3 bags for seed starting and was surprised at the coarse bark filler. Ended up sifting the bark and will use that for chunky soil plants. Two unopened bags will be returned / swapped for miracle grow.

Good price

This soil is a very good price but needs some help for indoor plants; I like the wood chips but still a bit too heavy. The fertilizer smell is also a bit strong for indoor use. We will see how it holds up and whether it provides enough drainage.

terrible soil, nothing but chopped wood , the premium soil they used to carry was good dirt, don't bother buying this unless your going to mix it with better dirt

Too much mulch in the mix. Spend a little more and get the Miracle Grow
