Equal to Miracle-Gro

Great potting soil, equal to name brands. However, for the last two years, Sam's runs out of product early in season, and does not restock.

Good value

Good value when compared to supermarket prices but I found some did not last like they should. Seems the price has gone up

Good soil, great service

We had this delivered and it really helped us. The driver was efficient and prompt. I use this in my garden beds and containers.

"Generic" potting soil

Good potting soil, very similar to well known name brand just less expensive. I bought because I needed it that day.

Member's Mark Potting Mix Planting Soil, 55 Quarts

Member's Mark Potting Mix Planting Soil, 55 Quarts has turned the top soil green from algae after the rain on all of my potted outdoor plants. :(

reply from Supplier Response

Yes that is from the mix having too much water. which will happen with any mix that gets too much water that way. Please remove the top layer of soil and then add back new. If we need to assist please call our customer service at 800-285-7333. We will get you some new soil to replace the top layer ! Thanks !

Essentially Mulch

Terrible consistency with mostly mulch/wood chips. Smells like mulch and has no obvious soil. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

won't buy again

Potting soil was worst ever. Dried out and plants were dying. Needed to replant all the pots using a different brand potting soil.

reply from Pennington Team

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. This mix is a premium blend of peat, composted softwood bark, composted forest products, perlite, fertilizer, and a wetting agent. The mix should contain smaller bark pieces to aid aeration and plant stability. If you’re seeing anything different, please call us at 1-800-285-7333, and our team will be happy to help resolve the issue.

Too much peat

This product is lightweight because it contains peat. Peat has little to no nutrients and needs extra fertilizer. It also requires a wetting agent because as it dries out it actually repels water even more. No bueno.

Not good. Won’t buy again.

I took a chance on this MM potting soil and regret it. As other reviews state it is full of wood pieces and really chunky. It’s not good for starting seeds or potting plants. If you’re using it outdoors it should be ok.
