Well I'm sure had I got this from the store it may have been a better review, but it was shipped to me, and as you will see in the pictures it had holes all through the bag and made a mess when I opened it. Furthermore having the holes in it dried out a lot of the soil so as for moist soil I can't answer that due to mine being dried out. Judging by what was all over my floor it seems to be of good quality. Again I say DO NOT have this shipped to you, if you need potting soil go to the store so you can look at the bags yourself.

Bought one bag earlier this year -- had the typical "Miracle Grow" look with Vermilucite particles and small workable soil mixture. Last 2 bags I bought had the consistency of compost that we buy at the local nursery. Not a nice mixture that lends to use in potting seedlings. I have purchased 10 more bags, and have found the same compost type mixture in at least one (have not used the others yet)---Might take them all back and dish out the extra $5.00 per bag for real Miracle Grow.

In the month of February I usually re-work my vegetable beds and my wife works over her roses and other flowering plants. We attempt to re vitalize all the soil at least every other year by mixing a good mix. We were grateful that this year there was an alternative than the normal Wallet breakers available. Of course only time will tell how effective it will be. We were amazed at how well the new potting mix blended in with the existing soil and does not come in clumps and chunks. It appears that the new product will change the time necessary for plants to put on better roots and hopefully better blooms and vegetables. Will update this in 3-4 months.

It's early spring and I bought this mix for transplanting small seedlings into 6 packs to grow on before planting in my garden. Bark pieces were too plentiful and large enough that there was no room left in many cells to delicately place seedlings into the small cells with this potting mix. There were also long sticks and I even found some plant stems that were still green. Some seedlings have died and many more look pitiful and probably won't live. I am not a novice and have never had such terrible results. I thought the price was good but it will end up being very expensive.

I can't express how disappointed I am with the Member's Mark potting soil. It's basically dried mulch and clumps of fiberglass filler. Having been a Sam's Club member for many years, I've tried several Member's Mark products and the quality is usually at least good, not always exceptional, but again at least good, until today. I can honestly say, the only good quality about this 'potting soil' is that it didn't contain any gnats.

The potting mix is easy to use. I opened the bag and dumped a bunch in my pot for planting lettuce. The potting mix was light, yet had good substance to it. It did not crumble from being chunky as other potting mixes I have gotten. I sprinkled some dry organic matter on top of each planter to help retain moisture. My daughter enjoyed planting seeds in the potting mix. I only have a couple pots left to plant before emptying the bag. I am looking forward to growing herbs and lettuce in my sun porch even though there is snow on the ground outside.

This is a really good potting soil compared to other more expensive brands, I would much rather have this brand for the cost than the name brand. The soil looks as good as if not better than the name brand. It is rich and the perfect consistency. I can’t wait to pot my tomato plants in this. Still a little too early for that though.

Love this potting soil. Used to always get Miracle Grow, but it’s quality last year was terrible & it was infested with gnats and other bugs that destroyed my container garden. Got Member’s Mark from Sam’s this year & could not be happier. No visible bugs, actual soil & so far my seedlings are healthy & thriving.

This is a quality looking potting soil. It is not too heavy which could make pots too much to carry. It spreads well and doesn’t pack too dense. Time will tell if it promotes good growth since I just planted with it but from all appearances it should perform fine.

After using 1 bag, I can honestly say the quality of this product is extremely low. All live plants planted in it are either dying or dead already. Cannot recommend it at all. As a lifelong gardener- this has never happened to me before. It smells more like shoe polish than potting soil. The second unused bag is being returned.
