Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the lightness and ease of use. Especially for sowing outdoor wildflower seeds, it seems ideal. Doesn't get soggy, retains a nice level of moisture as near as I can tell. It made for a nice sprouting cushion for the seeds, and with regular yard soil underneath fertilized with compost and also dug fairly deeply, the seeds should do nicely.

Great soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great soil. I find it much better out of the big bag than the smaller bag. Smaller bag seems to be dryer than the bigger bag that comes more moist. I use it mostly to freshen up areas before planting. I mix it with compost.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose is wonderful. I have been using this for a little over 3 weeks I think and for me, I suggest to mixed it with soil although this has composted forest products which provide high organic content but for me mixing it with soil works for me.

Just Got This. So Far, So Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I just used this, nothing is growing with this yet, and will probably be close to a month before I see the results, but the soil looked good, was moist and easy to spread by not clumpy. I have a Banana Tree siblings that I need to plant, but I'm waiting on the pots. I'm going to add to this soil some sand and other things to make it compatible for these, but Iwon't get those till nextweek.

A must in sandy conditions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted to plant some roses in a sunny part of the yard. Unfortunately our yard is 100% sand. We learned by trial and error that sand and our 100 degree Texas heat make it almost impossible to grow plants. I put the Garden soil in the area and tilled it in almost 6 inches deep. So far the roses and thriving.

Full of Stink and Trash

Horrible stench that I've been waiting to dissipate, it's been over a week and I find myself wondering "why does the house smell like sewage?!" several times a day before I remember this "soil" is in the backyard, wafting in. The 3 bags I had left over to use today were full of plastic, some weird like...composite, and a kiwi sizes rock which was more a surprise than anything. Absolutely horrid, I can only blame myself and warn others.

Sorry I Bought

I bought 10 bags of In Ground Soil and it’s Horrible! Full of heavy wood and no soil to speak of. Tried mixing with soil because it wouldn’t hold water. Full of junk. Had spread all 10 bags and so disappointed. When it rained it molded in the ground. Now digging back out to replace. Big waste of time and money

reply from Customer Care

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose and appreciate your feedback. Most of our soils, especially potting mixes and garden soils, are made of composted forest products and contain very little, if any, actual soil. Composted forest products provide high organic content and nutrients without the concern for soil compaction which often occurs with potting mixes composed primarily of actual topsoil. The coarser material allows for air to reach the roots of the plant which improves plant performance. While small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our growing media, including potting soil, garden soil, lawn soil, topsoil, etc., you should not find large pieces of wood or bark. Our growing media products are not sterilized and may contain microorganisms including fungus. Fungal mold spores, including mushroom-producing fungi, are a natural part of soil. It just takes the right conditions for the spores to develop into a fungus or mold. The mold and fungus that grows on soils and mulch will not harm plants and is safe for people and pets to be around. The fungus mold only becomes a problem if there is an overgrowth, which occurs when the soil is too wet. For soil that has already been used, allow the plants to dry out a bit between waterings. It will not hurt the plant to allow the soil to dry between waterings but will typically eliminate any mold fungus growth, which needs the extra moisture to grow. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist.

Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose A+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose is amazing. Very easy to work with. I have used bags of this soil both in ground for veggies and also in my big grow box as well as containers for cantaloupes and cucumbers. It is a good loamy soil and I always get healthy plants. I do amend it by adding some compost, whether my own or the cow compost, fertilizer and maybe fish emulsion. So I don't think one can use it to grow plants without some amending. I like the consistency, few sticks and mulch bits mixed in you find in other soils, especially the top soils. I use it mostly these days for container gardening of veggies and fruits. I would recommend this soil.

Perfect for tomato

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love using this soil when I start my garden every year. My plants always take to it really well and they grow very quickly and get huge. Especially my tomatoes. They thrive in this soil every time. I will not use any other in my garden.
