helps feed plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grow a few vegetables in a small garden. I always use Miracle-Gro products to help them grow. I like that there is added nutrition to feed back into the soil since the plants deplete it. I use the All Purpose Garden Soil to mix in with the soil that is already there. I like that they recycle and reuse materials so it is more sustainable. This does mean that there is some mulch and other debris mixed in, but it is still mostly dirt and not really an issue. I recommend using gloves and a shovel or other container to scoop it out and spread it around. Before planting I will dump the whole bag where I need it and mix it in, but if I already have plants in the ground that need more dirt added, then I scoop and place exactly where it is needed most. When it is time to pick my vegetables, there is always plenty to go around.

A good thing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a vegetable garden and I want to refresh the soil around the tomato plants. I put it around the tomato plants water them and they are doing great. The bag is a mixer of mulch and soil. Which is ok with me. They both help the garden.

Good Soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mixed this soil into existing flower beds for new plantings. The flowers have done quite well and it's nice that I didn't have to worry about fertilizing throughout the growing season. Our hummingbirds are happy!

Absolutely the worst

I bought 20 bags of this because of the huge early sale. You get what you pay for. I have never been more embarrassed or disappointed in my tomato plants this year. Seriously, its depressing, I am so bummed out. Miracle Gro should be embarrassed to have their name on this 'stuff'. Never again. I'd give it a negative 5 stars if I could.

Mushrooms everywhere.

I have bought 25+ bags of the garden soil for my beds. Plants are doing great but I have mushrooms coming up in every bed. Are these edible? Seems to be much more mulch in it than previous years.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose and appreciate your feedback. Fungal mold spores including mushroom producing fungus are a natural part of soils and mulch. It just takes the right conditions for the spores to develop into a fungus or mold. In fact, fungus mold has been scientifically proven to improve the growth of plants by releasing nutrients from the organic material that growing media are typically. We do not sterilize our growing media as microorganisms are an important component of growing media. The fungus mold only becomes a problem if there is an overgrowth. Overgrowth occurs when the soil mulch is too wet. Keep in mind that mold and fungus on growing media or mulch will go away with sunlight and air circulation. 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.

Poor product

Lousy product compared to what it once was. Too many sticks, bark and other unidentifiable junk. Not expecting much from my garden this as I agree with all the other poor reviews.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Garden Soil and appreciate your feedback. While small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our growing media including potting soil, garden soil, lawn soil, and topsoil, you should not find large pieces of wood or bark. 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. 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.

Bag of Bark

I bought a few bags last week and a bag this week. The bag this week contained large chunks of wood and looked like bad topsoil. It looked nothing like the stuff I purchased just a week ago which was fine. I think there are bad batches going around.

horrible 'seller?'

I have used this product for years. I ordered this online. It came soaking wet, so VERY heavy. When I opened it, it smelled disgusting and looked like it was full of mold.
