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.

Soil, mulch, and bones

I bought around 10 bags as I was trying to fill something up and only a handful were good. The other bags were filled with large sticks and BONES!! I was truly grossed out and disappointed.

Garden soil.

Garden soil is HORRIBLE! Had oily smell and full of wood chunks and sticks. It was never like this. Been buying for years. Will never buy again. My tomatoes are not growing and seem to be dying .

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.

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.

Wonderful soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the absolute best soil for my garden. I planted a ton of tomatoes and zucchini using this soil and they were all thriving. I have more tomatoes and squash than I know what to do with. I have also planted flowers and they are all doing well too!
