We&#39;re truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.<br /><br />Our soils are manufactured with processed forest products with small twigs and bits of bark added in. These larger pieces of media serve a couple of purposes: First, they prevent soil compaction and allow for better airflow around the roots of the plant, and as they break down they introduce additional nutrients into the soil. <br /><br />We want you to feel confident when using our products. That&#39;s why we offer a product guarantee: If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to a refund of your purchase price (limitations apply). Please reach out to us at 888-295-6902 at your earliest convenience if you need further assistance. We&#39;re here to help!
