Wood Chips or Soil?

I purchased multiple bags to top off my garden beds and after applying my husband asked if I accidentally bought wood chips instead of soil…it is literally almost all wood chips! We will see how my garden does but as of now I would not recommend or buy again.

We are sorry to hear you are disappointed with Miracle-Gro Garden Soil All Purpose. We value your feedback and want to ensure you have the best possible experience with our products.<br /><br />While small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our growing media including potting soil, garden soil, lawn soil, top soil, etc., large pieces of wood or bark should not be found. 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 for years.<br /><br />We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.<br /><br />

Smells strongly of chemicals! Very dry.

when I opened the bag I was surprised at how dry it was...like someone shredded grass. Thrn the horrible chemical smell hit me and I gagged. zive washed my hands twice and I csn still smel it. At first I thought maybe I had bought weed killer by mistake. The smell was so bad that it made my mose run and my throat dry. i used MG Organic last year and think I might have to do tgat again. I woukd be afraid to eat anything griwn in this chemical dust posing as soil. would have been a great price if it wasnt so nasty.

More mulch than soil

Most of my bag was bark, not soil and none of the little nutrient beads in it at all. Will be returning!

Good rich soil

Some times I need more dirt for the holes my dog digs, these bags are a little big for me to handle but we get the job done. Good rich soil

Good price for a good product.

Good product and price. I like to buy this size for my small indoor plants. Easy to keep the bag in the garage without making a big mess.

Poor quality

This soil is a solid clump of clay like mud. You have to hack it apart with a trowel to use it. I do not recommend it.

Tons of bark and wood

Tons of wood chips and large pieces of bark. 100% do NOT recommend this anymore. The quality has definitely gone down.
