Had to repair damage

The delivery men broke off the drain pipe while attempting to install the washing machine, and we had to repair this ourselves. Lowes did reimburse us for the cost of the materials, but having to repair it was inconvenient and frustrating. The delivery men were difficult to communicate with because they didn't speak or understand English well.

Miracle Gro Container Mix Was Dripping Wet

This product should not be outdoors where it can get wet. Every instruction for planting Bonnie Plants in containers and sold at Lowe’s calls for planting the new plants into “DRY” container mix. I’ve had trouble finding DRY Performance Organics at Lowe’s. Last season I was forced to use bags that were twice as heavy as they should have been and were dripping water from the bags for weeks once I got them home. The mix when wet is much too dense per the instructions from the Bonnie Plants AND Mir...

Really unpleasantly surprised

I made the assumption that Miracle Gro Performance organics would be professional grade products and purchased a large and expensive load of this product last year. I planted both vegetables and flowers in this soil and nothing thrived with the exception of a single Fernleaf lavender and one heirloom tomato plant in a grow bag where I had mixed the Miracle-Gro with some leftover big box store brand soil that was only a third of the price for a larger bag. Dozens of expensive rare geraniums die...

Potting Mix Not What It Once Was!!

I have been using this Miracle Grow Organics Performance 25 quart size potting mix for the past 2 years or longer. I have literally recommended it to everyone. This year I have already purchased at least 10 bags. Today I opened 3 new ones and they are awful. Full of sticks, big rock, huge clumps and just nothing remotely like all the other bags. Very course mixture compared to what I have used in the past and even in the last 2 months. I checked the bags to see if I had something different but ...

Best soil I’ve ever used!

I have been using this soil to garden in 25 gallon fabric containers as well as in 15 gallon pots for my avocado and mango trees. I also use it as my go to soil for all my outdoor potted plants. I have never used a better soil. All my plants thrive in this soil. And for those reviewers who complain of fungus gnats, this is an ORGANIC soil folks. That means it has life in it, microorganisms that benefit your plants. If fungus gnats concern you, try a sterilized soil in which your plants won’t thr...

Lots of bugs

This soil is beautiful and rich. I would have done 5 stars for the dirt but, the bugs knocked off a couple of stars. Unfortunately it was full of bugs. I had to use Diatomaceous Earth in each of my pots to get rid of them. Very disappointing for the top of the line potting soil from Miracle Grow

Growing Pains

A few years ago, I planted some seeds hoping to get a few plants for the yard. I got 6 small seedlings of a favorite plant that were trying to grow. Only 2 of them would make it though. During a period inbetween residences, I had to depend on a friend to take care of them, but one of the plants died. When my residence was ready, moving and unpacking took about 2 months. My friend became ill and was hospitalized. He had always been quite healthy and really took care of himself. I was told t...

Avoid this non-absorbent potting soil.

I followed package directions transplanting a starter tomato to a large pot, lightly packing the potting soil and then watering slowly and thoroughly. The water was trickling out of the bottom of the pot and I thought that the soil had been properly wetted. A half hour later I returned and the leaves were wilted. The soil below the top half inch was dry like sawdust. The water had just formed passageways down to the bottom to escape. The bone dry majority (about 95%) of the potting soil in cont...
