What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this compost for its organic, manure-free formula and dramatic impact on plant health. Most report faster growth, stronger stems, vibrant foliage, and increased vegetable and flower yields. Reviewers consistently highlight the rich, earthy texture, pleasant smell, and nutrient-dense composition that improves soil structure and reduces pest issues like gnats. Many appreciate the transparent, natural ingredients ideal for families avoiding chemicals. A few note slight dryness or prefer local sourcing, but these minor observations are vastly outweighed by strong satisfaction with results and quality.

Said in transit, but never even shipped.

Would Not Recommend

I ordered this and one other item from Lowes. One was to be delivered on October 1st, the other on the 2nd. I never got any updates, but when I checked on line, it said that it was in transit. At 12:30 in the afternoon of the 2nd, I received an email from the vendor that they were out of stock, but would try to get it to me by the end of the next week. But hey, for my trouble, they would send me a free bag of worm compost. Never mind that I spent two days sitting home waiting for this and pl...

Don't expect help from them when they screw up

Would Not Recommend

Bought this and had it delivered. Whoever their distributor is unloaded the pallets in my driveway blocking access so nobody could get in or out. I attempted to stop the drive before he left, but he looked at me, got in the truck and took off. Contacted Lowes who refused to help because they said it was a distributor issue. Contacted distributor who couldn't give two craps. I'll be shopping at the orange brand until they screw up.

they canceled my order twice on day of delivery

Would Not Recommend

twice I have garden crew waiting for delivery and twice they canceled on the day of delivery. No explanation, no prior notice. Lowes did not offer any solutions, no discounts, and no reimbursements of any kind for money payed out of pocket to have people waiting for a delivery, twice!

Perfect moisture control

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the biggest advantages of using mushroom fertilizer is its ability to maintain moisture while still providing good drainage. After applying it to my vegetable garden and my strawberry plants I noticed healthier growth.
