Miracle-Gro 1 Cubic feet OMRI listed Raised bed soil

Has Weed Seeds in it!

Used this mixture in clean containers, and numerous grass weeds came up. When it was used in the garden, the area was covered in weeds. This product will never be used again as it contains viable weed seeds that sprout all over area where it is used!

Great soil that COMES WITH GNATS FREE OF CHARGE!!!

Great soil as far as how plants like it but every time I buy some I get infested with Fungus Gnats. Last year (4-2024) I had to toss out all my plants because I could not get rid of them. Then I waited until 3/2025 to buy more plants one at a time to make sure none had gnats. And then after 5 new plants and no gnats I made the BIG mistake of buying MG again. I figured maybe it was an infestation at their plant. Well, within a week I started seeing them again! ARHGGG! And they were not the same t...

So very disappointing

I have never been so disappointed! I have 2 raised beds, one I filled with regular garden soil. Plants are doing great. The other has you more expensive soil. I can’t get anything started around the hundreds of mushrooms sprouting! I wish I could add a photo. Ridiculous!

Stay away junk in soil

I bought above ground potting soil and found, metal, plastic, and glass debris in it. I spoke to a neighbor who had the same problem a couple years ago.

Not organic

Was totally disappointed, bag states 100% organic. Not sure where plastic, glass and cigar butts, fall into the organic world.

Overrated

I was very disappointed with this plant mix. It had too much wood mulch. It seemed to have a dark substance residue after water runs through it, looks like black tea? I thought it was waste of money.

BAD DIRT. Fungal disease, no growth, no production

I bought 40 bags of this for my new raised beds 3 months ago. I noticed a sewage like smell and thought it was the smell of the manure. I amended it with perlite, worm casting and bone meal. The snow peas and green beans barely grew much less produced enough for maybe one meal. The peppers and cucumbers barely grew and had a lot of yellowing leaves. My transplanted rosemary plants had so much white mildew and spotted fungus despite fungicide treatments, and finally died. I finally figured it was...

AVOID

I bought 8 bags of Miracle-Gro Raised Bed Soil this summer, and my entire garden withered away. More concerning is that after watering, the drainage resembles motor oil! It stained my concrete porch and drive way, as well as a patio table. So disappointing! have used this product in the past without issue. This is the first summer in 10 years with no yield from my garden whatsoever!

Terrible soil

I bought 20 bags of this product and got no vegetables from it. It was a waste of my hard earned money and our time opening it, spreading it, and even putting water in it because nothing grew from it for 4 months now. I'm scared of putting it on the ground. My coworker even bought the same brand and kind of soil with the same results, "NOTHING."
