Average bag of soil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a good bag of soil. Very few rocks, and not many wood chunks. It held moisture well, and smelled like rich dirt when I opened the bag. Price is good for what you get.

Soil that works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This “better” soil is better than I expected. The soil bag is colorful, but not overwhelming. The scent wasn’t overpowering and didn’t have a strong smell. The soil spread easily and evenly and seems to work. I have little veggie sprouts in my mini garden. The soil didn’t dry out and doesn’t need too much watering to stay moist. There was plenty of soil to cover a 6x3 area. Overall, this is a great product and would use again.

I like it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems effective. It will be months before I know if It does anything for my plants. I really wish Influencer would get with the seasons on certain items. It retains water well. It had a lot of large clumps of it in the bag. It was packaged securely for 23lb bag. It doesn't smell like manure or anything.
