What Customers Are Saying
The Sta-Green Potting Soil Mix appears to be a mixed bag in terms of quality and performance. While some customers report good results, many indicate major issues, including an excessive amount of non-soil materials, poor moisture retention, mold and pest problems, and large debris mixed in. Overall, a significant number of customers reported the soil killed or severely damaged their plants, and it is not recommended for most potted plant applications.

Would Not RecommendSo I opened a bag of this potting mix and there’s no actual soil to speak of in the bag. The bag was mostly unfinished wood mulch of different colors and varieties, sticks, and very little finished soil. I’ve loved their soil for years, but this bag was all bulk and no soil. I had to add amendments to it which did not help at all.
Trying another brand
Would Not RecommendThere was plastic bits in my bag. Such as a broken fork. Other small debris.
Does not like water

Best soil ever
Would RecommendI love this soil. I started using it when my normal purchase of miracle gro soil was out of stock. My plants have never looked better and this is my go to soil now. And bonus it’s less expensive than miracle gro.
Killed my plants
