What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this potting soil for promoting healthy plant growth and exceptional value, with most reporting thriving houseplants, geraniums, and container gardens. Many highlight its performance at a competitive price point compared to premium alternatives. However, some raise concerns about inconsistent texture, noting excessive large wood chunks and mulch-like composition that resembles mulch more than fine soil. A few report pest issues and drainage problems related to the organic debris. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it reliable and worthwhile for container gardening.

Only way to purchase potting soil

Easy to purchase. Easy to pick up

Disappointed - Would Not Buy Again :(

Would Not Recommend

It was lucky that I only bought this 32 dry quart bag as this product is unusable as potting mix due to the number of large pieces of stick and small stones in the bag. It could not be used in seed trays and where it was used in larger pots, developed a green mold on the surface. It proved to be a very expensive bag of mulch.

Ok for outside pots, not inside

Would Not Recommend

Used to report inside plants. Fungus gnats galore in about 3 days. This is the second time we have tried this brand and the second time our inside plants were infected with fungus gnats. So use it for outside pots/beds only, unless you like fungus gnats.

Grumpy Truck Driver, part 2

Would Not Recommend

Potting mix I bought, I started sifting to get the excess of seeds out. It was a 15.2 lb bag, I didn't weigh the seeds by themselves as the mix also has mulch chips. But I lost ⅓ of the bag volume sifting out the seeds and a lot of mulch. It was a waste of time and money.

Too Many Live Seeds

Would Not Recommend

Bought a bag to set myself up for spring seedlings. After opening it it looked as though it had plenty of compost to act as slow release fertilizer. Unfortunately it had not been aged hot enough to kill the live seeds in the mix. I used some repot several of my house geraniums. Too many live seeds
