What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this potting soil for promoting healthy plant growth and strong value for money. Most report plants thriving with visible improvements in health across houseplants, flowers, and vegetables. Many highlight excellent performance compared to premium alternatives at a lower price point. However, a notable concern centers on excessive wood chunks and coarse texture that some describe as mulch-like. Additionally, several customers report fungus gnat infestations and poor drainage, particularly for indoor use. Despite these drawbacks, most consider it an effective, affordable choice for container gardening.

All wood chips
Would Not RecommendPurchased to start seeds with soil blocks. It’s all old wood chunks. Returning.
Skip it
Would Not RecommendNot very good. Mostly peat. Even miracle grow is better
This soil is great. I like that it has sand in it- helps with preventing compaction and allows for good drainage. I'm detracting a star because there were several very large pieces of material (poorly processed bark and wood chips). The processing and sieving is lackluster but I suppose thats the trade off for the price.
dirt
Would Recommendit did good for the plants
would not buy again
Would Not RecommendThe 32qt bags were on sale so I took a chance even though the reviews aren't great. As soon as I dumped it in the wheelbarrow I knew I'd made a mistake. The soil is loaded with sticks and large wood chunks. I started to pick them out by hand, then decided to use my 1/2"x1/2" screen. About 25% of the product is wood. I will not buy this product again and I would advise others to do the same. See attached pics. The smaller pile is what I picked out by hand, the larger pile is what I screened out. ...

very dissatisfied
Would Not Recommendi would never purchase again, this does not absorb the water like a miracle grow and it does not seem to promote growth. going back to miracle grow next season!!!

Easy peasy!
Would RecommendWorks well with little effort on my part.
Compared to Miracle Gro..
Would RecommendBought a lot of this to plant tomatoes, berries, cucumbers etc in containers. I had been using Miracle Gto mx, which is great quality. However, this seems to have less peat moss than MG and holds moisture better. Too much peat makes the mix feel dryer and water flows through. This mix has a lot of fertilizer mixed in as well. Recommend this so far.
I wish I read the reviews...
Would Not RecommendIt looked OK but my flower beds are full of clover and grass. Do NOT buy unless you like weeding. Have never had this issue before, and first time buying this brand. Yikes.
Need for plants
Would RecommendThis product is for pot plants. I guess it will keep the soil moisture better.
We are sorry you were unhappy with your product. We would love to have more information so we can identify the issue for you as well as take that fee...
