Might be great stuff but it was wet, cheap bags

The guy who loaded the bags was GREAT! He came out in the hot weather and loaded most of the bags by himself. Some of the bags were damaged and had water in them that got into my Subaru. The guy apologized and asked me if I still wanted them and that was all they had at the time. I need them so I took them but then had to clean out my car and had to remove my rear cover and hose it off. This may be great stuff for a good price with a nice helper but leaky bags with some having water in them...

Not what it used to be.

Would Not Recommend

Definitely not what it used to be. This used to be my go to when it came to garden soil. Now it’s more like mulch than soil, full of sticks and even rocks. I won’t continue to buy this.

Listen to the bad reviews!

Would Not Recommend

I bought four bags of this to finish off a raised bed. The first bag I opened looked like nice rich soil. The remaining 3 look like mulch. This was my first time trying this product and it looks like I’ll never buy it again! I’m going to have to spend more money to amend the soil to make it useable than if I had just bought the same brand I had before. Stay away!

Wood chips and filler

Would Not Recommend

Potting soil in bags or containers, of course, vary from year to year. However, quality control is really not that difficult, especially when you've got a mixture that is ready to be bagged and run your fingers through it and the majority is uncomposted wood chips. Of course fungus is going to grow out of it. Of course new and existing plants are going to wither and yellow from the high nitrogen content. You've got to be kidding me when you tell me that someone involved with quality control for ...

Buy if you want everything to die!

Would Not Recommend

I'm so angry that I spent $94.00 on this and have no way to get my money back! It is the worst 'vegetable and flower soil' I've ever used. All the plants died that were put in this - some I was able to transplant into better soil and they are thriving now. It is full of fungus and grows nasty mushrooms, completely wood chips and who knows what else! It is truly the worst product I have ever used.

Nice dark soil

Would Recommend

Seems rich and fertile. You could smell a bit of a manure scent to it when it was first put into the raised bed. I'll know more later about how good this soil is.

Great mulch but expensive.

Would Not Recommend

This 'top soil' is great mulch. Nothing grew where I put it in my garden including weeds. However there are less expensive mulch options. It is not soil. It is fertilized fine wood chips.

No good garden soil

Would Not Recommend

I have been gardening for years and I’ve never had a problem growing plants. The plants have been very slow growing and they have plenty of sun light. There seems to be a lot of bark mixed in with the dirt. I even mixed it with compost. I bought it because it was cheaper but I won’t do that again.
