Bags will tear open
Would Not RecommendSolid is pretty good but the bags are terrible. There were 10+ ripped open on the pallet and one of the 4 I bought ripped as I loaded it into my car.
mulch anyone?
Would Not RecommendI purchased 34 bags of this for my raised garden beds. It's my first year gardening and I keep having to tell my friends I didn't add mulch when they tell me I added too much. I am going to have to take a break over the cool growing season to pull some of this out and fix the beds.

Cheap in price and quality
Would Not RecommendMostly mulch/compost, not soil to speak of. Contains bits of shredded plastic. Dries out quickly in sun or breeze.

Not garden soil
Would Not RecommendUnfortunately, this product is more like mulch with lots of large pieces of wood. Wound up mixing one bag 50/50 with potting soil. Then using a hand bulb planter to make holes in this product was extremely frustrating as a hand bulb planter is not capable of sawing through wood. Fortunately, only bought two bags. Used one bag to mix with potting soil and filled in a hole with the other.

Great very and herb soil.
It absorbs and retain water better for my plants and herbs . Once opened the soil doesn’t dry and stays moist and fresh on the opened bag for days.
