What Customers Are Saying
Customers largely praise this product's effectiveness as a soil amendment, noting improved plant growth, moisture retention, and soil structure at an affordable price. Many appreciate its ease of use and long-term value. However, a significant group disputes its labeling, arguing it's mulch or shredded wood rather than true compost. Despite this classification debate, most users report excellent results in gardens and containers. Some mention minor issues like inconsistent texture or wood pieces, but these concerns are outweighed by functional satisfaction and value.

Excellent Aerate and Stimulate Soil Product
It appears that it actually does help aerate soil and stimulate the root system on the plants/grass.

Way, way too much tree bark
Would Not RecommendWay, way too much tree bark. I am talking about fresh tree bark and parts of trees after this was watered.

Great
Would RecommendIt is great stuff. Would be better if you kept it covered and dry. You have to wait days for it to become usable when it’s wet.

Hopefully it’s get better after this batch.
Normally it’s a great product. Not this time. This time it was a bag of mulch (with large pieces) that I can get cheaper than what a paid for this product.

You should purchase it.
Would RecommendGreat soil for my vegetable barrels.
Great deal!
Would RecommendThe price is low for what you get. No, it's not perfecty finished compost and has small sticks in it. But it's great for a little over $4 and my plants don't mind the little sticks.
Excellent Mulch
Would RecommendThis is far from being compost, so I was disappointed when I opened it. I had mold and mushrooms growing on the top of my soil, so I laid this product on top (and lightly rake it every day) and haven't seen any mold or mushrooms since.
the name is a lie, wood mulch
Would Not Recommendthis is not compost, at all, what is wrong with these peeps calling it compost, it is wood chip mulch
It feeds the plants and slow release.
Would RecommendI use it sound plant.
