Ratings & Reviews for Miracle-Gro Vegetables Herbs 1.5 Cubic feet All-purpose Garden soil

Why?

I planted everything in your potting soil and it didn't work very well. Half of the stuff died and the rest is struggling. Why? I'm so upset since we have nothing extra for food.

Horrible soil

You will not let me add image . This is not the type of service I would expect from Zmotacle Grow

Not expecting plastic in garden soil!!!!!

Not expecting plastic in my Garden Soil bag for vegetables and herbs. Seriously, spend the money and potting up my seedlings to be transplanted to my raised bed and yeah, you find the little sticks etc… but plastic? So you, just like others, quality has gone waaaaaaayyyyyyy down. Just grinding it all up. Such a shame. Never again. PS funny how I can’t submit the pictures with this review. Buyers- screen this as you use it. IF you choose to use this product.

Literal Trash- broken glass- in our bag

I have used MG products for years. When I went to go use this bag today, I opened it to discover all kinds of literal garbage in our bag of soil. Broken glass, shredded plastic, huge rocks- I can’t even believe it.

Probably wont purchase next season

I feel like this was dug out of a garbage dump! I have never had glass in soil mix before but most of the 12 bags I opened had huge rocks, pieces of glass, rope, hard plastic, plastic bag pieces, I get that there is compost and little soil but there is a bunch of garbage mixed in.

Unsafe for food or even plants.

Bought 6 bags last week. All full of trash and large wood chips. The soil has endless chunks of rubber, shredded plastic bag pieces, hard white plastic pieces, painted wood pieces, etc. And it also has tons of large wood chips. This is for vegetables but its obviously unsafe for food. I’m very angry about this garbage that clearly came from a landfill.

Bought 6 bags for my container garden. First bag was full of cut worms. No joke. Bag #2 had All kinds of roots with green leaves already started in the bag. It was nasty looking mess. I haven’t used the other 4 bags yet. Very disappointed with this purchase and will not repeat it in the future. I had just spent several hours removing old soil from a planter box and had treated it with corn meal in kill the cut worms that were in the old soil. When the new bag was put in I picked out at least a d...

Did not work as advertised and tons of weeds

Did not work as advertised and tons of weeds, I bought this for my container garden for the back yard. Only about half the plants survived and all of them had bunched of weeds. I used new seeds and no other soils and planted indoors early and had awesome starters until I moved them to the miracle-gro garden soil for vegetables and herbs. My herb and most of my vegetable crow was rtuined this year. 10 bags of this stuff, ugg, never again - You should make this right Miracle-Gro

Garder Soul????? NOT. Ground cover, possible.

Bought 6 bags. No way in Hxxxx you can call this a "Garder Soil." Much less beer for "herbs and vegetables." You need to call the a Ground Cover or Mulch. Has absolutely NO neutrally value for plants. Everything I planted in a raised bed has stunted growth.. No way a Soul, Ground cover, YES. Not HAPPY AT ALL.

More bark than soil

I bought a huge bag and mostly bark. It's not the Miracle-Gro I bought in the past. My friends & I all have noticed a change in this product. I've gone out and bought another bag but this time a cheaper bag & my vegetables are doing better in their pots in the cheaper brand soil. Pamela

Great Vegetable Garden Soil

This soil has the perfect mix of compost. For those complaining about wood chunks and other natural debris have no idea how to take care of a garden. If your plants don't grow in this soil please educate yourself and find out what you are doing wrong!

Glass and plastic

Bought 4 bags of this soil to fill up the remainder of my garden beds. It has massive amounts of plastic and even glass. The high cost does not reflect the poor quality.

Very Poor Quality for the Price

Advertised as garden soil, but it has tree bark and a lot of other non-soil fillers in it. Very poor quality soil for the price that you pay.

Full of weed seeds

I bought 70 bags of Garden Soil to fill newly built raised beds. After letting the soil settle, I returned to start planting in them. I found two of the raised beds full of weed seeds. The other beds had a handful of weeds, which I can accept. But the numerous weeds I found in the two beds I was not happy picking.

Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used as a adder on top of existing soil , top three inches mixed in, in my raised garden area. Helps plants get a good start on the season. Then at end of season just turn under for next year. Have also just cut bag open and planted veggies like cucumbers, green beans, melons, right in bag for season when run out of room.

No soil

I Purchased six bags of this product in Pennsylvania for a small tomato garden,And six bags of this product in Florida for a small tomato garden there too. Both gardens turn to small sticks, sort of like mulch. There is no soil. I’m very disappointed because it wasn’t cheap. I will never buy this again

Horrible... Full of Huge Woodchips

Purchased this to fill raised garden beds. It is worthless. Nothing but huge chunks of woodchips and shredded wood that is not in the least bit composted. It doesn't look much different than wood mulch. There is no soil whatsoever in this trash. My boyfriend had already filled some containers with the one bag, and too hard to get back in bag, so I will eat the cost of that bag, but return the other for refund and purchase something else to fill raised beds.

Very Disappointing

This is not what we would expect from Miracle Gro. We have used their products over the years, but this is so disappointing. We purchased 15 bags for our new garden and it is dry, very little soil and tons of wood shavings. It smelled like mold and appeared to have mold in the bags. Not the rich beautiful product we have been accustomed to using. I would not recommend.

Black and yellow spots

I purchased Miracle Grow vegetable soil and planted only 2 tomato plants. One has black and yellow spots on the leaves. Through my research I found out that the plant is lacking nutrients. Why is this if Miracle Grow is for vegetable plants?

My son found glass in our bag of soil

Me and my 12 year old son found glass in our bag of soil, I'm not happy at all if my son had grabbed that piece of glass and cut himself, he no longer wants to help me in the garden. But I assured him that this soil will go into the trash and will be going to our local co-op instead. Come on you guys need to do better. Very dissatisfied
