Worth the hassle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Miracle- Gro has the best texture of any of the potting mix I’ve tried. It really helped my plants take off! I don’t mind the earthy smell. Others can be way more over powering.

Light, fluffy and perfect for a healthy start.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a fan of Miracle Grow products for awhile. I used this to start some dill in a small herb pot, and it’s been a great experience. I was really impressed with the consistency of the mix. It was light, loose and evenly textured, which made it easy to fill the pot and plant the seeds without dealing with clumps or compressed soil. It also seems to hold moisture consistently without becoming waterlogged or soggy. I will use this for more ...

Good for outdoor flower pots planting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The potting mix was very light so we had to mix it with top soil to weigh it down. The flowers came up beautifully. The moisture was beneficial with the heat we’ve been experiencing lately.

Retains Water
Would Not RecommendWe've had a heat wave, yet this potting soil is still wet after skipping watering hanging baskets for days. Pots drain well, now looks like need to repot Petunias due root rot.
Great moisturizer control potting soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked testing the Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting mix. It was the perfect sized bag for my flower planters. It did a great job keeping my plants looking healthy, and it didn’t have a weird smell like some soil does. It was a soft soil that didn’t kick up a bunch of dust. I like that it has moisture control because I will be able to save the soil I don’t use for other plants. This soil is great for anyone that likes to display plan...

Works great for indoor/outdoor plants
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for my review. This product works as expected. I watered my plant and didn’t need to water again for a week. I noticed after repotting, new growth appeared on this plant. I’ve only used it in one of my indoor/outdoor plants but will continue to use it for other decorative plants as it seems to work well

Overwatering prevention soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I repotted my plant and used some of this soil in the pot, the packaging states it prevents overwatering so i poured most of the soil about half way up to the top so when i water the soil directly i won’t overwater and so far its been soaking up the water good it i noticed it slowly soaks it which is possibly how it prevents overwatering. The bag is the perfect size for a large plant pot, it’s not heavy at all, it doesn’t smell bad and it’s not...
