Would Not RecommendWithin 1 week of applying this soil to my vegetable bed, I began having repeated stinkhorn fruiting bodies with strong fecal odor and heavy fly attraction. I have not had this issue previously. First time using this dirt and now deal daily with stinkhorn infestation. Would avoid this soil if you are not a fan of heavy poop smelling fungus and their fly buddies in your garden beds.
Plenty to fill a raised garden bed
Would RecommendBigger bag than I thought
Great product and Great price. I really liked the fact that this garden soil had fertilizer in it.
One came delivered open
Would RecommendI like mixing this with other soil and perlite. Comes out fluffy. I figure all the sticks will decompose and become organic matter.

Makes my plants happy!
Would RecommendGreat product - I use it in all my gardens when I put in new plants.
Actually is Dirt
Would RecommendThis product is actually what one would expect as "soil" and not a bag of bark chunks. Is more like good farm dirt.
Excellent Dirt for Garden Beds
Would RecommendI tried 4 different types of compost/soil mixes initially (all purchased from Lowes). After trying each, only one soil mix passed with flying colors - the Sta-Green 2 cubic feet for Vegetable and Flowers Garden soil. It was well screened, very few to no clumps, soil was easy flowing when placed in the raised garden beds, and it settled well. Excellent soil for my needs. Thank you Lowes for carrying this compost mix soil!
