Ratings & Reviews for Sta-Green 2-cu ft Organic Garden Soil

Mulch not soil

I bought 1 bag today at Lowes since I had run out of my normal potting mix and urgently needed some to cover grass sprigs in my lawn. I should have checked these reviews, but it was starting to rain and I needed to get back home. I expected to find garden soil with fertilizer. Like others here, I found the contents of this bag to be totally unacceptable. It was mostly wood chips, with very little soil mixed in and there was almost no fertilizer. Do not use this product as 'garden soil' because...

STONES

I bought 40 bags on sale. I found stones/rocks in every bag. I also agree with the others that report the 'dirt' being more like mulch. So disappointed. At least I bought it on sale. I will say this is the first year I've had any issues.

So far so good

Cleaner than miracle grow.

Tried this soil out this year for topping off/mixing into our garden. Hoping it helps, I will say it had no garbage in like the miracle grow soils we bought last year, mulch content was low so I would buy again.

Dirty dirt

It’s dirt, pretty much black and dirty.

Garden soil

Bags had mildew growing on soil but it should not affect it as I just mixed up the bag before using Plants seem to be doing well but only been a week

Great for containers, raised bed, in ground.

I really like to use this in my pots, raised beds and my in ground flowerbeds, it seems to not have a many sticks in it as other brands and it doesn't dry out super fast in my pots. I do line the bottom of my pots with a cheap diaper before putting in my soil, it helps so much during our super hot Oklahoma summers.

This is just mulch

This is just mulch, shredded a bit finer than regular mulch. It is irresponsible of Lowe's to sell it as garden soil.

Wish I bought Miracle Gro brand

Bag was full of broken wood sticks and branches. Some were at least an inch thick.

don't buy this

to many large twigs sticks and chunks of wood after sifting through the bags i ended up with half a bag

I'll never buy again

We bought this for our new raised bed, 10 bags. There are lots of "things" we're finding in the dirt now, Pieces of hard plastic, pieces of wire, things I'm not sure what it is. We're using it for a vegetable garden and don't want all of that in our food, which we probably won't because nothing is growing in it.

Good Dirt !

Having tried Virago garden soil, this is MUCH better. Not only was the bag bigger, but the uality of the soil was better, with less junk and large wood pieces mixed in. Good dirt !

My tomatoes love it

Good quality soil at a moderate price
