Soil I choose for healthy outdoor pot plants
I have good success using this potting mix after I grow my seedlings. Seems to help the small plants grow healthy.

Not up to standard
I have always used Miracle gro potting soil so when I was starting a new container garden this year I bought 10 big bags. I found the consistency to be so much different than usual....it didn't look like potting soil. It had so much coconut fiber that has shown to be much less water retaining than usual and my self_watering pots ineffective.

Big Beautiful Plants
I have used Miracle-Gro since I moved into my home in 1985. I use it in all my pots, my raised Garden Beds and absolutely love it. I have big beautiful plants every year.

Disappointing product
I have been using Miracle Gro potting mix for my deck plants for years with great success. The bag I bought this year was nothing like prior purchases. It looked like medium fine mulch with small straw-like clumps. I should have returned it but foolishly used it. Plants are not doing well at all and when the soil dries out in the heat it gets rock hard. Very disappointed and will think twice before another purchase.

Great Mix
I discovered Miracle-Gro Potting Mix through a detailed post on https://seedwith.me/is-miracle-gro-potting-mix-good-for-pothos-a-comprehensive-guide-for-plant-lovers/ while researching the best soil for my pothos. After using it for a few months, I can say it truly lives up to the reputation—lightweight, drains well, and my pothos roots are thriving! I’ve noticed faster growth and healthier leaves compared to generic mixes. Highly recommend it for indoor plant lovers.

Mushroom invasion
This is the first year that I’ve been unhappy with this product! I used it when potting my peppers and flower boxes, as I have done for the past four years. This year I have tons of odd mushrooms growing in each pot. After they die out they leave behind a weird clump of. Anyone else with this problem?

Disappointed ….Different quality
I’ve always used the 2cu. Potting soil. This year it is completely different feeling. My plants are not doing well. My plants in the leftover bag from last year are doing well. The 5 new bags from this year are not. Not very happy. No not happy at all. Expensive ! I enjoy my summer flowers. But I’m frustrated this year.

Weeds in pots
This is the second season of finding seedlings growing in my pots which I’ve been able to identify as sunflowers. Yes I feed birds and have chippies but the growth is only in patio and hanging pots I’ve done with your dirt. I have store bought pots and they’re fine. Your product has definitely gone downhill. This will be my last purchase.

Mix won't hold any water
Have always used Miracle Grow. But this year my plants have to be watered twice a day! The water runs straight through the pots and out the bottom. Whatever has been changed is just awful. Buying other brands from now on.

Poor quality!
I bought 2 bags of this for my outdoor pots, but I am very unhappy with quality of the potting soil. It is full of chunky wood pieces and my plants are not doing well in it at all! Past years the potting soil was much better quality. The promised grow 3x bigger plants are false. I had to give extra nutrients in order for them to thrive. What happened to the quality??

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with the Miracle Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. The small pieces of bark and twigs in our potting soil are intentional components. However, you shouldn't find large pieces of wood or bark. Most of our soils, especially our potting mixes and garden soils, are made from composted forest products. They contain very little, if any, actual soil. This is by design! Composted forest products offer several benefits: high organic content, reduced compaction, and improved aeration. The coarser material allows air to reach the roots of your plants, promoting better performance over time. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-295-6902 if we can further assist.

It's a Miracle
This is a perennial Hibiscus on it's 3rd season. I left it in the nursery soil originally. It almost died the first season. I kept it over the winter somehow and last summer it lived, but looked like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. Don't know why I kept it, but this spring I replanted it with Miracle grow soil. This little hibiscus that could, has transformed into a thriving, beautiful plant. Unbelievable.

No Longer What It Used To Be
I would like to begin by saying that I have purchased Miracle-gro products for decades. With that said, this year, I purchased a number of bags of Miracle-gro potting mix. What I have found was no soil in any of my bags. All that is in them is sticks, of varying sizes, bark, of varying sizes, peat moss, some perlite, and what appears to be some type of fir. Granted, I will gladly admit that there is benefit to these products. However, they should not comprise the entirety of a potting mix. There needs to be soil in some form or quantity. I did still have two bags from last year, which I did open. The difference was truly astonishing for what is supposed to be the same product.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and appreciate your feedback. While large pieces of bark should be filtered out during processing small pieces of bark are added to our media to improve drainage and prevent the soil from compacting. The addition of this coarser material to our potting mix allows oxygen to reach the roots and improves plant performance. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back.

Gnat heaven
Just opened a brand new bag of miracle gro potting soil and it was full of gnats. Disgusting and don't dare use for fear they will spread.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 10 months ago
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle Gro Potting Soil and appreciate your feedback. While the gnats are annoying to deal with they will not harm your plants. They can enter the bags in shipping or while being stored at the retailer. We recommend adding a 1/2 inch layer of sand to the tops of the pots. This will not allow the gnats to burrow and will kill the larvae. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

Poor product
Last year….great product that I’ve used for 20 yrs This year…..terrible! Used it for outdoor planters but I would not use for my houseplants There are poor reviews from last year but apparently you are more interested in profit and not quality and fixing the product.
