The worst soil I have bought
1 out of 5 stars
Nicole - 14 days ago

So disappointed with this product. The plants I planted in regular miracle-gro are thriving and healthy but the plants in this organic raised bed soil are struggling. Half the seeds didn’t even come up while I had a 100% seed germination and flowering with the regular miracle-gro. I bought 23 bags of this stuff and it was a total waste of money. 3/4 of the bags were filled with mulch and not soil.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Organic Raised Bed & Garden Soil and appreciate your feedback. Seeds will not germinate until all growing conditions are to their specific liking. Seeds need warm soil temperature (usually 55 degrees), continuously moist soil, and bright light. Fluctuating temperatures or lack of moisture will delay germination. Very wet soil will cause seeds to rot. A good rule of thumb is that the soil should stay continuously moist, like a squeezed out sponge. Also, some ornamental seed species require a period of cold or soaking in water before they will germinate. 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.
Poor quality contaminated product

Disappointed in Wisconsin - 20 days ago
originally posted on Miracle-Gro
I’m very disappointed in this product. I purchased several bags in 2025. The soil smelled horribly and contained two types of broken glass, shredded plastic and solid fecal material. Most of the soil was actually shredded wood. I’ve never had a bad MiracleGro product in 30 years of gardening but this product is not what I expect when I buy from a trusted supplier.

FUNGUS GNATS

Hi, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Organic Raised Bed Soil and appreciate your feedback. We recommend to apply at least 1/2 inch of horticultural sand on top of the soil of potted/container plants. Larvae cannot burrow through the sand and will die. Horticultural sand should be left on the container for several weeks, until the problem is solved. These insects do not harm humans and do little plant damage (they primarily feed on the fungus found naturally in soil). Allow the soil to dry out as much as possible between watering will help control 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Part of the influester review program. It took a while to find this soil, but it was definitely worth the search. The texture was nicely moist, which made planting seeds much easier. I am huge on gardening as I feel I have a brown thumb. So, I used it with my children to create a resurrection garden in celebration of Easter and the arrival of spring. I’m no expert when it comes to planting, but thanks to the high quality of this soil, our seeds sprouted in just a few days. The value of this 1-gallon bag was great, affordable and effective. The packaging was also thick and durable, which was a huge plus since I didn’t want to risk making a mess in the car during transport.
Don’t Buy!

This organic raised bed and garden soil is horrible. It’s more like mulch than soil. It has sticks and wood all through it. DO NOT BUY!

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Organic Raised Bed & Garden Soil and appreciate your feedback. Most of our soils, especially potting mixes and garden soils, are made of composted forest products. Composted forest products provide high organic content and nutrients without the concern for soil compaction which often occurs with potting mixes composed primarily of actual topsoil. The coarser material allows for air to reach the roots of the plant which improves plant performance. While small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our growing media, including potting soil, garden soil, lawn soil, topsoil, etc., you should not find large pieces of wood or bark. 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.

I brought a few bags for raised bed for my attempt to grow ‘organic’ fruits. The soil has a nasty smell and lots of shredded plastic and glass and nails. I picked up a few from one bag for the picture. I don’t have the time to write reviews but this is beyond disappointing. I can’t grow organic with soil filled with trash and micro plastics.

I've had wood mulch with smaller wood pieces. Smells like manure hasn't fully composted, several chunks (thumb size and larger) of wood, and tons of bugs (and doubt they're beneficials). I bought several bags because the store was having a sale. Used some of it as mulch (hopefully the wood chunks won't tie up nitrogen in the actual soil). Will probably put the remaining bags in a compost pile and hope they're usable by fall

Wish I had read some of the reviews before I purchased this. Seems like it’s just a mix of mulch and garbage. I’m finding plastic and glass pieces in there and it seems to have unleashed an infestation of gnats- thankfully I haven’t gotten too far in my planting. I might just scrape this off and start over. But what a waste and disappointment.

It promotes mold. I bought 30 bags n it isn't suitable
1 reply from Customer Care team - 2 months ago
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Organic Raised Bed & Garden Soil. Fungal spores are naturally present in soil. Under suitable conditions, these spores can develop into fungi or mold. Our growing media products are not sterilized and may contain microorganisms, including fungi. In fact, fungi have been scientifically proven to enhance plant growth, which is why we do not sterilize our soil. Mold growth only becomes problematic when there is an overgrowth. This overgrowth typically occurs when the soil excessively wet. The mold that grow on our soils and mulch are generally safe for humans. However, we recommend wearing gloves when handling these materials as a precautionary measure. To address fungal growth, we recommend the following steps: For unused soil: Allow the soil to dry out completely on some newspaper outside before using it. For used soil: Allow the plants to dry out slightly between waterings. This will not harm the plants. Allow the soil to dry out: As the soil dries, the mold, fungi, and moss will subside. Prevent recurrence: Once the mold or fungi have subsided, they should not return as long as the surface is not kept excessively moist, which would promote their growth. We hope this information is helpful. If there is anything we can do to help you have a 5-star experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 888-295-6902 for assistance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the 2024 Miracle-Gro® Organic Raised Bed & Garden Soil, and I’m thoroughly impressed! It has a rich, well-aerated texture that made planting a breeze. My plants have been thriving since I used it, showing strong growth and vibrant colors. I love that it’s organic and safe for my garden, and it helps retain moisture while still providing good drainage. The quality of the soil is top-notch, and I’ve seen noticeable improvements in the health of my vegetables and flowers. Highly recommend it to any gardener looking to boost their garden’s performance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the Miracle Grow organic raised garden soil. I planted Elephant ears bulbs for the past 2 years. After the first time with no results I was happy to try Miracle Grow Organic soil this summer with perfect results! Will definitely be using again in the Spring for all my plants. Highly recommend.
