Miracle Gro potting mix has been a staple for many gardeners, but recent batches have raised concerns about quality. While some guests report thriving plants and excellent moisture retention, others have encountered issues with inconsistent texture, excessive wood chips, and even pest infestations. Despite these challenges, many still appreciate its lightweight nature and nutrient-rich composition, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor gardening. Guests recommend it for its effectiveness in promoting healthy plant growth, though caution is advised when purchasing new bags.

Fnats.
Like other reviews I’ve seen, I found gnats in my soil even though I didn’t actually use it for weeks, and kept it indoors. Potted five plants and all now have tons of gnats.

Fungus gnats
Only purchase if you want an endless fungus gnat infestation
1 reply from Miracle-Gro Consumer Services team - 25 days ago
We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Fungus gnats do not harm humans and do little plant damage (they primarily feed on the fungus found naturally in soil). Possible ways to control fungus gnats include: allowing the soil to dry out as much as possible between waterings to help control the larvae. You may also try applying at least 1/2" of horticultural sand on top of the soil of the potted 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. The sand does not have to be removed, but if you wish to remove it, dispose of it by recycling in a garden, landscape or lawn area. We want you to feel confident when using our products. That's why we offer a product guarantee: If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to a refund of your purchase price (limitations apply).

While we do not sterilize the soil it is composted to kill any harmful insects and microbes. Unfortunately, soils may become infested with insects while in storage or while they are waiting for sale. In some cases, soils become infested with fungus gnats. Fungus gnats enter the bagged product through the tiny air holes in the bag that are necessary for the soil to "breathe". Fungus gnats are often mistaken for fruit flies. They do little damage but are unpleasant if present in large numbers. These insects do not feed upon plants, but lay their eggs in soil that contains organic matter. After a week the eggs hatch, and the larvae crawl through the upper layer of the soil. The larvae are white, 1/4 inch long, and have black heads. They feed on fungi that grow on organic matter. The larvae usually do not damage plants but, when present in large numbers, may feed on the roots of some plants, killing very young seedlings. The larvae feed for about 2 weeks before maturing into adults. There can be many generations in a single year. We want you to be confident in our products.

Fresh dirt
This was a great price for this product, and it the dirt was moist, not wet, but definitely felt fresh. Sometimes bags of potting mix can be dried out and feel stale (IYKYK). I would buy this potting mix from Target again.

Awful. My plants were doing well and thriving but then ants and gnats became a problem. I had to call pest control for the ants. So frustrating
