Expert Gardener Potting Mix for Potted Plants, 8 Quart, All-Purpose Soil

It's good soil for the price. Miracle Grow has more fertilizer in it and perlite, but this is a few dollars cheaper. I use this and mix it with Miracle Grow potting mix and it works great with my plants. I use it in my fabric pots. I would recommend it.

The plants loved this dirt, great for both indoor houseplants and outdoor they loved it. I did not see any gnats or any insects when it arrived it arrived in great condition. It absorbed the water very quickly, I mixed it with dried egg shells. I'm going to be purchasing more loved it. Also great price very affordable, I most definitely recommend.

It’s basically mulch. Full of sticks and filler. I don’t notice anything of value. It stinks like mulch too with that strong smell. I wanted to try something other than miracle grow because I kept seeing its subpar but this is so much worse and now my plants are dying. Super disappointed.

This soil gave me fungus gnats. I’m so upset because I’m dealing with a gnat issue. Couldn’t figure out where the issue was coming from but realized that every new potted plant where I used that specific soil had thee most gnats on the sticky traps I put in the soil. I wondered why my hallway light-bug catcher had so many gnats when there are No plants in my hallway. I finally open my closet door, where I had been storing the bag and see gnats on the bag! Immediately went into the incinerator room but now I have a fungus gnat issue to resolve. I’ve already purchase a set of bug catching plug-in draining my electricity 24/7 in 3 outlets! I had to use neem oil sprays and may have to repot all of those plants to get rid of the issue in the soil! A complete headache. And I’ve never had a pest issue in any of my plants. I’m so annoyed!

Run, don't walk, away from this product. I am an avid gardener and decided to transplant some of my beautiful indoor plants into new containers using Expert Gardener Potting Mix for Potted Plants. What a disaster it has been. Shortly after re-potting, my home became completely infested with fungus gnats. I spent so much money on sticky traps, sprays, and natural remedies, desperately trying to get rid of the pests, never realizing the source of the problem was the very soil I had just bought. It turns out this potting mix was already infested with gnats and their eggs. The experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. I had to throw out three of my beautiful ivy plants and am now fighting to save my elephant ear houseplant, which I've moved outside in the hope that the soil will dry out and choke out the remaining gnats. This has been the worst product I've ever bought, causing me nothing but stress, wasted money, and the loss of some of my favorite plants. I would return this mess to Walmart, but honestly, I don't even want this trash soil in my car. Do yourself a favor and choose a different brand.

If you like sticks, wood chips, lolly pop sticks, chopped up landscape lumber, then this is for you. If you want potting soil, buy something else. My guess is that one half of this "soil" was just some form of wood. And why was there a lolly pop stick in this? Don't do it!

This stuff pretending to be potting ( mix) soil is junk. It has more wood chips in it than anything and it was moldy right out of the package. I hate it. Will never buy it again

Awful. Mostly sticks and crap in it. The smell was horrendous. Some combo of chemicals and dead animal. Used it anyway figuring it would fade. It has but now I have a horrendous fungus gnat infestation and it is all coming from the plants I used this soil with. And they keep growing mushrooms. I haven’t watered any of them in weeks and the gnats continue. Do not buy.

I’ve recently bought a different product from this company and liked it, but this soil is DISGUSTING %26 was a complete waste of my money!!!! It smells like straight waste, poop!!! And probably 2/3 of the 2cf I got was a mixture of HUGE sticks, rocks, %26 GARBAGE! Like seriously?!!! After 24 hours of potting and my plants sitting outside, it still wreaks outside making it impossible to enjoy ourselves on our back patio!!! I would not recommend this soil to anyone!!!!

I bought a 2cf bag and used it to start seeds outside and potting several annuals. It's been 2 months and the seedlings (the ones that actually germinated) are still about 3 inches tall. Absolutely stunted. The annuals are the same. They look exactly the same as they did when I potted them. Except for the moss rose; after 2-3 weeks it just stopped blooming and growing. The zinnias even stopped and it's really hard to hurt zinnias. I don't know if it was just a bad batch, but I wasted a lot of money and time with this mix. I read the reviews and I'm convinced I received a bag that was defective somehow, but I'm still disappointed.
