Overall Feedback:

71% liked its excellent drainage properties, but 29% found it retained too much water

74% appreciated its ability to suppress weeds, although 26% found it didn't work as well as expected
After using the moisture control stuff, I have been plagued with fungus gnats.
After repotting my plants, everything was infested with gnats within two days. This was not a problem I had before using this soil, so it seems that the product is not good in weed suppression.
After using the soil for four months, I have been dealing with fungus gnats nonstop.
