About Miracle-Gro VB00008 2-Pack Potting Mix, 8 qt, colorless
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
63% liked its excellent drainage properties, but 37% found it retained too much water
I had to buy new soil because the soil was completely hydrophobic, causing the plants to die.
60% appreciated its pleasant, earthy aroma, while 40% found it had an unpleasant odor
I noticed a foul odor coming from the box and bags.
The product has very little actual dirt and is all fluffy filler stuff.
65% appreciated its optimal ph level, though 35% found it too acidic
I suggest that the product works well when mixed with good top soil and adding fertilizer and/or compost, which may indicate that the ph balance of the garden-soil is affected by the product.
67% praised for its high nutrient content
My plants love miracle grow and perform better in miracle grow soil than others I have tried before.
63% liked its well-balanced soil structure, but 37% found it too sandy
I had to pick out several pieces of plastic from the soil which had a lot of large and small pieces of mulch in it.
I noticed that the soil is completely hydrophobic, meaning it repels water.
I found plastic roots and other impurities in the soil, which is not expected from potting soil. The quality of the soil has gone down.
It's difficult for me to start any kind of seed as it cannot push through all the wood and leaves to grow.
66% appreciated its ability to suppress weeds, although 34% found it didn't work as well as expected
I was dealing with a gnat infestation and wasn't sure where it was coming from. Later, I found out it was coming from an unopened bag of potting soil.
