Hi, I am OG SlickDealer... I market and sell garden plants and veggies for a living. One of my duties is to monitor and respond to my multiple brands social media accounts. I get asked a ton of questions about what went wrong and I want to share my experience with MG soils.

The year it was first introduced to the market we had tons of customers that used the soil and their plants practically melted in the soil. Leaves turned brown, or puckered and shriveled from the amount of nutrients that were added to the soil. Seeds and seedlings can be delicate and to much fertilizer will stunt their growth, call leaf necrosis and/or can straight up kill young plants.

If you already planted and the plants are suffering you can remove and replant. Another solution is to flood the planter or ground to dilute and water down or wash the fertilizer out of the soil with tons and tons of water.

The second year the soil was out we got a message asking if it was possible to be allergic to a certain herb. Every time this lady and her daughter worked in the garden her daughter got hives and itched severely. After asking 20 questions about everything she put in the garden she mentioned MG Soil.

I reached out to industry contacts, and a garden center was had the number to the soil division of Miracle Grow. I learned that the yellow and green bag products were made from composted peanut plants and shells, yet the bags offered no warning. After the decomposition process they said the allergens should be inert. The customer I was working with said her children were incredibly sensitive to peanuts, and that she would remove the soil from her garden.

MG does have other fantastic soils. Look out for their Organic line in lime green bags. The stuff is amazing. It holds water, has a good amount of peat and fiber that breaks down in the garden. It has low or next to no fertilizer added and is fabulous to work with. I was at a convention and was able to take home 10 large bags for free and was hesitant after my customers experiences. I was pleasantly surprised at how great it is. It is more expensive than the yellow and green bags, but... It is worth it.

I recently discovered when looking to fill my raised bed that buying soil with compost is significantly cheaper in bulk at a landscaping store, if you have one close by. They sell it in my area at $40 /cu yd, where this stuff is $81.81 /cu yd. 😶

(Math: This soil is $3.03/cu ft. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. 27 * 3.03 = $81.81)

Its a super heavy soil. Basically compacts too much for indoor pots. No aeration in it unless you mix with peat moss/vermiculite or other remedies.

Stupid question, it specifically says in ground use, does that mean you shouldn't use it indoors in pots?
soil not prescribed for indoors could cause mold formation inside the house. Beware.

You may. Actually I have seen stores selling soil as garden / raised bed soil. But I wouldn't use them indoor.

Peat moss is good for moisture rention but could compact around root and reduce oxygen flow to root. Vermiculite will help in aeration to the roots.

I used to use this when I was a newbie gardener, not anymore. These are just wood chips, I will use these to mulch my garden beds. If you want potting soil, spend a bit more and get a better mix, like the Kellogg citrus and cactus mix.

Now I'm curious why a cubic yard is 27.78 cubic ft instead of 27 🤔. If 3ft=yd, then should a cuyd be 3ft*3ft*3ft=27cuft?

Ordered 12 bags for curbside pick up from a nearby store that shows has 5000 bags in stock. 10 minutes after, got a cancellation email, I guess they are just too lazy to pick my order.

very seldom. I have used this product for over 20 years in several states. Only may once or twice, do I find other plastic in them. That's about it.

I've been using Google's Bard and ChatGPT recently for any questions I have, rather than Googling everything. I got the 27.78 from Bard and just copied the result. I then went back and told it that it was wrong, and it corrected itself to 27. 😆 Sorry for not catching that, but thanks for pointing it out! AI and human fail!

Haha okay! I thought maybe it was some weird quirk about how soil was measured
