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?
If you plan to use it indoors in pots, use potting mix soil.

I did that once, and I found lots of bugs coming from it. It might be just luck but I'm sticking with ones that say specifically indoors.

These soil amendements are all contracted out to massive landscaper and tree trimmer corporations. You never know what you are going to get. Sometimes nothing will even grow in these soils due to contamination. Sometimes you will get plastic, large rocks, big sticks in the bags. If it rains you may end up with bags of pure wet mud. These frustraiting problems are not uncommon for all the box store bags of soils. Avoid the manure bags. Full of weed seeds.

You can call your local landscapers to see if they carry garden soil. Most do not. If they do, delivery can range from $60-$150 on average and they will only dump up to the safest point. Usually 9 yards is the most they can deliver at one time. Not directly where you want it. But they will try. Then it's up to you to move it all from there.

If you have access to a pickup truck, put a large tarp in the bed when you get to a location that sells bulk soil by the yard. They will use heavy equipment to scoop and dump (2 yards per scoop average) into your bed. Then you can drive or back up to where you need to unload.

Would it be economical to buy this for lawn leveling? Looks to be a pretty good price since home depot sells 1cuft for $3.3

I feel like that's obvious 😆 FYI, if you have a Menard's near you, they have pickup trucks you can rent for $18.95 for 75 minutes. https://www.menards.com/main/rent...-19171.htm
How you gonna drive to pick up soil, load up, drive home, dump out soil and return truck in 75 minutes?
Do they charge another $19 for the next 75mins?

This is also my discovery, just buy this fill from a local landscape supply and it will be much cheaper. I then us the miracle grow to supplement.

I bought a bunch of these and they were mostly decomposed forest products. Shredded wood. Not bad at all for this price

I prefer one at local Costco "Miracle-Gro Organic Choice, Raised Bed & In-Ground Soil with Compost" for $7.79 after $2 OFF for 50 quarts (55 liter)
hmm.. that one has terrible reviews online... mostly compost with twigs and other heavy stuff in it as well. Sad that buying quality soil in bulk is such a chore... not to mention that you might get all sorts of chemicals you didn't expect/want either!

Except.. do you really know what is in that "fill"!??!? I would not put fill anything in my garden space... even fill for your yard is subject to finding out the fill is contaminated with something bad...
