Sta-Green Flower and Vegetable Garden Soil is a very cheap bagged option for filling beds, mixing into garden soil, or starting a few seeds when amended. The low price and pickup or delivery workarounds make it attractive, and the bags can be useful when bulk delivery is expensive. The main concern is quality, with repeated reports of wood chips, low nutrients, poor water retention, and plants being stunted or killed unless compost, perlite, peat moss, or other amendments are added. It seems best treated as a filler or base mix rather than a stand alone planting medium.
Common Questions (4)
Store pickup is handled at the loading zone: buy the quantity you want, bring the receipt or loading slip, and staff usually load the bags. Delivery pricing can be odd, with some carts getting $2.99 delivery for smaller quantities and free delivery sometimes requiring a weight threshold or a cart tweak.
It can be poor as a standalone planting mix because it may be heavy on wood chips and low in nutrients. Several people use it only after amending with compost, perlite, peat moss, coco coir, sand, or fertilizer; others report plants stunting or dying when it is used straight from the bag.
Yes. Some stores appear to get a better local blend, while others receive a mix that is mostly wood chips or otherwise poor quality, so results can differ by region and supplier.
It is not a good choice for seed starting unless it is heavily amended. The mix can be too light, woody, and low in nutrients, and poor germination or stunted seedlings are a reported risk; some people only use a small amount for seed starting after mixing it with other materials.

As an aside, I've always done bulk delivery from local mulch producers (there is one only 2 miles from my house) but every place around me now charges ~$75 for delivery because of diesel prices, so these bags are now the best priced option.

I got a drop, and while it was a LOT, I did get rid of it by sharing the excess with neighbors.

Our area it comes from utility veg management, which means primarily live oak and pine, its full of leaves, twigs, sap, and not good quality stuff. They also abuse the system (again, just talking about our area) and they will continue dumping loads until there is no more room regardless of what you say. They will show up when you arent home and drop 20-30 yards of the stuff.
