Stay away from this stuff, I bought 80 bags last year and it killed every plant I put into it or severally stunted it. In 20 years I never had the same issue w/ the miracle grow garden soil. Never again w/ this garbage!

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.

gardeners who plan to amend before planting because commenters say it has very low nutrients out of the bag and needs compost/amendments to work (and that it's mostly wood pieces you can amend).

people planting annuals and doing a couple of years of regular garden work because some commenters say it grew well for them over the last 2-3 years (and they also note results can be regional).
poorSAP DangerQuail
home gardeners in zone 8 Washington who only need a bag or two cheaply for seed starting because one commenter says it "sucks" there but they still buy it cheap for seed starting.
balut
homeowners using it as low-cost fill under sod/embankments because one commenter says they're using it as cheap fill where they can't get machinery delivered dirt (and they're mainly concerned about washing away, not plant nutrition).
Indus_FL
people who need bagged soil for a hilly property where moving bulk isn't practical because one commenter says bagged is best for their large, hilly lot since even a wheelbarrow isn't convenient in some areas.
turnne

gardeners who want to pour it in as a standalone planting medium because multiple commenters say it's mostly wood chips/"trash" and not good for plants unless it's rototilled/mixed in properly or heavily amended.
abhayss Mark42mc scruffylookin
buyers who want to avoid low-quality/dirty bag contents because commenters report bags being "full of trash" and another says they checked an open bag and decided not to buy because the soil was light and "not right."
AP192837 333
gardeners who don't want to deal with delivery/pickup constraints because some commenters say water/handling issues and mixing requirements cause major problems, and others report delivery pricing/free-delivery not working as expected for them.
Mark42mc cruzingmax
seed starters who are trying to germinate expensive seeds because one commenter warns that using "known bad" soil for seed starting can lead to poor germination and stunted seedlings, which is especially costly with pricier seed.
willain
people who bought lots of bags expecting consistent results because one commenter says they bought 80 bags and it killed or severely stunted every plant they put into it.

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.
nohomers1 tcope user129087213 user129087213
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.
misel00 Skippysqueaz abhayss Mark42mc
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.
poorSAP DangerQuail FabulousNest1285 AdamD25
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.

The Miracle Gro is complete trash too, and literally full of trash. For bagged options I've had great luck with Kellog Organic

It's likely regional, I've used it for planting annuals and they've grown well the last 2-3 years.

Exactly. It depends on the regional partner. Ours is actually local about 15 miles away and the soil is so much better than the miracle grow which is 100% wood chips here.

"This is complete garbage; it's about 60% wood chips. Fortunately, I was able to find 'EarthGro Organic Humus and Manure' for $0.80/bag at Home Depot (SKU: 1003950270) a couple of months ago. It is by far the best soil I have ever had."

The other day, I was able to get 11 bags of this delivered to my door same-day for only $2.99 delivery fee. Must be Lowe's Rewards member (free to join)
Also, soil quality seemed fine.

I buy this stuff and never had it kill everything. You need to put amendments in it and compost. This stuff has very low nutrients right out of the bag.
