Miracle Gro in ground garden soil is being treated as a basic bulk option for beds and landscaping, but the main draw is only the low sticker price. The bag size is 0.75 cubic feet, which makes the unit price higher than it first appears, and the listing has also been called misleading because the image and checkout pricing do not always match. Quality concerns include shrinkflation from the older 1 cubic foot bags, plastic and other garbage in some bags, and reports that it can be too nitrogen heavy for plants or pots. A workable but not standout soil if you are watching both volume and quality.
Buying in-ground flower beds or shrubs where you're okay with the 0.75 cubic feet bag size because commenters say the main issue is people missing the 0.75 vs 1 cubic feet difference and only focusing on the $2 sale price.
People who need a quick in-store option and are comfortable with price matching because one commenter said it's basically the same deal since Lowe's can price match Home Depot.
Gardeners who are sensitive to fertilizer type and prefer compost because commenters claimed synthetic fertilizer "kills plants" / has too much nitrogen and that compost is better (and free).
People who want to avoid low-quality fill because multiple commenters said they regretted buying it due to "garbage" in the bags and even reported finding plastic in the bag.
Buyers who care about getting the best value per cubic foot because commenters calculated that 0.75 cu ft at the shown price works out to a higher $/cu ft than alternatives like 1 cu ft bags on sale elsewhere.
Home gardeners trying to fill flower beds or shrubs with enough volume because commenters warned that 0.75 cubic feet is too little after spreading it out.
Anyone planning to use it in containers or pots because a commenter specifically advised not to use this in pot since it's a soil mix and not a great deal for that use.
The advertised price can show as $2 in one place and $2.29 in the image or local listing. Some shoppers also report the deal logic changing with quantity, so it is worth checking the final cart price before buying.
Several alternatives are priced better per cubic foot, including Walmart generic soil at $2.50 delivered and Menards 1 cu ft bags at $2.71 after rebate. Home Depot also had the same Miracle-Gro product for $2.00 per bag recently, making this Lowe's price less compelling.
Yes. The bag is 0.75 cubic feet, and the smaller size is easy to miss if you only notice the $2 sale price. At $2.29, that works out to about $3.05 per cubic foot.
Lowes printed/online advertisement last week was misleading. On the front page, it showed buy 3, get three free...but no price. On the second page, it showed the dirt as 2.29 each. So going into the store to buy 12, the cashier rang me up for all 12. When I informed her about the ad, she said the price was correct and since the dirt was on sale for half price, it was buy three, get three free...she apparently had been approached by other buyers. I said that was misleading and she agreed.

I think technically, it's buy one get one at $4.38 a bag, but they are actually priced at $2.29 a bag so that you don't have to get multiples of two to get the sale price.But it is VERY misleading!
Do not use this in pot, it's in soil mix. Not great deal.
As long as you make drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, like you're supposed to, it's fine. Maybe even add a little bit of perlite. Been using garden soil in pots for years now.

No. It is a soil mix meant for in-ground use, and it should not be used in pots. For containers, a different potting mix is the better choice.
