A Garden Sensation!
MiracleGro is awesome and certainly stands up to its name especially with transplanting and growing my favorite plants. The "Moisture Control" potting mix has been a hit producing delicious container vegetables way better than store bought according to family and friends. I've enjoyed an abundance of Big Bertha Bell, Green Bell, and Banana peppers. Now even the Jalapeño and Tabasco plants are loaded with peppers. From my harvest I've preserved tomatoes, paste, sauce and salsa plus banana pepper rings that are absolutely delicious. The fresh herbs continue to grow well adding great flavor to my favorite recipes. Also, my flowers are vibrant and very colorful too! I don't hesitate to make the 40 mile-round trip to buy a few 2 cubic feet bags at a great price. I've probably purchased 10 or more bags this season and when my greenhouse is built I will be buying more! Thank you for a superb product!

Horrible results
I purchased 2 bags of Miracle grow moisture control potting soil on May 9, 2021. I buy this yearly for my plants on my porch, but this year, my plants hardly grew, seeming to not have any nutrients. I even used miracle grow fertilizer, mixing as the box suggested, and no changes. Finally, I added some 10-10-10 fertilizer to each pot and within days, a couple of days, the plants began to change, grow and blossom more.
I am very disappointed with the results of the potting soil, and will add, when I opened the bags, they seemed to have a bunch of trash(sticks, bark etc).
I asked my daughter, and she said her plants didn't flourish as usual, using Miracle grow products.
What happened to the quality products we usually buy?

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/13/2021Fungus Gnats Galore!I started raising “Spider” plants about 2 years ago and would mix Miracle Grow with a less expensive potting soil. It wasn't long before I learned about “Fungus Gnats!” and believed the cause was from the other soil. I eventually eliminated the gnats, but it took months…They were everywhere even in my food if I didn't cover it. I finally replaced my soil with only Miracle Grow, but the nightmare started again about 3 months ago! I thought maybe a few gnats survived and began to lay eggs again, so I had to start the elimination process again! Today I brought in a small pot of Miracle Grow to plant a new “spiderette” and was going to place it in a bedroom, away from the many infested plants I have again! I was preparing the soil to plant the “baby,”when I noticed what appeared to be a “fungus gnat” egg! Surprise! All along the “gnat” problem was coming from the Miracle Grow! Not from the same bag, as I had to buy several to replace the soil in ALL of the infested plants! This has gone on for well over a year now and I think I will end up tossing the 20-25 infested plants I have now! The photo with the pie pan shows what I took out of the pot I was going to use today. (a very small pot) The sticky traps show what I had going on for many months!Pache

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/01/2021Nearly killed my lemon treeI bought a large bag of the Potting Mix and used it to repot a small lemon tree. The tre was thriving with large thick leaves. It even started to produce flower buds throughout the plant. After I repotted using MG leaves started dropping. My pollinated flowers stopped growing a fell off. It was not over watered or lacked sunlight. Eventually the plant dropped all leaves and flowers. Stem tips started to dry out. Finally in desperation, I removed all of the MG soil, water spraying if from the roots and replacing it with true soil from my garden. The roots looked healthy. Hopefully I will be able to save the lemon tree. I'll never buy MG soils again.Lemon tree 2022

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/28/2021Not what it use to be!I have been using Moisture Control Miracle Grow Potting soil for years. My potted flowers have always been stunning. This year I am on my second round of plants in many containers, they are dying as well; I've only given one photo example. I could give you 20. Plants and soil are ridiculously expensive this year. After being a satisfied customer for years, I will look for another product. What did you do to your Moisture Control soil this year? Use inferior product? Someone had a great idea in product management to throw something else in? You've really mucked up a good product Miracle Grow. Very disappointed.Unknown

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/25/2021Killing my,plantsI have used several bags for my pots and planters and this soil retains so much water it is killing my wave petunias. It hasn't rained in a week nor have I watered and it's soaking wet. Petunias turning yellow and dying, I repotted thinking it was root bound to no avail New soil did it again. Every rail planters I have is creating this mushy wet soil that does not dry out. Weather is 85+ and humid and will not dry. Even has a green tinge on topFlowerpower

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/17/2021Beautiful rich feeling soilI used Miracle Gro Performance Container soil this year. The feel of it in your hands is amazing! There are some clumps but they easily break apart. As expected there is also pieces of wood mulch in it as well. I did notice what I would call a slight smell like manure. Not over powering and why not, it's a natural fertilizer! Transplanted all my starters into their new homes using it as well. My squashes and broccoli doubled in size in four days! My early tomatoes are already producing! This particular blend is a little pricey, but so far this season, it seems to be well worth it! The store accidentally gave me a couple bags of the in ground blend on my last trip instead, but I'm going to use it when I plant my starter potatoes this weekend.Sennful

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser04/26/2021Fertilizer burn and GNATSI've been sending daily pics of my plant to the grower and they insist it's fertilizer burn even though I have not admitted to them I used Miracle Grow because I didn't want them to pass the buck blame it on that. Clearly they are right. I'm also irritated that MGro has not responded to emails asking for advice about its use. Side note...reading the Gnat comments sounded all too familiar. We can't sit out in the early evening because they are everywhere and yes, they swarm from the MGro bag. I believe in you get what you pay for and that's why I bought "the best". Ha! Generic store brand as soon as I return the massive MGro bags I haveDisappointed
