Beware!
This bag was infested with gnats, and therefore infested my entire apartment. Had to throw it out as soon as I realized what was happening.

    Gnat infestation!!
    I was excited to receive my dirt but that excitement soon was over due to the bag being infested with fungus gnats. I'm very disappointed with this purchase!!

    Ground up glass in this garbage!
    Full of sticks, bark and ground up glass! There is also small pieces of obsidian in there! Planted my cat grass in large litter pans to make shelves of cat grass my kitten could lay on in the window, grass 4 in tall and started catnip yesterday when I spilled on floor and cut my foot!! Will not let kitten lay on this! Garbage! Also in ‘Specifications' it says assembled weight it says 16 pounds so I thought I was buying the large bag...it is 9 pounds!

    Price was twice as High as Competitor ?
    Everything was fine about this product except for the price. I paid twice as much for it as I could have on Amazon. I had bought several over the past weeks and boy I should have looked around first. I took pride in the fact I thought I couldn't get a better buy than on Amazon ;-(

    do yourself and your family a favor
    started growing lettuce seeds and whear grass, mostly to keep fresh greens in a daily diet. kind of fun really. this is a high quality, clean and usable medium that produces great tasting lettuce and sweetwheat grass juixe. not sophisticated enough to comparison shop, my experience with organic soils is pretty dated, but there is so much to gain and learn, worth the effort. cost effective, you get about as much net soil using the plant material makes it a growing concern. if you have some one who can learn from this, great way to teach nutrition. nothing tastes better than fresh organic lettuce. there are new slow juicers that are about $100, they don't heat the juice and it preserves rhe nutrients and tastes great. living out of a can is ok, but live plants are so much better and cheaper. this is real nutrition, not a vitamin pill that will damage your digestive system.

    Wonderful product.
    When I opened the first bag I was thrilled that it was "soil" and not like other potting soil that I have previously purchased that were filled with bark and "who knows what". It has a pleasant, sweet "earthy" smell. It was easy to work with and it has been over a week since I planted my little balcony garden. All my plants seem to be thriving wonderfully so far. Black Gold Organic Potting Soil will be my first choice every time.

    Once more
    It's a good thing Walmart has such a great price and delivery time on this soil because I seem to order a lot of it. The problem is that I am at best a so-so gardener and don't do well with growing plants. A friend recommended this potting soil for some herbs that I am planning on growing. She said it will even make up for my lack of horticultural talent. That remains to be seen, but I have at least planted the herbs with the hope that they will actually grow!

    High quality
    This is a very nice soil. The quality is great. I do think it was pricey for the ammount you get. I must say it being organic made me feel good about starting my veggies in containers with it and realize most organics are a bit more in cost and usually well worth it as this is.

    Comments on soil
    The soil is very good although overly expensive. The one thing that bothered me was the packaging. Every order I get from Walmart - unless it is shipped by an associate vendor - is packaged so badly that I wonder if a young kid is learning how to tape a box. The tape on the box is always extremely sloppy and loose. It's hard to believe anyone with any experience in packin could tape boxes so badly. And this is not just occasionally, it is always. I order a lot online from Walmart and the boxes just barely make it here due to the excessively poor taping of the box.

    Black Gold is a Very Rich Soil
    Compared to Miracle Gro potting soil, Black Gold is better. It is very rich and retains alot of moisture. It has a really smooth texture similar to the texture of worm castings and this is good for plants to develop a strong root system. Black Gold also has fertilizer in it.
