Great soil
This soil is so easy to work with. It's loosely packed and doesn't have mold or bugs in it. My plants have been thriving since I switched to this soil a few months ago.

Easy-to-work-with potting mix that keeps plants evenly moist and healthy, indoors and out.
I used the Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix to repot my indoor palm and to top off a shrub in my backyard bed. Right out of the bag it had a nice, consistent, light and fluffy without big clumps or sticks, so it was easy to work in around the roots and pack down firmly. The moisture control really shows. The soil stays evenly damp longer without getting soggy, and so far there’s been no mold or musty smell on the surface, even indoors. My palm settled in well with no drooping or yellowing after the transplant, and the shrub outside looks healthy too. The 16 qt bag went a long way. I still have plenty left over for future projects, and it’s easy to fold over and store until next time. When it’s empty, the bag is light and simple to throw away. I’d definitely buy it again for both indoor and outdoor plants.

I used the miracle gro a few months ago and planted my rosemary and it is currently thriving. I love the fact that it didn’t require high management. I water my plants every other day or so. The quality of this soil is worth the value in my opinion.

Worked great.
I ended up using this mix to try with my starter seeds. It was very good.
The soil had no manuer smell. I added a bit of fertilizer and bam a week or so later my green beans sprouted and we're ready for transplanting. Once transplanted they took well until mites got a hold of them. Not due to the soil BTW.
This soil would work well for small potted plants to help keep them from being over watered.
I did not have any pest issues from the soil itself. And would recommend it for indoor gardeners.

Great way to perk up plants!
I repotted a house plant that was formerly looking a little sad into this Miracle Grow Potting Soil and it perked right up! It even sprouted a new leaf! Great product!

A must
I received this product from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This soil works really well especially for my indoor plants. The soil stays moist without feeling overly wet and my plants look healthy and thriving.
