Product Safety
Get Your Hands Dirty (with gloves!): We always recommend wearing gardening gloves when you're potting, and it's a great habit to wash your hands when you're all done.

Pleasantly Surprised
I've been using several potting mixes from Miracle-Gro and I'm pleased to say that they're fine to use. I don't understand the general animosity towards the brand (i'm looking at your Redditors!). It works fine and my plants are thriving!

Full of nutrients potting mix
The Miracle Gro potting mix help my plans grow with moisture and right nutrients. I’m recently in gardening and I started with this potting mix. Have been growing sweet potatoes, cilantro, basil, spearmint, scallions, and canna lily plants this summer. Love growing herbs at home. 🪴 packaging is not sealable but you can twist the mouth after use to make it air tight. The soil also helps getting proper drainage for the plants. Keeps the weed away, which i love about this potting mix. Miracle Gro plant food also works great as a fertiliser which i’ve been using for a month! However, one thing I don’t like about the potting mix is the amount of wood in it and also it doesn’t have moss or cocoa pit in it to lock the moisture or water.

Great potting mix
This is my go to potting mix. I purchased from Lowe’s. It’s always reasonably priced and even better when there’s a sale. I like that it has a dry texture and it’s stiff, it makes for less mess when potting with children. It easy to store and lightweight to lift.
