Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to replace soil in raised beds every year?
Yes, raised beds should have their soil replenished annually. Soil in raised beds settles over time and needs to be releveled. Also, adding fresh soil helps prevent compaction and adds fresh nutrients for your plants. If your existing soil looks pretty good, you may only need to add a couple of inches of fresh soil. The spring planting season is a great time time to refresh your raised beds!
Is mold in my soil bag OK?
Don't worry if you find mold in your bag of Miracle-Gro® Raised Bed Soil. Mold spores are naturally present in soils rich in organic matter. These spores thrive under moist conditions inside bags, helping decompose organic material and enrich soil. Mold and fungus are natural components in healthy soil, and can contribute to a thriving garden.
Is there a difference between garden soil and raised bed soil?
Yes! Garden Soil is denser to help plants thrive in the ground. Raised Bed soils need to be lighter. You can use a 50:50 blend of garden soil and potting mix for your raised bed, or skip the mixing with Miracle-Gro® Raised Bed Soil.

Yellow and dying plants from the raised bed soil
I should have looked at the reviews before buying!! Hopefully you don’t make the same mistake. I have been gardening for over 30 years. I have more experience than most and have experienced lots of things over the years. With getting older I built raised beds to make it easier on my back. I typically grow mostly tomatoes and peppers and can my produce later use. The problem with raised beds and a small number of crop options is you can’t properly rotate your crops so you have to amend your soil more than normal. I usually buy a bulk soil but this year I decided to try miracle grow raised bed soil from Costco in a couple of my beds. The only difference in those beds versus my other beds is the miracle grow soil. About a week after transplanting my tomatoes and peppers began to yellow and look sick with no new growth . My other plants not in that soil and planted at the same time are green and show signs of new growth. This past weekend I dug up my garden and replanted in another soil. I have lots of money tied up into my garden and i hope it can recover. Do yourself a favor and read the reviews and don’t make the mistakes we made.

Great soil that COMES WITH GNATS FREE OF CHARGE!!!
Great soil as far as how plants like it but every time I buy some I get infested with Fungus Gnats. Last year (4-2024) I had to toss out all my plants because I could not get rid of them. Then I waited until 3/2025 to buy more plants one at a time to make sure none had gnats. And then after 5 new plants and no gnats I made the BIG mistake of buying MG again. I figured maybe it was an infestation at their plant. Well, within a week I started seeing them again! ARHGGG! And they were not the same type as last time this was a new type (and entomologist told me there are many varieties even two species. Well this time NEVER am I going to trust MG again.

Horrible!
Such stench and too wet. Killed my tomato plants in two days. Will never buy Miracle Gro again. Can’t believe how absolutely disgusting this soil is. Taking my unopened bags back to Lowe’s.

Terrible!
Got a bag of this at my local ACE store. Out of 1.5 CF I screened out about 3 gallons of usable soil. The rest was unusable. Sticks, roots, pieces of wood. Terrible. I'm not going to make a 30 mile round trip to ask for a refund-BUT I'll never buy another Miracle- Go product again.

So very disappointing
I have never been so disappointed! I have 2 raised beds, one I filled with regular garden soil. Plants are doing great. The other has you more expensive soil. I can’t get anything started around the hundreds of mushrooms sprouting! I wish I could add a photo. Ridiculous!

Stay away junk in soil
I bought above ground potting soil and found, metal, plastic, and glass debris in it. I spoke to a neighbor who had the same problem a couple years ago.

Do not purchase this product if you want veggies
I bought this product from Lowes last spring for my raised garden bed in Missouri. This was one of the worst products that I've ever used from Miracle Gro. 90% of the seeds and plants I put in this soil either never sprouted or produced any fruit or vegetables. Miracle Gro should be ashamed for even selling this product to people. I spent hundreds of dollars on buying this soil and purchasing plants and seeds and it was a huge disappointment. If you enjoy gardening and eating the fruits and vegetables from your garden, do not purchase this product.

Not organic
Was totally disappointed, bag states 100% organic. Not sure where plastic, glass and cigar butts, fall into the organic world.
