This product killed all my plants.Let me first start off by saying I am an expert gardener. I have always used miracle grow potting soil, but my local Dollar General had this product so I decided to try it. I noticed when I first opened the bag, But it had a very strong smell of manure, but I thought that maybe how your product is made so I tried it. I used about 3/4 of the bag to transplant my seedlings. I noticed the very next day that they all started looking sick. Two days later, and they are all dead. This has cost me over $50 retail value plus the cost of the soil not to mention two hours of my life. I would never buy this product ever again or anything with Scotts’ name on it.

0/50Purchased this from superstore, am very disappointed. This potting soil is hydrophobic and is impossible to use. How about adding a wetting agent. Will never use your product again!

Is it topsoil or mulch???Extremely disappointing. This product is more mulch than topsoil. It has more mulch than dirt and very light in color. Does not look at all like the pictures.

Prayer plant in need of prayer!I brought the soil about a month ago from Ollies because I needed to repot a beautiful house plant that had out grown its pot. when I opened it there was a lot of sticks and it looked more like mulch than the soil I am used to seeing. I repotted and the plant is dying. I am getting ready to take it out and try again. I brought the biggest bag, because I also wanted to do a second plant…glad I didn’t do the second oneI should have done more research.

Extremely DisappointedI have been an avid gardener for over 40 years, and I can honestly say this potting mix was the worst I have ever used. It was absolutely full of large sticks that were like blackened popsicle sticks and clumps of uncomposted debris. I had to throw at least 1/4 of it away. It looked like what I rake off my muddy lawn and throw onto the back of the garden. The mix should have been pulverized at the very least.
Many of the seeds we planted either rotted or the roots disintegrated before completely developing. The soil had a putrid odor.

Fungus GnatsI bought this to repot a bunch of my houseplants, however, when I opened the bag, it was infested with fungus gnats. Now I have an entire bag of unusable potting soil and plants that still need repotting. This was my first time purchasing Scott’s potting soil and likely will be my last.

The product looked good.I bought this product a week ago but did not open it. We read the reviews and there were so many bad comments that we were afraid to open the bag. We opened the bag yesterday and were pleased with what we saw. The soil looks good and there were no bugs, plastic, or other debris. My wife repotted several pots and they all look good after she did. We are happy with the results so far. I only gave it four stars because there is always room for improvement.
