Not suitable to raise a garden in a raised bed
The product is advertised as a raised bed and potting mix. However i was disappointed to find it was basically all wood chips (and not very broken down wood chips). I tried to grow my garden anyway but had very little success. I guess that's a growing season I can't get back. I will be seeking a refund.

The use of aged wood fines is more common in organic soil mixes than conventional synthetic soil mixes. It mimics the natural and organic activity that occurs on the forest floor. For nearly 100 years, we have used fully composted aged wood fines in our soil mixes for three reasons – Better soil structure with its slightly larger particle size helps air and water penetrate deeper into the soil, allowing for better root development and overall plant health – Excellent food source for beneficial soil microbes which help plants resist pests and disease – A more sustainable resource benefiting the environment. No doubt, it does look different than conventional synthetic peat-based soil mixes. Remember, organic soil mixes tend to have a lower NPK. We like to recommend adding an organic granular fertilizer at the time of planting to provide a slow release of nutrients since these get used up by the plant over time. Veggie plants for example, are heavy feeders and will not produce a very good crop without adding nutrients through the growing season. Doing so will ensure consistent plant growth and yield. Apply every 5-6 weeks during the growing season.

Stunted Strawberries, Cucumbers and Herbs
I bought over 12 bags of this soil to fill my new raised beds and grow bags. The cucumbers have NOT grown in over two months. They are the same size as they were when they were planted. Same with my strawberries and my dill. I do not recommend this soil. I had only saved three of the bags so I could only return three of them.

Don’t do it! Absolutely terrible—stunted plants
As many others have recently pointed out, this soil is the worst! I’ve been growing veggies and flowers for 35 years and I have never been so disappointed. We built a new 4x12 raised bed using 15 bags of this cr*p. My kale, planted in early spring, is still the same size. Same with lettuce, spinach, peppers, cukes, basil… the dill isn’t even growing! The only crop I had any success with in this soil was peas. Waste of money and time. $150! Not including all the seedlings that never grew.

AWFUL SOIL!
I bought this based on the beautiful label. I have been growing vegetables and plants for over 30 years and I’ve seen a lot of soils. The label says organic vegetable garden soil, but the soil piers to be nothing more than ground up wood. My plants all turned yellow within a week of up-potting into this. DO NOT BUY!!!

Trash- do not use
We spent $400 to put this into our bed and everything is turning yellow and brown and nothing is producing like every other recent review. This company needs to refund me my money because I have lost all my plants 🤬 and now have to dig up all this so my garden isn’t affected next year. We have mushrooms growing all over the place. Unbelievable

Do not recommend
Learn from my HUGE loss on 30 bags of this when I was in need of an Organic option.
Packs down, more wood mulch than anything. White, dusty looking substance (old rot?).
I have unwanted mushrooms growing everywhere!!! Will now have to research mushroom type to see if all plants are a loss for cross-contamination.
If herbs still safe, will have to spend additional money to see if I can amend my beds and save my plants.

The presence of mushrooms indicates watering should be reduced. Mushrooms thrive in damp organic material. They will not have any affect on plants growing in the the garden bed. Reduce watering until the top 1-2 inches are dry before watering again.

45 bags of poor Raised Bed Mix
I bought 45 bags to fill a u-shaped 2ft hi 84 sqft bed. After 2-3 weeks my wife noted the vegetable growth seemed stunted -- stems/leaves were yellow and worst failing plants had rotted roots. Added fertilizer with no significant effect. Upon examination the raised bed mix looked like mulch. I went to the HD website --surprised by high # of 1 ratings ~ 700. Read thru 100's of them noting the same general feedback as above. Will need to remove the soil from bed, refill it and plant for fall.

Disgusting black/red drainage. DO NOT BUY!
I bought this soil like a year ago and used it recently for some plants. Well, after every watering, it drained out a reddish-black, cola-like water that stained our concrete patio. If it were a person, I’d have thought it had rhabdomyolysis! I asked local gardening Facebook page about it, and several people said they’d never buy it again because it killed their plants. One person said it was infested with jumping worms. I returned to HD and got store credit. Do NOT buy!

I added the potting dirt to my raised garden and to my new potted flowers. They enjoyed the fresh dirt.

2nd year - still killed all of my plants
Last year my husband bought this for his containers and all of his plants dies while mine in different bagged soil thrived and produced all summer and well into fall. Not knowing this is the same soil I bought it this year for my new raised garden beds with seven raspberry bushes, several types of peppers, dill, tomatoes, nasturtium etc. ALLLLLLL it is dying or stunted :(
