        A:  Yes it really is and it is great to start growing some roses this way. Just remember that your roses need room for their roots to grow if you want them to be healthy and to bloom, so when you see they are getting bigger make sure to transplant them .

          A:  Hi there! thank you for asking! I have done some reasearch and many people have grown roses just fine with this!

            Q:How many bags will I need for a 4' x 8' x 6" (4 feet x 8 feet x 6 inch) planter box?
            by|Apr 6, 2023
            2 Answers
            Answer This Question

            A:  The amount used will be based on not only the size of the pot/planter but also the size of the plant's rootball, and how full the pot is filled. When filling the pot, fill approximately 1/3 full (more or less depending on the size of the rootball), then fill around the rootball to the base of the plant. Actual coverage will vary depending on the size of the rootball.

            by|Oct 28, 2023

              A:  You will need 4-5 bags. Especially the depth of the planters box.

                What are these?
                I love this product but noticed these small round balls , like eggs / lava in the latest bag I bought . What are these ? Will they hatch and eat my plants?
                by
                Response from Customer CareNov 11, 2023
                Thanks for your feedback. The small yellow, green or clear fluid-filled beads you see in potting mix are not insect eggs. It is plant food called 'Osmocote'. These fertilizer prills absorb moisture and allow the liquid fertilizer inside to pass out of the prill into the soil. "Osmocote" is sold separately in the garden center, but will not contain the central fluid until mixed with a moist potting media. Most of our potting mixes also contain perlite that looks like tiny white puffy balls. Perlite helps improve the drainage of the soil.

                    I never buy miracle gro. They sell soil that is full of bugs and fungus. There are black flies in each pot that I used. Our house is now full of these annpying flies. What an aweful company!

                      Top soil in potting mix bags?
                      I just recently (August 2023) bought two bags of the big yellow bag potting mix 2 CF. It was nothing like the original version. It was more like a top soil, sandy, and heavy that I couldn't use it for my hanging baskets. Was this a mistake and I should return these bags?

                        Helped grow strong plants
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this moisture control soil when I split up a monstera plant that I keep outside on the pool deck. This has done great in Florida where it’s extremely hot and also periods of storms and rain. My plants have done much better than last time when I transplanted in regular garden soil. I will continue to use this.

                          Ferns Love It
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m happy with this potting soil and my hanging baskets (particularly the ferns) seem to love it. They put out lots of new fronds, and I am pleased that the moisture control formula seems to help keep the ferns evenly moist even it I under-water or over-water.

                            All around great potting soil!
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This potting soil helps protect against over and under watering! I use it for my indoor plants as well as my outdoor garden pots. It's convenient because it fertilizes the plants for up to 6 months. It is a nice light and airy mix so it is super easy to dig in. My plants are doing wonderful in it and growing well.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This MiracleGro Moisture Control potting soil is so far a good potting soil that has good mositure control.

                                Great Product
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically use regular Miracle-Gro potting mixes and have always been happy with the results. However, the Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix caught my eye and I decided to give it a try. I don't have to worry about over/underwatering my plants as much and the results have been great. Although, I wont switch to this product exclusively, its definitely a welcome addition to my tool kit!

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always, Miracle Grow is awesome. The plants loved it. Every time that I use this product, I receive great yelds. It especially help when the Florida temperatures have been so much hotter than normal.
