Easy to use and early results are very promising
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in New Jersey our planting season begins in early May. This year I introduced the raised bed mix into my raised garden. ]I have have followed a similar planting pattern for years, and looked for results in comparison to prior years. The early growth of the vegatables has been impressive. I believe the organic mix gives a lighter feel to the soil, which, when combined with the natural fertilizing qualities of the mix, leands great promise to a bountiful crop. I am looking forward to July and August for truly enjoyable vegetables.

    Plastic everywhere
    I just opened up the bags I purchased and there's plastic in all of them. I sifted through the soil for hours pulling it out. I even found a piece of that blue mulch stuff they use on playground. I paid a lot of money for this soil and it's just disgusting. Do not buy this product.

      GREAT BAG OF DIRT!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There’s not really much to say about it it’s a super charge bag of dirt and it works wonders! I would recommend this dirt to anyone really. I used it on a mixed bed of flowers and vegetables that I kept indoors. The flowers almost got larger then the veggies! I will definitely use this again. I would like to know if it comes in smaller bags...

        Great Soil, rich in nutrients
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for the first time and the soil mix is perfect for raised beds. The mix is rich with nutrients and loaded with organic materials with no fillers. So far my tomato plants are loving this. I will never use anything else for my raised garden. Very pleased with this product and the performance.

            Great for raised eds
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I requested this product without fully thinking it through. I used it in my garden area, since I don't have a raised bed and unfortunately most of it was washed away by storm water. I am not able to give a full and thorough review

              Excellent Product!!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So pleased with Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics® Raised Bed Mix as it is very high quality soil. It also stays dark and new even after I put it in my Garden bed weeks earlier. I highly recommend this high quality Scott’s product.

                Outstanding Product!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Raised Bed Mix in my two large planters in the front of my house. The flowers are growing well and they seem happy. Easy to use and I like that it is an organic material. I used some leftover mix in a couple of bare lawn spots, added some grass seed, and in about 10 days the new grass is coming up. Very happy with the results!

                  Scotts Miracle-Gro Out Performs
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Created two raised beds with identical annuals and flowers. It seems the growth and especially the color and health of the plants, planted with Miracle-Gro out performed plants in other bed. Would recommend to friends and purchase again.

                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product in my newly built and planted raised beds. My new plants have taken root and are extremely healthy. My seed plants are sprouting quickly and seem to really be doing well. I would recommend this product 100%.

                      Good quality
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Much, much better quality than many of the other raised bed souls on the market. It is good quality soil, not poorly decomposed compost with sticks and wood chunks that you often see sold as bed soil. I used it for a bed of jalapeño and banana peppers. It is producing a great crop.

                        Great product
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Instruction are easy to understand. I do not have a raised bed, I adjusted for pots and my potted plants are thriving in their pots. I am looking forward to a great harvest. Side benefit is the product no offensive odor.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a first time user of the Raised Bed Mix. It was very easy to apply. I've seen a difference in using this mix instead of a normal dirt.After a long winter her in the northeast, my soil need a boost and the organic raised bed mix did the trick.I look forward to a great growing season.

                              PERFECT ORGANIC/NATURAL SOIL MIX
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The combination of aged compost and natural soil mix is perfect for my raised bed of tomato plants. I planted early with protection from the frost and they are developing well. The Raised bed mix seems to hold moisture well which my tomatoes need.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am finally able to get this product into my raised garden beds. The weather has been a little too cool until now. It makes it easy to plant my seedlings as the consistency is perfect for new growth.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very rich dark soil. I’m glad that it is organic because I keep my vegetables organic. I’ve planted some vegetable plants and they seem to be doing very well with this product. Very perky and growing well despite the current weather!

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although it is still just a tad early here in Michigan to be planting and flowers or vegetables this season due to the uncertainty of the weather, I can attest to the positive impact of the Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Raised Bed Mix. I have used this product successfully in the past with great results! In my mind, it is the best organics supplement on the market.

                                          I was sad when Home Depot stopped stocking Dr. Earth brand soil and usually I'm wary of Miracle Gro products, but this soil has honestly proven to be pretty amazing. Everything grows really well with it.

                                          Full of trash
                                          If I had purchased this locally and not ordered online it I would have returned it. My hope of having an organic garden was to provide clean and healthy foods for my family. I have pulled out countless pieces of plastic bags, hard plastics, wires and glass from this soil. When I thought of miracle gro I thought it was a name I could trust and believe in their products, but the amount of trash in their organic product is wildly disappointing and I doubt I will buy it again.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every spring I plant tomatoes and pepper plants in a raised bed. This season I added the Miracle Gro Raised Bed Mix to my soil and I can really tell a difference. The plants are more lush looking and seem to be growing at a faster rate than usual. I’ll have to wait a month or so for harvest, but the plants are looking very good thus far.

                                              I have to agree with comments I've seen on other soil products. There is a fair amount of inorganic material in the mix. Hard and piable plastics in all three bags that I received.
