Customer Reviews for Miracle-Gro Moisture Control 1.5 cu. ft. Garden Soil for Vegetables and Herbs

I bought 70 bags of Garden Soil to fill newly built raised beds. After letting the soil settle, I returned to start planting in them. I found two of the raised beds full of weed seeds. The other beds had a handful of weeds, which I can accept. But the numerous weeds I found in the two beds I was not happy picking.

Way too much wood, it looks more like mulch than soil and I found this bright green rubber thing in one of the bags.

Good soil, no issues. Miracle Grow soil is always top notch. I've used a lot of this is my garden beds, and my plants produce well. This is heavier than potting soil!

I purchased Miracle Grow vegetable soil and planted only 2 tomato plants. One has black and yellow spots on the leaves. Through my research I found out that the plant is lacking nutrients. Why is this if Miracle Grow is for vegetable plants?

Our garden is thriving and its all thanks to your product

I have used this soil in my raised garden bed for the past two years, and I will continue to use it. The plant growth is prolific, and I get absolutely beautiful produce every year. The results are always consistent! Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the past, I have found garden soils mixed with too much woody material. This was a great loose soil, pre boosted with compost. I have used it in our Jack The Pumpkin science experiment. I'll be adding the rest to my vegetable garden to replace what has been lost over the summer, to prep for autumn/winter "crops"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Here where I live, in Texas, we luckily have two planting seasons; the usual late spring, after frost/summer season, and also the fallish season. We normally only freeze here in late January or February, if at all, living near the Gulf of Mexico. We take advantage of that extra second planting  season time. Although we have a compost pile, we usually use most of it on the first planting season. Even though I continue to add and grow our compost, it does take time to get it ready to use. I've learned that if we wish to do our second garden planting, we need ready made, rich compost-like soil to have good results. I'm very impressed with the Miracle Grow Garden Soil for Vegetables and Herbs. Some fall seasons bring rain to us, but this year, like a lot in the past, we are having many beautiful sunny mild weather days, and not so much rain. So the fact that this soil holds moisture is a huge help. The thing I love the most, is the dark, rich, compost-like density that this product holds. I can continue to nurture my own compost pile for the spring garden, yet use this to have a healthy fall harvest. My plants and herbs seem to really like this soil, and are doing well, so we plan to continue using it in years to come. With grocery prices soaring, we all can use gardening to not only save money, but feel good about food that we grow ourselves. I'm thinking about adding a bag or two, of this soil to my compost pile in the spring and actually making a much bigger home garden next year So far, the plants are growing well and happy, and with a little bit of water and nutrients. I am confident that we will have a great fall/early winter harvest once again this year. I highly recommend this soil as being dark, rich, and plant happy. Although it's best for our outdoor garden, I also plant fresh herbs and some easy to grow indoor veggies, like green onions and some herbs, and I'm using this nice rich soil to do so, and they are also doing well. I do recommend this rich garden soil for all of your garden plant needs! It's good stuff!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Garden Soil has provide great nourishment and nutrient to my plants. A week after I use it to replenish the soil around my fruit plants they bloomed and gave back something awesome. This soil sure gave the boost that I was looking for and what my plants needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My back yard has terrible clay dirt. I’ve been very unlucky at growing vegetables and herbs in the clay dirt. I am very optimistic to use the Miracle-Gro Garden Soil for Vegetables and Herbs. Miracle-Gro is a very popular brand. I’ve put this Miracle-Gro Garden Soil in pots and am growing basil, lavender, mint, parsley, and rosemary indoors. The Miracle-Gro Garden Soil for Vegetables and Herbs is enriched with a blend of compost, plant food, and other essential nutrients. The Miracle-Gro Garden Soil for Vegetables and Herbs bag advertises that it will feed plants for up to 3 months. Furthermore, this soil has moisture control which means it protects against over and under watering. I believe this soil will increase my herb harvest during the months of November and December as it becomes cold outside. I will continue to use this product in the future and definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried so many other garden soils , but this one is by far the best I've ever used. It has moisture control , which protects against over watering. It's a light , but enriched soil, I used it about a week and my vegetables and herb plants have flourished. Every gardener needs to have a few bags of these around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soil is a gardener’s best friend. My veggies are thriving. They were struggling there for a bit, but this soil really helped them grow. Ot doesn’t require too much water and remains so moist. My plants are so thankful for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The garden soil is well made with rich soil complements and other materials. Not like the other soil products, it doesn’t come with mulch-like wooden materials or large piles of peat. The soil feels soft and looks black. Recommend if you are planning to plant in ground plants or want to improve your local in ground garden native soil.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Garden soil for winter herbs and vegetables, gives quick new life to replants and seedlings. I use for winter climate in zone 10A and get a full crop of herbs, lettuce and tomatoes from late October to early March.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect For Potted Gardens, I use the MiracleGro soil all of my herbs and vegetables year around. I find it works best if I refresh the soil in the pots once a year incase any fungus has grown while growing tomatoes or peppers, which can sometimes happen. Herbs tend to do well without much attention. I don't put this down on the ground for my vegetables because of the bugs in N. Fla.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The soil is dark and rich ! My veggies and herbs are growing so fast! My ladies in my garden club are super jealous and are excited to add Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Vegetables and Herbs to their gardens!

I always use miracle grow for my gardening projects , giving me beautiful flowers and plants. My vegetables are great, animals appear to pull them off for a late night snack. Looking forward to my tomatoes coming in , nothing better than home grown tomatoes . More than meets my expectations!! Love the moisture control products.

My bag of soil had a bunch of mushrooms growing in it. I pulled as many out as I could, but apparently I missed some because they have continued to grow amidst all the vegetables I used this with.

I have purchased 28 bags of the herb and vegetable soil. I’m very disappointed. First of all, there is a lot of plastic, glass and other garbage in the soil that I had to fish out. I wouldn’t expect that soil in this price range would have so much garbage and debris in it. The biggest disappointment I have is the amount of grass and weeds that are growing in it. I have filled a 25” tall 4’x4’ raised garden bed with ONLY this soil and am extremely upset with the amount of weeds and grass growing in my garden. It’s like a carpet of green in amongst my plants. I have always used Miracle Grow brand for years (multiple products) and felt that you were a reputable company. I have to say that for the amount of money that we spent, I’m not sure I will continue to purchase this brand.

Let the results speak for themselves. I purchased 12 1.5 cu ft bags to use in my raised vegetable beds. Along with bags of Miracle Gro Potting Soil. Wow what a difference this stuff makes. It holds the moisture longer than other products that I used last year. All of my vegetable plants are growing at such a fast rate that its hard to believe. I am sold on the Miracle Gro Garden and Potting Soils

It contained a lot of wood chips and stones. I wasted a lot of time removing wood chips and stones before planting the vegetables！

I put it in my raised bed herb garden. The plants are really starting to grow.

I've purchased Miracle Gro Garden Soil for Vegetables & Herbs for many years and have had great success. I buy at least 6-7large bags every year for my 23+ pots of herbs, veggies and flowers. Unfortunately, for the past two years my house has been besieged by gnats.This year, I repotted ALL my plants using your product. My house is full of gnats again! I wish you could come and have the lovely experience of having gnats everywhere, flying in your mouth and nose, flying around any meal you're trying to make or eat! It's driving me crazy! Please clean up your product and get rid of those gnats. Yes, I've filled all my containers with over 1.5 inches of sand to try to rid my house of the gnats. They persist! I am so frustrated as I use my herbs all through the winter months (growing inside during Wisconsin winters). Now, I have to toss ALL my herbs out and I am really upset. You not only cost me the price of your product and all the herbs that I've grown for years, but you cost me the flavor of all the herbs I use in my cooking. You can do much better than this! AND, if I didn't experience gnats all the previous years I've used your product, WHAT do you do to your product to create such a hellish experience of a gnat-infested house?!

I bought several bags in July and started my fall planting in late September, planted radishes, carrots, lettuce, beets, arugula in a raised bed. Then I noticed the weeds, I removed them. Everything looked good, even the zinnias. The only thing is I did not plant the zinnias and I never had zinnias in that area of the garden. There were 34 little zinnia plants in my vegetable bed. There are still other weeds showing up. I planted a second vegetable bed and bought three more bags. There were also more weeds showing up. I am not satisfied with this product.

I’ve had a small vegetable garden for over 30 years, and I replaced about 6 inches of soil with MG garden soil for vegetables & herbs this spring. I’ve gotten the biggest yield ever!! My neighbors are envious.

I was using this soil in conjunction with a raised bed soil. as I was dumping it out into my mixing bucket outcome a whole bunch of grubs. I will never buy this again. At least my kids think they are cool.

expensive for basic compost... paying for the name i guess

Was using vegetable and herb soil for my kids to make starter plants, and we found a rusty ni-cad battery in the soil. Ended up scrapping our little project. I wouldn't plant weeds in this garbage.

My garden vegetables are growing so well. I think the garden soil helped tremendously.

Used this soil for a raised herb garden. Within a week, my herbs were growing like weeds. This soil is amazing! Highly recommend.
