quality assurance
bought some of this product last year and found pieces of plastic, glass, and other random pieces within the compost. I tried it again this year along with Natures Care soil but more of the same, I have to sift before I put it into my garden beds because there is just so much plastic and glass which makes me question how much junk is going into these compost piles

    Terrible Product that is Just Trash, Literally
    Having been soured by most soil amendments from Scott's/Miracle Grow, I had stayed away from the brand for the most part of the last 5 years. I saw this and thought that I would give it a try. My mistake, like most of their product (at least in California), this is a horrible mix of plastic, metal, glass, treated wood and other various trash with some added soil amendments and fertilizer. Yes, it smells like chemically treated sewage sludge (or the residue you would remove from the rain gutters). Unfortunately since Scott's took over the brand, it has been the most vial trash presented as a more green option, OK if spreading someone else's trash on your soil is green! I would not even recommend this to people I don't like let alone anyone with a conscious. DO NOT BUY IN CALIFORNIA!

    Cali, Sorry to hear that you found Metal and Plastic Debris in your Nature's Care Really Good Compost. We use screens to eliminate debris like this from our Soil and mulches. However, A hole may have opened in the screen allowing debris to get through and this may have gone unnoticed before the product was bagged. Small please of bark is an intentional part of our mulches but you should not be seeing any large chunks. The odor you smell is caused by decay caused by naturally occurring fungus in the soil. once the soil has been spread the smell should dissipate with exposure to air and rain. This Product is backed by a money-back guarantee, please call us at 1-877-220-3089 for further assistance. miracle-gro

      The worst compost I have ever use hangers. They put full size wood chips they are clearly not broken down in. It’s more like the mulch than anything else. Do not waste your money. Big regrets For buying this product

      David, Sorry to hear that you found large wood chips in your Miracle-Gro Natures Care Really Good Compost. small pieces of bark are an intentional part of all of our soil and mulches but you shouldn't be finding large pieces. we use screens to prevent large pieces of wood and debris from entering the soil however holes can open in these screens for larger pieces though. this product is backed by a money back guarantee. Please call 1-877-220-3089 for further assistance. miracle-gro

      The compost is primarily woody material. (I got splinters using it.) It doesn't seem to be a good blend of organic matter.

      I garden and typically buy several bags of different amendments. I figured I would mix in a few bags of this "really good compost" to check it out. Honestly....I expected if I paid 3 times more than typical it should indeed be really good....not really....there were quite a few sticks etc. My guess would be the process was rushed a bit...Im not saying its bad - Im sure it will do what its supposed to....Im just saying it does not appear to be better than the $3-$4 bags. If it was called "average" or "not so bad almost composted compost" I would probably have given 3 or 4 starts. But when you say "really good" in the title...well....there is an expectation. In my situation that expectation was not met.

      Hard as a rock i couldnt even break it apart by using my hands. Foul smelling like a tijuana restroom and had pieces of plastic in it. This is NOT what compost should be. I will never buy this again.

      This is not the quality we expect from our Miracle-Gro Natures care Really good Compost. Mulches can harden when they have been exposed to moisture especially when left to sit in a warm humid environment. We screen our Mulches and soils for debris from our product but sometimes holes can our screens and some debris may have gotten through before the issue was noticed. soils can sometimes have an unpleasant odor that is called naturally occurring decay and fungus. this odor is harmless and will usually dissipate with exposure to air and water. Please contact our Consumer Services team at 1-877-220-3089 so that we can help troubleshoot and fill you in on our guarantee. miracle-gro
