Comments about Smarty Plants Potting Mix 55 qt.
I was pleased with the quality of the potting soil. The composition appeared to be of excellent quality without sticks or twigs which I have found in other brands.

While probably not as good as miracle grow it was substantially cheaper I don't regret buying it . At the same time if miracle had a good sale I would probably buy that
