Rated 1 out of 5 by from Premium Garden Soil! HA! I bought 3 bags of this soil and upon opening the first bag it was full of twigs and plastic pieces. The 2nd bag was were the real gems were! Full of small mushrooms!! This is NOT a Premium soil. I have not opened the 3rd bag yet. When I do I will take pictures of the debris and or mushrooms. The black earth I bought from another location last year was by far superior for alot less. It's funny I had to edit this post because I actually named the other store where I purchased the item. Yet another strike against Home Depot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really nice soil This really is a lovely soil! It's very fluffy and lightweight, no gritty stuff. If you aren't trying to build up a huge area, and just looking for a top up of "good" soil, this is it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disgusting!! I purchased several bags of this because it was well priced (then I found out why). At first glance it seemed very nice - but once the soil dried out a bit I was able to see that it was filled with small pieces of plastic, what appeared to be shreds of plastic bag, and even a semi-composted cigarette butt. I was horrified that I had planted my vegetable garden in this mess! How will undo this?? I will never purchase this type of soil again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great addition to poor soil. What a difference adding good soil makes to a garden! We have a small plot in a shared garden at a lake. We have not had much success with good crops due to the poor, sandy soil. I put 20 bags of this soil in and the crop was fantastic! The other gardeners were asking what we did and I showed them one of the unopened bags. A few of them went and bought some to add to their plots. There were no issues with rogue weeds popping up, which has happened in the past with economy soil. No doubt that this process will have to be repeated in about 5 years due to the sandy soil but it is well worth it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Literally Has Garbage in it. DON'T BUY. I bought this a week ago for a vegetable garden as it says "all purpose" garden soil. After opening it and dumping it all into the garden and mixing it, there is bits of plastic and other TRASH, LITERAL GARBAGE IN THESE BAGS. I believed Scott's was a reputable Brand, but reading other reviews herein it's clear they don't care at all. Lost my business for sure across all product lines.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Many bags contain great soil some are a mess I bought several bags of this throughout the season. Truth to be told the first ones worked wonders on my newly planted Rhodos and other shrubs but the last ones contained a lot of non-composted wood, shredded plastic, nylon and other kinds of debris. One of them was mostly composed of something creamy, beige and disgusting that seems to be chunks of partially decomposed paper. It is usually a great product but some bags have serious quality issues

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not soil We bought 5 bags of this 'soil', and it was 5 bags too many. The majority of it looks like partially composted wood chips. Very, very little soil in it. We would not purchase it again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Negative Features of Scotts Premium Garden Soil I purchased twelve and wish I'd only purchased one. Far too many small pieces of wood and yes, bits of plastic too...Much time is spent trying to remove the pieces of wood when it is used for top dressing the lawn. When it dries out invariably more wood to pick out.

What is this made up of? Does it have compost and peat moss in it?

Asked by: Jack
I am not sure of the exact composition as I no longer have the bags but I can tell you my observations. The soil is nice, dark soil, slightly moist with little or no debris in it. I put about 30 bags into our plot in a community garden and the results were obvious. Our harvest was earlier and more productive than the others. Also, there were no invasive seeds in the bags. (I have bought other bags of soil and ended up contaminating our soil). The Scotts is a great choice and we now add a few bags every year. I did not observe any peat but there might be some in it. I cannot say for sure.

best soil to add to clay soil for flowers and shrubs

Looking to add top soil or soil additive to heavy clay soil for planting flower
Asked by: Anonymous
Clay soil holds water well, but is slow to absorb and release it. When watering plants growing on clay avoid applying the water faster than the soil can absorb it. Run the sprinklers until the water starts to run off, then turn off the sprinklers until the water soaks in. Repeat the watering until the full amount has been applied. The best way to improve clay soils is with the addition of organic material. Core aeration and top dressing will help to loosen compact soil. I suggest using high quality organic materials such as peat moss, well-rotted compost or Scotts Premium Topsoil. After aerating, apply a top dressing and rake the material into the holes using the backside of a leaf rake. If planting a new garden, place up to 4 inches of organic material such as peat moss, well-rotted compost, Scotts Premium Topsoil, over soil and till in to a depth of 6-8 inches. In some areas, gypsum can be used to improve clay soils. Gypsum is helpful in loosening compacted clay soils that are high in salt content, especially in arid/dry regions. These soil types are found primarily in the western U.S. Gypsum may also help flush salt in these soil types while adding sulfur and calcium. In other regions, gypsum is generally not a helpful soil amendment, as most soils are not high in salt content. For more information on using gypsum to improve clay soils in your area I recommend contacting a reputable nursery in your area.

Hi there, I just purchased 5 bags of this product and it smells intensely of manure. Can you please tell me what type of manure is in it and how much? I cannot be around manure as it is unsafe for my health.

Asked by: dlkt
dlkt, odor is caused by decomposing natural material and is non-toxic. We believe the manure smell is simply due to the wood in our growing medias beginning to breakdown or rot inside the enclosed bag. Once the soil has been spread the odor should subside.

Can this be used for overseeding a lawn? Is it weed free?

Asked by: Anonymous
This product can be used for overseeding, but we would suggest using Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Soil for seeding products. Our soil products are composted to kill of most weed seeds, but they are not sterilized.

what soil is best for filling in holes in our lawn caused by uor dog.

Asked by: Anonymous
You can use Scotts Premium Garden Soil to fill in holes if it is mixed in a 50/50 ratio with the native soil. To just fill in holes a top soil is the best option.
