Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix, 8-Quart

Perfect texture for starting seeds and African violets

I'm a first time gardener and this soil has helped my herbs grow beautifully. Makes me look like a pro! I started my herbs from seeds and they are doing well! Like I said I'm a first timer but at this price point and with the success I have had I will be purchasing it again.

I purchased the Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting mix because it was recommended along with the seeds I was purchasing. The Miracle-Gro soil helped the Miniclover seeds take hold and sprout up nicely where my AC drip pipe is located.

Great mix! Even my seeds packed for a few years ago use sprouted - which I did not expect - so I had to "thin them out". After awhile - just planted one per pot or two (have now two plants in those). Only problem - gnats seem to love this too. So - I had to give it four of five stars as I had gnats in my. home - it makes me have to clean my garbage disposal, get rid of any vegetables sitting in my fresh fruit and vegetable counter arrangement and take out all my recycling and garbage more frequently than when there are no gnats. I pretty much hate gnats - so I am going to grow everything on my patio in double insulated pots next year.

I was surprised when I first tried this, but it is great. The small bag does not take up much room but makes up alot of potting soil very easily. The consistency is great for plants. I have already bought 2 more bags to have on hand.

This is potting mix. It works as it should. I honestly cant tell a difference between this and any other mix I have used. Things grow in it. It holds water pretty well. My plants seem healthy and happy. But I used this soil and a different kind at the same time and honestly cant tell a difference between the plants.

This stuff is great for starting seeds. It’s soft enough for delicate sprouts and roots to push through easily. I’ve tried other brands and my seeds don’t do as well. I wish it came in a larger package

Amazing success rates using the MG Seed Starting mix. Boil water, empty mix into container, add water, stir, cover until cool. Then add a handful of worm castings. 98% germination rate even on 3 year old seeds. Will continue to use.
