Michigan Peat 5720 Garden Magic General Purpose Potting Soil Mix, 20 Pound Bag

A bag of dirt is a bag of dirt! I think the packaging could be better. If it had a ziplock for an opening it would easier to manage and close up when needed.

i’ve always had a hard time growing veggies at home and this soil is great for starting a garden! it’s not too dense but not too airy either it’s just the right combination of both! i imagine it would be hard to kill a plant using this soil.

I received the Michigan Peat potting soil mix to review and I was very hopeful it would be a great addition to my busy yard. Initially I was surprised that the bag was so heavy. It felt like a 40 pound bag even though it was just 20. The soil was very dense more like compost than traditional potting soil but without the organic benefits. I planted this geranium in the soil six weeks ago and it looks good but it has not really grown either. Overall I am not sure that I would recommend this soil. I have some large flower beds with lots of plants and many potted plants. I don't have a place that I would use this.

Great soil! My plants are thriving and better than ever. I re potted 3 of my vine plants and one tomato plant and they are doing better already. Big bag so you can get a bang for your buck!

This is very dark moist soil. I watered my plants after repotting and the soil has still held onto most of the moisture a few days later. Packaging was sturdy but lacking a zip closure.

This soil was fresh and uncontaminated with any bugs. I have used it only for indoor plants and has worked well at keeping my plants from getting water logged. The packaging could be better/more robust for the larger heavier sized bags.

This soil is literally garden magic! I could tell right away that this soil is super rich and fertile. I used it to fill a hole my dogs dug in the yard and the grass grew back beautifully!

So far I am quite impressed with the performance of Garden Magic General Purpose Potting Soil Mix. As an avid gardener I'm always on the lookout for high-quality potting soil that can nourish my plants effectively. This product did not disappoint.First and foremost I used this potting soil mix to plant a lettuce seed mix. Pleasantly the seeds germinated within just three days which is faster than I expected. The soil provided the perfect environment for the seeds to sprout and develop into healthy seedlings. The seedlings are now progressing well showing robust growth and vibrant green leaves indicating that they are receiving the nutrients they need.Additionally I repotted a fern using this mix which contains red sedge peat sand and perlite among other ingredients. The fern which was struggling in its previous potting soil has shown significant improvement since being repotted. The leaves are greener and there is new growth emerging suggesting that the plant is happier and healthier in its new environment.One thing I appreciate about this potting soil mix is its texture and composition. It has a light and airy texture allowing for good drainage while retaining enough moisture for the plants. Although the perlite does look like styrofoam that may be found in other potting soils perlite can help to improve drainage and aeration. Moreover the convenience of the 20 lbs bag size was perfect for my gardening needs and took care of several potting projects. The only downside is that the bag is not resealable and if any unused portion is not used quickly it can easily spill.

Michigan Peat’s Garden Magic Potting Soil Mix exceeded my expectations. The texture is perfect for promoting healthy root growth and it provides excellent drainage for my plants. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the overall health and vitality of my indoor and outdoor plants since using this mix. Plus the 20-pound bag offers great value for the quality you get. Highly recommended for any gardener looking for a reliable potting soil mix!

My mom used this for her garden since I'm living with her now. She loves it saying it was better than other brand she been using and keep asking me where I bought it and how much was it so she could buy more.

The packaging is very sturdy. The soil itself has a fresh and earthy smell. The color is nice and dark. Its very moist and good quality soil. Definitely worth the buy!

love this soil! It’s not smelly or bad quality. I planted some fruits and flowers with it! It’s very moist and great quality. I would totally recommend this and purchase again!

When it comes to gardening I am by NO means an expert. But I do have a number of plants that I have (mostly) been able to keep alive…and some of them even thrive! I haven’t been sold on any one single sort of soil I usually just get whatever is cheap. But after trying this soil out and getting it in bulk…I think I may have a new potting soil! I took this opportunity to repot a few plants and switch out their soil and they look so much better! Time will tell if there are any true benefits to using this soil…but seeing as it’s been crowned garden magic I am pretty hopeful! This soil is so rich and beautiful so much so that I would have loved to just lay in it! 😛 My only complaint really is the bag that it is packaged in. It is made of a pretty weak material when it arrived it actually had 2 very decently sized holes in it. This is the sort of product that I would prefer to order online and have delivered so being able to survive the shipping/delivery process would be a must.

This Garden Magic brand soil has been great for my house plants. It's versatile and able to be used in both tropical and non tropical plants. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and look forward to using this soil in future propagations!

Good for both indoor and outdoor plants. This soil is a hearty and thick soil. It is a deep dark and rich color. I would recommend it to anyone getting ready for spring planting.
