Miracle-Gro 7021806 25 lbs Organic All Purpose Raised Bed Soil

This soil provides a good foundation for vegetables but you will not get “miraculous” results unless you add nitrogen. I got good production after adding bat guano (10-3-1). You should also add a source of calcium as I had problems with blossom end rot.

I was very excited to buy this product to start my new vertical garden as well as my raised container bed planters. To have the soil premixed and being 100% organic were things I was looking for in my soil. As I was filling my planters I noticed a few pieces of plastic and other trash like items and initially thought it was going to be a rarity. I used four bags of the soil and continued to find so many pieces of plastic, tape, pieces of what appears to be pieces plant identifier tags and even a broken piece of Christmas light in the soil. I saved a few of the pieces from my final bag to take a photo to post with this review so others can be aware. My plants have been in the soil for about three weeks and there seems to be some other plant life which I did not put into the soil that's germinating but my plants seem to alright in the soil but it worries me that so much plastic was found in my soil and makes me wonder what else may be in this soil with my vegetables. As much as I like the idea of the raised bed soil I think I may have to go back to my other organic potting mixing the future.
