Comments (4)Although Miracle Gro soils don't rate all that high on my scorecard of bagged soils and certainly an expensive option at best, the 'Garden Soil' is perfectly reasonable to use to fill raised beds. Miracle Gro potting soil has label warning against using for inground planting purposes and I wouldn't recommend the garden soil for container use but perfectly adequate for your raised beds. In the future you may want to consider just bring in compost or other organic matter to lighten your clay soil and create planting beds. Not the fastest process but far more beneficial to the soil than the MG products and significantly less expensive....See MoreMiracle Grow Organic Garden Soil
Comments (5)Buying organic soil seems counter-intuitive to me. I can't imagine many people here who take the time to make their own compost and so on buying the stuff. Have you read the thread about Miracle Grow suing a small company that sells organic compost tea? I wouldn't buy their products ever. You could ask in the Organic forum.

Comments (5)Yes, Miracle Grow Potting Soil is safe. I use it all the time and love it. It is not organic. I also use the Miracle Grow bags that are used to amend your garden beds. This is intended to be tilled in with your soil to "loosen" it up. It is not to be used by itself. I do not like the Miracle Grow with the water retaining crystals. It holds too much water in my climate when it rains. I think it would only be useful in a desert climate for plants that had a need for a lot of water....See Moremantis__oh
