Verified Reviewer | Altoona, PennsylvaniaGrub worms in the organic raised box soil
We purchased 6 bags of Miracle Gro organic garden box mix for my new strawberry plants in early May. The plants struggled and didnt look good and the soil was always loose and airy.
I started digging around with my hands and discovered 100s of grub worms! What is your policy on reimbursing/replacing this much soil???
I dont want to lose my strawberry plants! I have a picture to share if needed.
Thank you.

Verified Reviewer | Snellville, GeorgiaIt has burned my Easter lillies. I bought 12 bags. My first bag opened up to mold and mushrooms. So disappointed and dissatisfied. It was so hard for me to p/u and carry and unpack at hm.and the gas
I bought twelve bags. Very disappointed.My first bag I opened up to mold and mushrooms.
I am a senior.
And it was so difficult to get 12 bags home and out of the car to be this disappointed with my first bag.I'm debating whether to get some help to take it all back now. I tried to pull out the Mushroom garbage and apply the other around my Easter lilies. It turned them yellow right away within the first few days. Miracle grow will no longer be my go to.
Didn't think I needed to keep a receipt. What a waste.

Verified Reviewer | Pompano Beach, FloridaInfested bags with grub!!!!
Scott’s sent my info to their insurance company. Today they told me it was t their fault!!!
And I told them to prove it. I may get legal help and sue for $10,000.
Totally disappointed in them. And I will never buy anything from Scott’s again
Scott’s now handed over to their insurance who called and needed more info. I’m waiting on her decision
I have spent weeks getting proof to these people. And I got it sent - never good enough.
I’ve had to redo everything 4 times!!!!Yesterday Anne called my husband about this!!! And that is way out of line. It’s getting to harassment now. See my picture of the grubs?
Which I sent them and many others? Well they are trying to tell me moles ruined my yard!!! And these are “soil experts?” Lol lol. Their products say satisfaction guarantee!!!!
But im finding g out that’s a lie. So to me - if a company can’t stand by their own vision statement - they have no ethics.
I wish I had a lawyer. I would sue for stress, pain and harassment!!They are making excuse after excuse.
Not including the price for my time.
I can not say which bags were infested. I did not notice until my yard came up like a rug!! U just pulled! And clumps came out.
Im devastated! I contacted miracle grow. Talked, emailed I sent videos and pictures. Sent receipts!!
Every answe came back - they needed more!! Instead of me just printing out Eder number with item - they want the whole receipt! One order was over 30 pages!! And this was for one purchased.
I call Brandon who was rude and didnt care about my yard or how devastated and sick I am because of all this. I have been buying soil for 7 months. Plus seed. Its all for nothing.
THIER soil with grubs ruined most of my yard!!!.
I have spent hours getting the info to them. I wanted to get it fixed by person I did not want to take legal action. But now I have lost over $3000!! Because of the grubs!!
And now this company is making it more difficult for me!!
They are taking time from my family. They have ruined my yard.
And all I asked was reimbursement for everything including my time. Which today I was not - they did care about that!!!
This has caused me so much stress.
I may need to take legal action
- Everything including customer service

Verified ReviewerYour premium all purpose compost with organic plant food
I am extremely disapointed with the above product. You claim it is all purpose: no, it isn't.
(a) It's no good for seeds.
The water goes straight through the compost, leaving the top of the seed boxes dry and caked, while the holders at the bottom are full of brown-coloured, smelly water.
(b) It's no good for transplanting on : exactly the same problem.
(c) I have now tried it for a small number of my tomato plants : again, dry top and basins at the bottom full of smelly brown water.
In addition, I have had lots and lots of spindly toadstools in the pots and seed trays; and hordes of small black flies. And the mix is full of smelly manure.
I had to buy seed compost and John Innes No. 3 separately from your product ; and I certainly won't buy it again. I had thought Miracle-gro was a reliable brand.
Nope. Sincerely, Dorothy Sotelo
- Hard to say

Gnats in cactus potting mix
There were gnats in a bag of potting soil I bought. I phoned the consumer line and after a very short wait, an operator came on and asked for details about the purchase.
She said they would send me a refund. Great customer service.
Miracle Gro Raised Bed Soil.
I have long used Miracle Gro products, but the Miracle Gro for Raised Beds has been a disaster. I am a reasonably experienced container gardener and have never had this many issues: all my young seedlings died, my peppers and herbs grew tall and spindly, my tomato plants only grew 12 inches.
Everything has turned a sickly green-yellow and my cucumbers and tomatoes have a bitter taste.
Weeds don't even grow in this stuff. I plan to trash all this soil and replace.
User's recommendation: Consider using a stand in ground soil or a different brand altogether.

Verified ReviewerMiracle-Gro EverGreen Fast Grass Lawn Seed
Good evening
About 3 weeks ago I purchase a pack of Miracle-Gro EverGreen Fast Grass Lawn Seed to infill some areas of my lawn. I followed all the instructions on the box but after 18 days there is no sign of germination even though the conditions have been ideal, so much for germination in 4 days!!
Is this the norm for this product or have I just got a duff batch?
Looking at reviews on Amazon it would appear that I'm not the only dissatisfied customer. Your views would be much appreciated.
Regards
Graham

We bought Miracle Gro from Canadian Tire here in Alberta, Canada. The Miracle Grow had tons of gnats in it.
My husband threw out packaging as we thought we could control them but no luck. We know Canadian Tire will not reimburse us. What can you do to help.

Verified ReviewerMiracle Grow (dry/granular) Feeder
This is only about 2 or 3 years old ! The last one lasted over 10 years.
With the trigger lock turn OFF when I release the trigger, water keep flowing out the end.
- Easy to use water soluble fertilizer
- Applicator is questionable
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Fertilizer is good, but the applicator is questionable
Waste of time and money
Try putting your product in a bottle that the pump works. First time impression is horrible when the product doesnt come out.
No clue how much to put on the plant but took a chance and it better not kill them.
Trying to get through on the website is ridiculous as they have a stupid wheel to spin and want all your information before you even gain access to the site. Very poor!
