Back to Miracle Gro!
I switched the soil in all my pots to Happy Frog brand last year. I was disappointed. It seemed heavy and dried out easier. I saw someone on line do an experiment with 14 different potting soils over a season with the same plant, sun, water etc.. Miracle Gro grew the best plants. It just confirmed my feelings. This year I’m going back to my tried and true. Miracle Gro!

Don't Buy Any Other Than This
I got this item from Scotts. What a great product to use with my plants! Doesn't clump like others when pouring out. You don't have to water as much. Great water retention. Plants look healthier and larger. I have had many people ask me where I buy my plants and I tell them it's the soil that makes the difference. I have bought this product after getting the first one as a sample. Will never buy another brand again!

Moisture Control
Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix enables you to keep plants thriving without over or under watering. My favorite feature was that it feeds my potted plants up to 6 months enabling them to potentially grow twice as big.

Excellent soil!
I decided to replant one of my pots with this potting mix and place it side by side with one that I didn’t change the soil. The plant with the miracle grow not only looks better, but has had more growth than the other plant. I will definitely repot more of my plants with this mix and I would highly recommend this product to my friends and family.

Miracle Gro is the best !!
Long time user of Miracle Gro products !!! The Moisture control potting mix is great for indoor pots.I tend to water by drenching, or even soaking a planter, infrequently and this mix stays moist for a long time.
