Miracle-Gro Performance Organic, Fruit & Vegetable Compost - 40 Litre Bag

I bought a 40 Litre bag of Miracle-Gro Performance Organics All Purpose Enriched Compost to use when over seeding my lawn in an area that suffered some damage over the winter. I used the compost to top dress the lawn and lay my seed into some tracks made before rolling. It's safe to say that the grass seed planted in this compost has definitely come out looking like some of the strongest growth seen on the lawn this year compared to the rest of the grass I didn't top dress with this compost. The consistency of the compost was extremely fine, with only a few lumps that were very easy to break down with just my hands, it'd be ideal compost to use for potting some plants as well as top dressing a lawn like I used it for. There are plenty of use cases I can see this compost being useful for. When it comes to value for money, it is quite expensive compared to some other options out there, however this one came highly recommended to me so took the plunge with this and grateful I did after seeing the results. If you're looking for results and don't mind taking the plunge on paying a bit more than some others out there, this is a solid choice, if I'd had more time to trial some other compost options, I may have done, but it's safe to say this is a safe option to go with if you want good results.

good all round compost,would recommend

Good value for an organic product. Great for growing. Some lumps in it a bit larger than I like for new seedlings.

Excellent. After some failing growing last year during the lockdown this year I decided to try grow some new crops that i didn't grow last year. I've always fancied growing carrots and being a total novice at gardening the only successful things i grew last year were potatoes, a grapevine (bizarrely enough!) Tomatoes, and a few other "beginner level" veggies. So, i bought some autum king 2 carrot seeds and gowrie swede seeds this year. Items areived on time, niceley packaged and i googled the instructions on how to sow the seeds for an indoor kitchen garden as i have limited space. (Council flat) As you can see in the photos, the swedes have took off like a rocket, and I'd just about given up on me carrots but as you can see I've a minimum 40 growing. My partners work colleagues told me that carrots can be exceedingly difficult to grow but I've had absolutely no issue. I'd highly recommend even though they might say beginner luck, am thoroughly impressed I've got a difficult crop growing! I shall be back...

I bought this to replace the poor quality top soil beneath our cherry blossom tree, which previously had ugly decorative pebbles mixed in with it. We planted some wildflower seeds which should grow in the summer, I expect them to grow well as I’ve used this compost before in planters. In the meantime the soil alone makes the area look much better now! 😄 I got 2 bags of this which covered an area of 4ft x 4ft with a depth of about 2-3 Inches 👍🏻

I had to repot a few house plants. This soil felt very wet and a couple of my plants looked unhappy after and I realised mould was forming on top. I've put them in the sun without water for a few days and they look slightly better. I'm no gardening expert so this might be my mistake, however I would advice to give the soil a good feel before watering your plants after putting them in this soil

We have used it for our outdoor potted veggies but cannot see any big difference. Maybe it is just because of our UK weather this year. Almost end of July and we did not have much hot sunny days that would help the plants to grow. Three stars just because... I am not sure
