I've been using Miracle-Gro potting mix indoors, in deck plantings, and to supplement outdoor garden soil for years (probably decades) and fortunately placed my order before reading the reviews, or I would have had second thoughts. I used to have to buy multiple bags at my garden center just so that I could manage to lug them up 2 1/2 flights of stairs to my condo. However, this year I got smart and ordered from Amazon. First, the savings are amazing. Second, 2 cubic feet is a LOT of soil, at least twice the size of the bags I used to buy (much more than I had imagined). God bless the UPS guy for schlepping this "two-ton" bag all the way up the stairs! I saved a LOT of money by doing this, so I'm thrilled about the value. The soil itself was just as always: no bugs whatsoever, no visible larvae whatsoever, the barest amount of moisture in the soil so that it didn't have to be soaked before using. I did use the entire bag: first, upstairs for my indoor and deck plantings, and then in the outdoor garden that I help maintain. I'm so sorry that others apparently had a very different experience, but I am once again very happy with the Miracle-Gro and simply thrilled with the fact that my senior-citizen self no longer has to schlep it up here. UPDATE May 2018: last year, I paid $11.69 for a 2-cubic-feet bag. This year the price with free shipping has almost tripled to $33.22, plus I note that reviewers after I wrote mine in 2017 were still having bug problems--so I'm not going to take a chance this year.

Miracle Gro is not perfect but for the price it’s worth it
This bag is BIG which is definitely worth it for the price. I added a pic for comparison. I’m 5’10 and the bag is the length of my leg. I personally love Miracle Gro for my plants (inside and out). They do have fungus gnats which isn’t an issue for my outside plants and isn’t a deal breaker for my inside plants. If I need to use it for inside plants I’ll do one of two things: 1. I usually try to avoid putting soil immediately in my plants when I get a new bag. If I have to, I add cinnamon to the soil, and water them with diluted Neem Oil which takes care of the issue. 2. My usual route is to open the bag, pour the contents in a container and let it “bake” in the sun for a couple of days which effectively kills the fungus gnat issue. I understand this may be a lot of work for some people but, Miracle Gro is a relatively cheap brand of soil, so issues are to be expected. The work around really just depends on your patience and need. Hope this helps and I will definitely be purchasing again.
