Gray and white is the new Black at Scott's

5 years ago
Purchased 28 bags on line, store provided curbside pickup, when I started opening the bags to spread, they ALL were filled with mold and fungus. I called tractor supply, they said I needed to contact Scott's, called and emailed, no reply, the stuff looks like AWFUL! I had to purchase another manufacturer to cover the ugly white and gray, "Black Colorstay Mulch". . . No more Scott's products will be purchased for my lawn.

Fades quickly

6 months ago
We bought 24 bags late April and put them down shortly after. The color is already faded and the mulch looks much older than it should. Disappointed as this has been our go to mulch for almost 20 years but the last 3 years it has not held up like years past.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Earthgro by Scotts Red Mulch and appreciate your feedback. For best results place the mulch when rain is not expected for 24 hours and do not water the area during that time either. If it rained within 24 hours of placing the mulch the color loss is usually isolated to the top 1/2 inch. Turning over the top inch of mulch should help with this. For optimum color throughout the year, the label instructions recommend turning the top inch of mulch every 3-4 months. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

I bought 5 bags for new plants even though I read reviews of wood chunks and fast fading color. I purchased Earthgro in the past, and it was good. However, your product has changed drastically, and I am so disappointed in your product and company. This is a total rip-off, and you should be ashamed of fleecing your customers.

Bags and bags of trash!!! Yes there is some mulch too but way too much trash. Shreded plastic trash bags pieces, plastic soda bottle tops, hard plastic that is sharp, etc. I didn't want a bag with trash, I wanted a bag of mulch ONLY

Poor Product Quality

7 months ago
Have used this product for years and have been happy with the results. However, in 2024 and 2025 the quality seems to have slipped. There are lots of sticks... small pieces of wood and that are 3 to 6" in length and up to 1/2" in width. Not only does it not look good, it's impossible to rake to smooth or rake up leaves in the fall without picking up most of the bark. Last month I purchased 20 bags. I just spread half of them and have almost a 5 gallon bucket full of these sticks. I'm not impressed with their quality... some bags are MUCH worse than others. Not sure I'll buy this product anymore.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Earthgro by Scotts Red Mulch and appreciate your feedback. This is not the quality of product we intend to produce. Every effort is made to screen out debris, including sticks and improperly-sized pieces of wood. It is possible that the screens were damaged and not noticed, allowing some debris into the bagged product. Thousands of bags are used yearly, with comparatively few complaints of this type. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.
