Any growing media that contains compost or forest products may contain composted peanut or tree nut by-products such as nuts, shells, hulls, etc. Animals can re-enter the area anytime after applying unless there is a peanut or tree nut allergen concern.

Dirt

Tractor supply asked me to review my dirt purchase so here it is. It’s dirt, it came in a red and black bag. It has a nice earthy scent. My lawn tells me it likes it. My dog likes to roll in it, that’s how I know it’s the good stuff! Never buy dirt without first reading the reviews!

Terrible product

10 years ago
Quality soil has a balanced blend of Sand, Organic matter and small gravel for drainage. This is mulch. I am a landscape contractor who deals with soil daily, and was recently given a job where my customer had a pallet of this garbage "premium soil" on site for re-seeding their lawn. I opened one bag and realized this "topsoil" is merely pine mulch in disguise, and warned the customer that the first rainstorm will wash all of the mulch away, as a good soil will just barely hold a ball when clenched. They had me do it anyway, citing that they already have it on site and it was a "great deal". So I did it. And low and behold the first rainstorm washed the "topsoil" away, leaving puddles of twigs and seed in their garden beds rather than being held in place by a soil with higher sand and small stone quantities. Save yourself the trouble of having to do the sae project twice, stay away from this "topsoil" mulch at all costs for seeding jobs.

We're sorry to hear you're not thrilled with Scotts® Premium Topsoil, and we appreciate you letting us know.

While small pieces of bark and twigs are intentional components of our growing media including potting soil, garden soil, lawn soil, top soil, etc., you should not find large pieces of wood or bark. For best results, mix 1 inch of Scotts® Premium Topsoil into the top inch of the existing soil. Mix thoroughly to avoid creating a distinct barrier layer between Scotts® Premium Topsoil and the native soil. This will allow grassroots to expand easily for more vigorous growth.

We want you to feel good about using our products. That's why we offer a product guarantee. If, for any reason, you're not happy with the results after using this product, you're entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. If you need anything else, please give us a shout at 888-270-3714. Scotts

Mushroom spores in soil

Response from Scotts Consumer Services:

We're sorry to hear you're not thrilled with Scotts Premium Topsoil and we appreciate you letting us know.

Fungal mold spores, including mushroom producing fungus, are a natural part of soils It just takes the right conditions for the spores to develop into a fungus or mold. Our growing media products are not sterilized and may contain microorganism including fungus. In fact, fungus mold has been scientifically proven to improve the growth of plants by releasing nutrients from the organic material that growing media are typically lacking. The fungus mold only becomes a problem if there is an overgrowth. Overgrowth occurs when the soil mulch is too wet. Scotts Premium Topsoil is for outdoor in-ground use. It is denser than a garden soil which can cause drainage issues. For use in raised beds, it should be mixed 50/50 with a potting mix.

We want you to feel good about using our products. That's why we offer a product guarantee. If, for any reason, you're not happy with the results after using this product, you're entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

We're sorry to hear you're not thrilled with Scotts Premium Topsoil, and we appreciate you letting us know.

While large pieces of bark should be filtered out during processing small pieces of bark are added to our media to improve drainage and prevent the soil from compacting. The addition of this coarser material to our potting mix allows oxygen to reach the roots and improves plant performance.

Wood, nothing but wood.

9 months ago
Wood. This is a bag of wood, whether it's bigger pieces, shredded, partially composted, etc....... This is not dirt in any way, shape or form. I expect there to be SOME wood in bags of topsoil, compost, potting mix, etc.......... If there was any dirt, I didn't see it and I sifted some of it before I knew I just couldn't use this product. Instead, I started a new pile of bagged products where I empty out the contents, add in a bit of nitrogen and after a couple years I can dig through it, after there's a good cubic yard of it and then I can use what I get out of that pile. I didn't want to have to do this, I had a large pile in the past, but I'm also not going to throw the product away since it will break down after years and then be decent compost. But that's not what this is marketed as.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Thank you for your feedback about our Scotts Premium Topsoil. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

The small pieces of bark and twigs in our products are intentional. They're part of the mix. Most of our soils, especially potting mixes and garden soils, are made from composted forest products, which are packed with organic content and nutrients. The coarser material allows air to reach the roots of your plants, which helps them thrive for years to come. We're all about making lawn care straightforward and helping you achieve your vision for your outdoor space.

If there is anything we can do to help you have a great experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714 for assistance. Scotts

Good for germinating grass seed

This is a mulch-like topsoil that does a good job of retaining moisture when growing new grass. The biggest downside to it is that some of the bags include a bit too many larger chunks of mulch and many of the bags include small amounts of bizarre pieces of garbage in them, ranging from small plastic items to torn pieces of plastic.

Misleading Packaging

please be advised, this is NOT topsoil. This is low-grade compost at best. It will not work for filling any volume, as the wood chips and peat moss will break down over time. Please just find a local landscape company that has proper topsoil, sand and compost. Make your own

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Premium Topsoil and appreciate your feedback.

Please note, formulas vary by region based on available materials. Some areas have more of a compost based formula while others have more of a bark and wood fines based mix. Both work equally well to amend native soils but look different.

Hi, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Premium Topsoil and appreciate your feedback.

It is normal to see small pieces of bark and twigs, they are intentional components of our soil, however you should not find large pieces of wood or bark.

The Only Thing Growing Is My Regret

a year ago
I bought four bags of Scott’s “Premium Topsoil” with dreams of enriching my garden beds and giving my plants the VIP treatment. Instead, I opened the bags and was greeted by a sad pile of ground-up wood that looked like it had been through a chipper and a midlife crisis. Not a speck of actual soil in sight — just mulch masquerading as topsoil like it was trying to sneak past security at a gardening convention. My plants stared at me in confusion. One tomato plant actually leaned away from it. I think it’s filing for emancipation. If you’re hoping for something dark, rich, and full of life — like actual dirt — keep moving. But if you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could pay for mulch, but in a misleading bag,” well, friend, your weirdly specific dream just came true. 10/10 for disappointment. Would recommend only to someone I secretly resent.
