Depending on the batch creation date and location, I find basically any nationwide soil brand to wildly vary in composition. It can contain more or less "sticks", which is "composted forest product" which is decomposed mulch. Some bags have mostly rich black soil. So because I have some time and don't have access to have yards of soil dumped because I live in a downtown of a major city, I'll buy soil like this when it goes on sale on multiple locations and even multiple pallets in the same store. They all can be different, it's just how it goes with commercial bagged soil at this scale and being able to sell it for two dollars. The bags that are a little too mulchy get sealed up and stacked in my backyard in the open. By next year things will have composted down further and turn more soil like.

Also weird little orange balls/seeds/eggs is a common complaint across the board for MG soil, it's just coated fertilizer.

My Home Depot has .75cu Miracle-Gro Garden Soil for $2 a bag. Not sure this is my area only or all locations. YMMV

When I sifted the first couple bags I got from ace hardware, I found a piece of glass, a two inch rock, many small stones, pieces of brick, plastic shreds, weird little orange spherical seeds, and so many sticks that I maybe got 40% soil to be generous, and tossed the rest to my compost pile. It is only worth buying if you're dead broke and can spend the time sifting the various garbage out.

I'm going to skip this year. NYC has been giving out compost soil late last year and doing it again this year.

Is that from sewage or something? 🤔

If it's anything like the major city I live in that's 100 miles from NYC, it's mostly compost from leaf litter and mulch from municipal lot cleanup (clearing overgrown city owned lots, park upkeep, etc.) and also herbivore manure pickup if the city has a zoo like most major cities would. It's a nice free resource for city dwellers.

NYC requires composting now. These are from food and yard waste.

Interesting. I'll have to check my local town.

Paid about $6 per 40 quart bag at Sam's recently...that's about 1.55 cu ft so this is a good price. The soil in the bag was nice and black...no issues

At least one other person on this forum gets it. They have to mass produce this stuff every year and have it packed up, palletized, and shipped to the store ready for sale in spring. They rush to get their hands on any compost pile, most of which isn't really ready. Every spring I open bags from the previous year and they are great. The bag says they add fertilizers to the product.

I have trash soil, almost all clay, rock, fly ash, etc., so I compost in my field with a large tractor. Branches, sticks, leaves, grass clippings take a long time to break down even tossing it around with the front end loader periodically.

That deal ended last month. Right now HD has the slickest price available today (~$0.30 lower than Lowe's SpringFest sale price).

Edit: also the Ace deal was 1 cu.ft. like above poster says. Doing the math, I think Lowe's has the better price per cu. ft. And it's available right now.
