Miracle Gro is by far the most recognized name in potting soil and plant care. It now carries an organic line and the Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix is an excellent choice for gardeners who just want to plant and be done with it. Miracle Gro's claim "twice the growth of ordinary potting soil" is true to a large extent. Miracle Gro's potting mix includes both quick- and slow-release fertilizers. This benefits plants as they immediately get a good start, and then continue to grow. You can make the case that if the gardener properly fertilizes plants you will have the same result, but Miracle Gro eliminates this element of human error. The ingredient list of Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix is similar to Fafard and has sphagnum peat moss, composted bark fines, and natural fertilizers. The organic nature of the potting soil will broaden the appeal of Miracle Gro to individuals concerned about pesticides and chemicals, but who still like the ease of using Miracle Gro products. A 14 pound bag costs approximately $5.99 and is widely available.

The Fafard Organic Container Mix and Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix target the same audience but are really suited to different gardeners. The Miracle Gro potting mix serves the occasional weekend gardener the best because if he or she forgets it is time to fertilize it is not that big of a deal as flowers, plants and vegetables still get many nutrients from the potting mix. The Fafard mix is ideal for the passionate gardener who likes to try things, readjust plants, and is scrupulous about watering and fertilizing duties. It also appears more authentic to hard-core gardeners who are passionate about organics and their plants. Both mixes will grow beautiful plants, but the Fafard mix will take more effort while the Miracle Gro mix - even though it is organic - carries the "chemical" stigma. I like the Fafard mix for my vegetable boxes that I tend to more often anyway, and use the Miracle Gro for flowers that I can just plant and water.

Dont waste time with MG. Its cheap crap with way too much time release nutrients.

Its meant for no hassle gardening with flowers, not Marijuana, which requires a lot of work and a lot of trial and error.

DO NOT USE THAT! I used that and it killed all my plants, too many nutes! Once I got them in a different soil they took off, I highly suggest not using that...
