if your looking at cheap bagged soils take a look at scotts hyponex. Had been reading that in recent years MG has been pretty bad loaded with sticks and bark and bits of plastic. I personally witenessed shreds of plastic in a friends bag last year. Found a few reviews about this new hyponex soil. I guess it was on the market before but complete junk, found alot of review reporting that but only a few reviews on the new stuff. The few I found said it was great stuff at a low price, so i went to walmart to check it out. tore a bag open to get a handful and check it out, and it was infact some pretty decent looking stuff will need some perlite, but really looks quite nice, could be worth taking a look at, 8.25/ 2 cu ft
