Disappointed in Menards Master Garden brand soil
About a month ago I purchased Master Garden™ Organic Premium Raised Bed Mix and New Plant Life Mushroom Compost from Menards. In early June used it to fill some large pots for tomato and pepper seedlings.
The quality of the soil is not good. I found plastic mixed in. It doesn't have good drainage and it drys out quickly.
About a week ago I noticed a few of my tomato plants leafs looked strange. I posted pictures in another sub and was told it looks like herbicide drift.
I noticed that the only tomato plants (three of my seven) that were effected were in pots with the Menards soil. The issue could be to do with herbicide drift, compacted roots, and/or inconsistent soil moisture.
I do not recommend that anyone buys this soil. It is only sold at Menards and there is no way to rate or review product on their website. If stores are going to sell exclusive products there should be a way to provide feedback.
