Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics® All Purpose In-Ground Soil. I purchased this produc a few weeks ago. I put it in a newly built planter. It is listed as organic. I have found bits of metal and plastic in this soil. The metal looks like it could be transistors from a circuit board which leads me to believe that this soil could be contaminated with heavy metals. Every time it rains a bunch of this stuff comes up in the planter. I am sick since I will have to empty this planter and start over. I don't know if I will be able to find new plants at this point. I looked on line at miracle grows web site which has MANY reviews like mine. This stuff needs to be recalled. It is not organic like the label states. I have a picture of the bits if you would like to see it. This also looks like it has been on going for a while from the number of bad reviews on the miracle grow web site.

I had added water to expand what looked like a block of coco coir, which I had bought three days earlier at the Dollar Tree, in order to use in a seed starting mix for fruit, vegetable and root vegetable seedlings. As soon as the block came in contact with water, it exhibited an overwhelming smell of paint thinner/volatile organic compounds, and it was evident that a good portion of this medium were shredded wood fibers. I have a been gardening and raising seedlings since over 30 years, (and a Masters degree in Agriculture), and I have NEVER before witnessed such a toxic smell in any soil product or soilless planting medium. The offgassing was so pronounced that my children asked me from a floor above what that toxic smell was, and if they should open a window. Two hours later, the product was still giving off the volatile compounds and the whole room was filled with the smell. Two of my children complained of headaches. We have meanwhile transferred the bucket containing the wetted substrate to the outside. We are normally raising a part of our seedlings in one of our bedrooms, and another part in our living and dining room, but with such a persistent offgassing of VOCs, that does not appear safe nor possible. I am very concerned that planting edibles in this medium would lead to produce that is not safe to consume. The product I bought at the Dollar Tree in Orange, CT is called „Natural & Organic Expanding Soil Alternative 3Qts“, the block has a net weight of 5.8 oz, (about the third of a size of an average block of coco coir), and its ingredients are given as: „100% coconut and natural wood fibers“ (- no statement of ANY additives -). Yet, below that, it states „Patented Components“ (I wonder how coco coir or natural wood fibers could be patented;) and „Made in India“.
