yup gnats - lots of them....:
I bought this potting mix a few months ago and about a month ago I started seeing the gnats, which have been increasing daily. My plants are indoors so I was wondering where they came from. Yesterday I opened up the potting soil bag to repot a plant and found the inside of the bag crawling with the bugs. Maybe it was just a bad batch but I would suggest trying a different brand of potting mix to be sure.

Gnats??:
I have used this brand potting mix now for 3 seasons and had no problems at all. It is the only potting mix I use now and I've seen no signs of any form of bug. I do get it in the bigger bags but I'm not sure that would make a difference.

Still has Gnats:
Like the other reviewers, I too have had bad luck with this brand of potting soil. I had purchased several bags and repotted a lot of my house plants with it, and all those that I did started having gnat problems within a week. Its been very frustrating, they get everywhere but seem to leave my plants that I didn't repot with this particular potting soil alone.

Miracle Grow? How about Exodus' Plague of the Gnats!:
Gnats, yes. As well as large hunks of non-composted bark (the size of a fist), filler bark, debris (plastic shreds), and one bale contained a three-inch nail! Pro Mix is by far the most respected by dedicated container vegetable gardeners and heirloom gardeners, but our big box stores no longer stock it in large bales. I am searching for new sources for high quality, USA or Canadian (plain - no additives) Sphagnum Peat Moss, Perlite, and Vermiculite potting soil mixes to which I may amend as I elect. Looks like I may have to mix my own. Drat!

Gnatts:
Don't the sellers read these reviews and say something to the manufacturer. It is a terrible that Amazon can sell this product to the public.
