Is Earthgrow potting soil good?

[garden5]

I saw some Earthgrow potting soil for like $3 at the store and I'm wondering how good it is. It supposedly has only some organic materials in it, but I want to be sure.

I don't care if it doesn't have any nutrients or ferts, I just don't want any chemicals.

So, any input?

It's a Scotts Miracle-Gro Company product. Earthgro, no W.

I've tried this stuff and it is absolutely horrible.

It feels like a mixture of sand and clay. When you try to water plants, the soil turns into muck and deprives roots of oxygen. When it dries, it is hard and like concrete.

Yikes! OK, so it looks like cheap may not be the best way to go this time.

Even the [url=https://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod100070&itemId=cat60014]reviews[/url] of it give it 2 out of 5 stars after some 50 reviews.

Also, the mere fact that it's in the miracle grow family is a little unsettling as well.

OK, so leads to the question, what's a good, cheap, organic potting soil? I'm only going to use it for 2.5 months to start seedlings so I'm not picky...just don't want any chems.

Thanks for any advice .
