I have had an issue with organic soil coming with insects. It seems only one person had this problem with this brand?

I bought this and their regular potting soil and both had bugs but they didn't show up right away. My poor plants are infested. I would never buy this soil again.

I've had that problem with every other soil I've purchased, so far I've bought ~10 bags of this and never had insects.

Try a 3-in-one organic pesticide, miticide and fungicide. It works well for me.

I have a Garden Gourmet compost which looks exactly like this one. I don't if Garden Gourmet still exists but I've had it for 20 yrs (I have two). I live is southern Calif. Our city wanted people to compost so they had a special from a local nursery and I got two. Time has finally taken a toll on one of them so I am looking to replace it with this model. This past summer, a portion of the lower wall cracked so the door doesn't stay closed. The other compost has had no issues up this point, even after 20 yrs. There hasn't been any UV issues.

I had no problem with bugs and my cilantro was one of th first to sprout and grow. I purchased my Aerogarden in February/March time of year.

No problem in the least. Sounds like you may have fungus gnats. Fairly harmless but annoying. They may have been in your soil.

I personally haven't had a problem with bugs in Swheat Scoop. I have had them in some alfalfa reptile bedding, though. So what I do now, with any organic product like this, is open the bag outdoors, well away from any entrance to the house. If there are any bugs, they should be pretty obvious

no recent problems! I had a problem with weevils about 2 years ago, in 2 boxes I had stocked up on and left unopened weeks or even months (bought in unknown grocery store because I had purchased in different stores). NO PROBLEMS SINCE THEN WITH CONTINUED USE.

I would contact the company and ask them that question. I am a consumer just like you and I have not experienced this problem. So sorry I cannot be of more help to you! Warmly, Andrea

I've never experienced bugs in my popcorn kernels. I've been turning to this brand for about a year now. I have a very very sensitive stomach so if there was something was something I didn't see I would have had some sort of reaction, but I never have. I don't know if maybe there are some "bad" bags? I never got one though. If you find this problem with your bags I'd report it.

This issue has been raised by competing brands, but I've not seen the concern raised else where. I took a chance and have seen no ill effects, but have no further information. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Not an issue for me in Michigan. But has worked on all insects in a very damp basement & outdoors. No residue so I use it on main living as well. The best results so far after 5 yrs of use! No ordor, dries quickly. Do not try Bayer it's horrible!

None. This brand is really bad. I had mosquitoes land on it. Go with the name brand in the orange box. Those are amazing.

In the great N.W., we don't have a 'bag-worm' problem, however, the pamphlet that comes with the product will answer your question. The name of this product was given me by a 'pest-control' person, who uses it on just about everything. Our problems here are quite heavy and I found that it is the answer to just about any and all infestations here. If this helps, good. Our biggest problem here are carpenter ants. NOT ANY MORE.

Yes. I broke my batch up into 1/3's even though it indicates to put them all in one spot, put 1/3 in the garden box, 1/3 in the right hand non raised bed and 1/3 in the left hand non raised bed and this year I have a huge colony in each bed and they are all a lot richer now than last year. (last year 2 of 3 were mud. Between 80 pounds of used coffee grounds and the worms they are black dirt now. I just poured the coffee grounds on top of each of the clay beds during the winter and the worms worked them into the soil.)
