Mark said he could sell me "fine, screened garden soil" and in his response he said he doesn't sell…read moreit. That means he lied to me on the phone. I had called to inquire about garden soil. Mark asked me if I wanted "fine garden soil, no clumps." To which I said, yes, please. Delivery was quick, but what I received was not what I ordered. I received clay, with some large clumps approx 6-8 inches. It also has little rocks in it. I have video and pictures, but I don't know how to include them in this review. I gave Mark the benefit of the doubt, by calling and questioning the delivery. I was hoping, the wrong order was delivered by mistake. He said, there was no mistake, it "might have a little bit of clay." But no, what I received is straight up clay. I can pick it up and squish it and it doesn't crumble, it stays in the squished form, you know, like clay does. I cannot grow a garden in clay. Which is why I ordered the "fine garden soil, no clumps" from him to begin with. He then responds with "well, that's the best quality soil you'll get around here." I'm disgusted with deception. He sold me "fine garden soil, no clumps." What he had delivered was clay. I would have been better off digging up the grass and saving my $392.20. What is also disturbing is that he is a magistrate, but won't back his businesses product and had a blase' (I don't care, it's your problem, I got my money), attitude about it. I will take my business elsewhere. If he had been honest from the first phone call, my inquiry call, I wouldn't have bought from him. Did he already know this and so he misled me? I can only speculate, but now when I hear the business name and his name Mark Ranshaw, the synonyms that will cross my mind will be dishonest, corrupt, shameful, untrustworthy, etc.
