Works fine for me. I get the same AP version of ProMix at Home Depot and Walmart. Works great in my Rain Gutter system, self watering buckets, totes, ect...

The quality isn't as good as HP or BX ProMix, hence the 50% reduction in price. For example, I commonly find twigs, sticks and a few rocks, but who cares. Also, as others have noted there isn't as much Perlite in it. I have a huge 4 cu ft. bag of perlite; I add a few cups to each SWC.
