Miracle Grow Never Disappoints!

Extraordinary! After just one application, I can already see my arborvitaes in particular, after a very long and tough winter, looking wonderful! So easy to use too. You worked hard to landscape, and this product will go a long way in enhancing your investment of time and money!

Growing your own food is better than printing your own money.

I ran out of the MG Timed release that I had and ordered this for the fall garden. This newer formulation is fantastic. I've used kelp but the kelp and bone meal seems to work very, very well. I just(Oct 9) removed 12 dozen blooms from 3 tomato plants. ...12 dozen on 3 plants that looked almost dead at the end of July(insect & blight damage). They had not put out even one new growing tip in two months. I applied this timed release in August and worked it into top few inches of soil. The plants came back to life. The three (Better Boy) plants have >4 dozen tomatoes growing on them. I used it for other plants such as squash, turnip, lettuce, spinach and edible gourd. Very good results with them too. I'll reserve judgment 'till after next year as to whether the cost is justifiable. In the meantime I'm ordering more for garlic planting this month and early spring '18 garden planting, ;). In comparison to previous product, this one (4.5lb size) has a spout and spreader that, at least for me, works much better to evenly distribute the grains over the target area. It's worth noting that this '5 star' rating is one of maybe 3 or so products' reviews that have received 5 stars from me in the last 15 years. It is not a perfect 5 mostly because they no longer include the plastic top/cup that was part of the previous formulation. In addition to providing an easy way to measure a quantity for a specific square area it also provided better seal so the product could not get damp as easily as this one. ...so save that seal cover and use it (or some plastic) for (winter) storage. It is also not a perfect five(5) because it cannot be OMRI registered organic product which of course means one cannot use it and legally sell "Organic" produce. ...but it is very close. ... EDIT: My cost was justifiable but I bought 3 when it was an Addon at 7-buck$ each. I don't think over 10-bucks + tax is reasonable ...many other products are good enough and cost much less. At higher price the tomatoes/vegetables become too expensive; might as well buy organic in a store or support local organic farmer via roadside stand.

Saved my roses!

Saved my dying mini roses! After an accidental over watering (oops) my three girls were nearly decimated. Almost all the leaves turned yellow and fell off. I honestly thought they were beyond hope but this fertilizer really helped bring them back. Lots of new leaf growth within just a few weeks. I imagine if you used it on some healthy roses you'd get some lovely blooms too.

They are filling out better than they had all summer

I gave my majesty palms some of this when I brought them inside for the winter. I always had problems with palms turning brown inside and I had to throw them out. They appreciated the food. They are filling out better than they had all summer. I'm afraid they are going to take over the living room!

2 weeks apart each use and it seems be fine.

I have very dense clay soil, I mixed in tons of bags of garden soil and manure and some of my vegetables were still struggling. I got this, sprinkled it all around and within days the plants that hadn't produced any blooms were blooming and are now producing fruit. The container says to only use every 3 months but I've used it a few times, 2 weeks apart each use and it seems be fine.

Works fast for flowering blooms!

One week after applying to new flowering plants, I have lots of blooms! I like how is lasts almost the whole season too..super easy!

WORKS!

LOVE THIS STUFF, what can I say. But pricey. That said, it works well so why complain. We had a bad winter in NC so this will help bring my bushes back to speed. Working already.

Great Palm Fertilizer

I have a horticulture degree but am from up north so was not familiar with palm care. A friend had a landscaper plant a new palm in front of his yard and the landscape company told him to put 3 1/2 pounds of this on his palm every 3 months. My palm continued to have yellowing palm leaves on the bottom that were working their way up the tree. I sprinkled the whole 4.5 container of this fertilizer on my palm and it seems to really like it. Palm leaves are staying greener. Time will tell if this is the answer for a healthy palm but I can tell you the initial results look really promising.

Absolutely loved it and already have some for this year

Used this last year on four types of tomatoes, two types of peppers, cucumbers and basil. Absolutely loved it and already have some for this year. I applied twice throughout the summer and couldn't be happier. A definite difference in my tomatoes compared to my neighbors tomatoes.

This is my go to fertilizer for my shrubs and small trees. This was a re-order for this Spring.
