Miracle grow continues to please no matter where and when you use it. I am a happy user now for more than 8 years. Easy to use, very effective at recommended doses and works for all kinds of plants inside and out.

This review is from: Miracle-Gro 3001192 All Purpose Plant Food - 10 Pound (Lawn & Patio)

I just bought the same 10 pound box for 17.88 at the local Home Depot.

I've been using the granular Miracle Grow for 30 years or so. It works well. You can expect most plants to show improvement after about 10 days.

COMPARISON TO MIRACLE GROW LIQUID FERTILIER.
As others have noted regarding the soluble fertilizer feeder, it is erratic. If you don't empty the container and allow it to dry after every use, it can clog up internally and will cease to deliver fertilizer. The Liquid Miracle Grow system has exactly the same problems (in my experience, worse), and is the fertilizer is more expensive.

OTHER CONCERNS
Sometimes you get a bright blue stream and a few seconds later a colorless stream (presumably containing less fertilizer. After a few minutes of watering, the solution is considerably less blue---but it is probably just as rich in fertilizer as long as there is a tablespoon or so of undesolved fertilizer in the container. The blue pigment is more soluble, but is probably not an essential component of the fertilizer.

TIPS ON USE:
Fill about half (not more than half) the container with water. Pour in the dry fertilizer---much of it will dissolve instantly as it hits the water, making room for the rest of the bag. Add water as necessary to fill the container. Screw the sprayer onto the container. Shake (and turn upside down) to mix. The first several minutes will be very rich, so use it where you need the most fertilizer. Swirl the container occassionally as you water to encourage the undesolved fertilizer to dissolve.

When there gets to be only a teaspoon of undesolved fertilizer in the container, consider it "used up". You can continue to water, but don't assume that you are applying fertilizer. When you are nearly done, turn the container upside down. That will empty the container, including any undesolved fertilizer, so the fertilizer stream can be rich, so spray it where it is needed. Water with the container upside down for 30 seconds or so after the container is empty to rinse out the internal passageways. Ideally, you should take the sprayer off the hose, and open it so that the sprayer and container and dry out fully.

DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR DIFFERENT PROBLEMS
Despite all the shortcomings of Miracle-grow feeders, they remain the best solution for fertilizing home vegetable or flower gardens. Trees, hedges, and lawns are best feed inexpensive dry granular 10-10-10 fertilizer, well watered in. Orchids and delicate indoor flowers are best sprayed (with a pump-up or squeeze bottle sprayer) with a weak solution (1 teaspoon/gallon) of liquid Miracle Grow. New plants are best started with slow-release fertilizer pellets mixed in with the soil.
