Miracle Gro singles, a great,easy no mess way to feed my plants!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have used Miracle Gro plant food for years, but when I found Miracle Gro singles, I was impressed. An easy, no mess way to feed my plants. They are already measured packets that you just add to the water in your watering can. Its the same Miracle Gro, we have all used, just easier to use. 1 packet for 1 gallon of water, its that easy. Contains nutrients that start to feed instanly, to give you  beautiful flowers and vegetables. Its safe for all plants, indoor and outdoor. The bag contains 24 pre measured packets. I would not think of useing any other plant food, I have had great results from Miracle Gro.

I'm a gardener - I love love love plants, and the more the better. But you know what's even better than "MORE" - BIGGER!!!!

It's not a scam, this stuff works!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Sometimes things look great on advertisements, but then don't work at all when you use it yourself.  This is NOT one of those things.  Miracle Grow works!  I use it every single year when I plant my flower gardens.  I also use it for indoor plants, and even for my tomatoes outside.  I wouldn't even think of trying to plant my gardens without it.

The plant food, the potting soil, every single Miracle Grow product works just like they say it does.  Your plants are healthier, and they grow larger than they would otherwise. If you've ever noticed, Lowe's sells plants that are already pre-grown in Miracle Grow.  They're more expensive to buy that way, and that's because they've already got that jump start from the Miracle Grow!  Just compare them to the other plants around them.

This is one plant food that you can trust

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

When I started container gardening, I really didn't see to many tomatoes on my plants and when I started to use Miracle-Gro, my tomato plants grew taller then me and produced many beautiful, large tomatoes. Big bushy plants with hearty stems and turning into monster plants. I have a hard time keeping them in line. I ended up buying the largest tomato ring I could find and then they would grow way past that...I would end up tieing the plants to a large bush next to it. I also get so many tomatoes I have to look up recipes and have more in my salads just to try and keep up, then the neighbors would get tomatoes. This really is a miracle product. One tip for growing tomatoes...be...

really is a miracle BUT don't use it on everything!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Miracle Grow Shake n Feed is the easiest and most effective form of the several Miracle Grow products, at least in my opinion. It works every bit as well as these reviewers say it does, and I really have nothing informative to add to their reviews in that respect.

   But, there are a few plants that you do not wanna use this on. I put it on everything about 7 years ago, and was shocked at the results (this was my first effort at gardening, both vegetables and flowers). Sunflowers that were supposed to be 8 ft tall were 12-15ft. It was great for almost everthing.

   Then my bachelor buttons came up. The flower heads were sized as normal, but the plant itself was 3-4 ft t...

Miracle Gro brought my Orchid back to life!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I bought an Orchid from a garden show, went and bought all the supplies for it including Orchid food and brought it home. I fed it on a regular basis and it just started looking limp. I thought I was over watering it so I slowed down the watering. My Orchid started to dry up.

I made food for my other plants, Miracle-Gro All Purpose plant food and thought maybe I should try it in my Orchid. I fed my Orchid as well as my other plants and a week or two later my Orchid came back to life with a vibrance that it didn't have before! It got buds and bloomed and I haven't seen it do that for about a year!

Not only did it bring my favorite plant back to life it makes all my house plants grow like magic! I have an orange tree and a palm tree and they have trippled in size since I started using this wonderful product. Its so easy to use, all you have to do is add it to the water you are going to pour on your plants and it disolves fast. Turns the water blue and then all you have to do is pour!

Miracle-Gro

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have been using Miracle-Gro for almost 20 years.  It is really a great product for my plants.  I do not by any means have a "green thumb", I have eight plants and I use Miracle-Gro to feed them with and the results are amazing.  I have left my plants out in the cold and they all but died.  I mixed up some Miracle-Gro and they came back to life.  I was really amazed at the differenc it made on my plants.  I would highly recommed this plant food to anyone.  I have used it in my rose bed also.  When I clean all the old dead straw, I put Miracle-Gro in the soil and it helps them to grow faster and the blooms are so pretty in the spring and summer time.  Miracle-Gro is really a "miracle" product to use on all plants.  It is easy to mix and I always refill the container once I water my plants so it is not such a chore to feed my plants the next time I feed them.  I usually feed them twice a month and I can really tell the difference.

Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food makes your plants Bloom !!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Miracle-Gro All Purpose plant food is a very good fertilizer for you plants. The home gardener will find this a very easy to use fertilizer compared to many others. It is also good for house plants, trees, shrubs, fruit bearing plants and vegetable plants. It is easy to mix up a batch and it dissolved readily in water. I have never had this fertilizer "burn" my plants like some other fertilizers do. Just dissolve a small amount in water and apply to the soil at the base of the plant. It is best if you do not pour it on the leaves as this is not the part of the plant that takes in the food. You want to get it to the roots of your plants. Also do not be heavy handed with fertilizers only feed ...

Miracle-Gro Plant Food...The proof is in the sauce.

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

We used Miracle-Gro All purpose Plant Food on our tomato garden this year and I have to say that we have yeilded more spaghetti sauce this year than ever before due to bigger, fatter and juicer tomatoes. We eat alot of our tomatoes with our Summer suppers, but we also use alot for Spaghetti sauce that we eat for the next year.  Our yeilds have not been great over the last couple of years so we decided to use Miracle Gro this past year and I am glad that we did.  It was a very easy product to use and was cost effective as well.  We were paid back tenfold with the bigger tomatoes.  Tomatoes is about the only thing that we grow, but next year we may decide to plant more with...

Miracle Gro Plant Food is a must in planting

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have used Miracle-Gro for every planting project I have ever done.  I run a Youth Club and Daisy Girls Scouts and whenever there is an outdoor project, from planting flowers in a cup to planting a tree outside, we love using Miracle-Gro because of it's durability and ease of use with the kids.  Letting them put plant food in with their plants helps them to understand that nature is just like them, you have to feed it to keep it growing.  Using the plant food is so easy and fun for the kids.  Miracle Gro is easy to find in most stores, it's a name that vendors know and use or stock frequently for it's customers.  This product makes our projects just so much ...

My brown thumb turned into a green thumb!

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

So I decided to grow tomato and chili pepper plants this year....and at first, I kept wondering what I was doing wrong because it wouldn't produce any fruit....I went through the checklist: I didn't overwater, soil moisture content was fine, and I was using the self watering method and sub-irrigation method, so I wasn't watering from top down. So my awesome neighbor bought me this Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food, and I promise you, within one week, my cherry tomatoes and chili peppers sprouted! With that said, I have read reviews out there which caution about the Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food having too much salt content and it only produces too much flowering. So I do suggest you do research on the whole nitrogen and/or salt intake/content for your plants. With that said, I use less than the minimum amount that's for the outdoor versus indoor plants. It has it in the instructions but the amount differs for the outdoor versus indoor plants.

Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food is really awesome!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food is the best plant food hands down! I recently started gardening and didnt know where to begin with plant food. So many brands so many prices and different reviews. A friend of mine recommended miracle gro and i had previously heard great things about it so I purchased it. I was pleasantly surprised. This plant food is truly awesome. My garden looked alive in no time. My roses bloomed nicely and really brightened up my house. I love that its easy to use so you dont have to be an experienced gardener with expensive tools you just need some time and miracle gro. Its always cheap at my local walmart and just about any home improvement store. It really helps your plants grow strong and beautifully. It really makes your plants shine greener! I love how well my garden looked right after using the plant food. Its a truly must have plant food for any garden! Definitely worth the money!

Works Well

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I had been using the fertilizer stakes around my trees that you have to hammer into the ground.  Well, if your ground is as hard as mine, that's not an easy task.  The Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed Continuous Release was recommended to me by a tree service, and I have to say, it makes the job much eaiser.  Now I can just walk around the yard and fertilize trees, shrubs and flowers all out of one bottle. No more getting down on my hands and knees trying to work fertilize into the soil.  No more having to mix a liquid, then carry around a heavy sprayer, with all the pumping every two minutes.  And, no more lifting those heavy bags of fertilize...

Really does help plants grow

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I love Miracle Grow! I find that it really does do what the package says. My father always used it on plants growing up so I guess I learned to love it at a young age. Our plants would grow so tall and look so healthy we always got compliments. One year he had Elephant Ears as tall as the house! Plus the tomato plants were gigantic also! Wouldn't believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes! So I have carried on the tradition of Miracle Grow one day to pass it down to my own children! A little bit of this product goes a long way! I normally buy the powdery one and mix it with water myself. I see they have a new thing out you hook right on to your garden hose! That is awesome, might have to try it out this year!

All your plants grow with this stuff.

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

This stuff is wonderful for your plants and veggies.

You do have to be careful about getting the product on you without wearing gloves and make sure you don't accidentally get the little crystals or the mixture in your eyes.

You do have to keep this out of reach of children and is harmful to pets.

Although this product helps your plants and veggies grow big, juicy and beautiful there is the safety factors mentioned above. So I really wonder how safe is this product that we are ingesting into our bodies after the product is grown.

I wish miracle grow could revamp this product so that it is safe all the way around and still work the way it does. I don't think that could be done.
