Question about Miracle Gro Rose potting soil
Comments (4)That is a bummer. Heard it often here this year. I wish they would mark those bags better! It says on the garden soil bags that it isn't for use in containers but it is small print easily overlooked and many have fallen into the same trap you have - discovering its problems only AFTER they planted. I assume you know that there is much better (and cheaper) stuff than MG that's available for your WS containers? Dave...See MoreMiracle-gro garden soil
Comments (5)I do the same thing with almost all my transplants. All my tomato plants got up to almost 8' tall last year and we're talking 80 tomato plants. So I don't think it was the Miracle-Gro garden soil. Now take my opinion with a grain of salt as this is only my second year for having a garden and I know just enough to be dangerous. I would suspect maybe it had something to do with the extra watering. I live outside Atlanta and it gets very hot, even so I didn't water more than every 3 to 4 days. I hand water everything at the root level and gave them some miracle-gro fertilizer every 2 weeks....See MoreMiracle Gro Garden Soil for Raised Beds?
Comments (8)If that's the case if you want to put some high quality stuff in in the first place. Biochar, mushroom compost or horse manure compost are some of the things I add for new soil mix, aside from making my own leaves compost and worm casting. I would avoid MiracleGro unless you like fungus gnats taking over your garden. And avoid the Home Depot inhouse brand "Vigoro", it is junk, I wasted a lot money on that stuff when I started. It now take up space in the lowest depth of my raised beds. Even though I didn't intend to till, I ended up having to because there are trees growing around and their roots invade the beds and stealing the nutrients, so you may want to keep that in mind....See MoreI made a mistake with Miracle Gro All Purpose Soil
