Both have been around for decades and have been discussed - both pro and con - many times. The search here will pull them up for you. Don't recall any rave reviews about either of them when compared to the reviews of other fertilizers available. The Organic Gardening forum here had a big debate about it a year or so back that might still be available. Since most of its ingredients don't have to be listed on the label there is some question about if it is really organic or not. And there is always the debate about the effectiveness of foliar feeding vs. soil feeding that leads some to question its value. Personally I think there are many other organic fertilizers available that have a much better documented track record than these two. Dave

I LOVE spray n grow! Do a test, spray one plant with it and do not spray an identical plant. You will see the diff. Best place to use it IMO is in the veggie bed, but I use it on ALL of my plants.

I just called them with a question about their lawn fertilizer and asked your question regardeing sng and daylilies. CSR stated that it can be used for daylilies but I have never tried it. Someone has posted a picture of their daylily on Customer Testimonials tab.

I agree with Tom. Practically speaking, the most efficient pathway (by far) for nutrients making their way into the plant are through the roots. This is so true that if you actually see an improvement in your plant after foliar feeding, you need to ask yourself, "What's wrong with my (primary) nutritional supplementation program. It's really best NOT to approach growing with a shotgun approach - "I'll throw a bunch of nutrients at my plant and HOPE something does some good". People that grow for a living seldom resort to foliar feeding, in part because it's usually rather ineffective (results widely divergent) and it can easily mask symptoms of other deficiencies. For example the practice of dosing with Epsom salts can mask Fe and Mn deficiencies AND create Ca deficiencies, even when the amt of Ca in the soil would normally be adequate. When people who grow for a living see a need for foliar feeding, it's almost always because the plant is growing so fast it cannot take up nutrients fast enough to keep an adequate supply in the nutrient stream. This doesn't usually present itself as a problem in our gardens, and certainly not in containers. The foliar application will also have been targeted at specific nutrients identified by analyzing plant tissue samples. You would never see a farmer applying something w/o understanding what the outcome will be. Foliar feeding may not resolve deficiencies, even if you were to identify and supply the nutrient(s) most deficient. The reason is, many nutrients are immobile or nearly immobile in the plant. For example, if the plant is experiencing a Ca or B deficiency and you treat the foliage with compounds containing Ca and B, it doesn't 'cure' the Ca and B deficiency of roots and stem tissue because the elements are used locally because they are not readily transported throughout the plant. I'll tell you what your goal should be as you approach nutrient supplementation, then you see if you can improve on what I said: The goal for fertilizing plants can easily be described. Ideally, we would work toward ensuring that all the nutrients plants normally secure from the soil are in the soil solution at all times, in a form the plant can assimilate, at the ratio at which the plant actually uses the nutrients, and at a concentration high enough to ensure no deficiencies yet low enough to ensure the plant isn't impeded in its ability to take up water and the nutrients dissolved in water. If you agree with that and it sounds reasonable, you can ask yourself if whatever efforts you make bring you closer to the goal or make it more elusive. If you don't agree or it sounds like it can be improved on, you can share how you would change the goal. Obviously, to have a hope of reaching that goal when growing in the ground, you need to test your soil and provide nutrients based on that test. Containers are much easier. You can buy fertilizers that supply nutrients in a ratio very close to that at which the plant actually uses them. Quality container media isn't very good at feeding the plant, so the grower needs to shoulder that responsibility. Christine asks "Al -- What is your opinion on Boogie Brew?" I'm ALWAYS skeptical of products that come with flashy packaging and lots of promises without a lot of substance insofar as HOW they are supposed to fulfill those promises. Also, when I ask myself if incorporating this product in my supplementation makes my goal easier or more elusive, I come up with more elusive. I can expand on that if you like, but if it supplies 'something' the plant needs that is already being supplied in the 'ideal range', it has no potential for benefit - it can only limit, because no matter how important a nutrient is to the plant, an excess of that nutrient has only the potential to limit. THEN, there are the thoughts of Linda Chalker-Scott, most famous for dispelling horticultural myths. Click me to see what she says about compost teas. As you read, try to keep in mind she understands plant physiology infinitely better than the average hobby grower/gardener. Maybe I raised more questions than I answered, but my hope is always that I answered a few you didn't even know you had. Happy Halloween! Al
