plant food

i was wondering if any of you guys have kept some of this in your pots...is it necessary? ...let me know

Miracle-Gro® Shake 'n Feed® Continuous Release All Purpose Plant Food  :  The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company :

as a general rule of thumb, anything miracle-gro should be avoided if you can. read up on the forums for better stuff to use.

along with time release plant food, read up...

It's not that miracle gro sucks, it's just not good for growing pot. If you want to use soil, go with premium stuff like Fox Farms. It's available at most good gardening centers. check the website, www.foxfarmfertilizer.com for a retailer near you. use a good nutrient made for soil, such as Ionic or BioBizz. Pot doesn't like "fertilizer" in general. You can bet your left nut that any big brand "plant food" will toast your plants.

appreciate it and i have this miracle grow soil at my house should i go ahead and use it or is it just not worth it

You can use it, but you should refrain from any additional nutrient feeding for 3 months.

I believe the NPK ratings on miracle grow is misleading. If you choose to use it be careful with it, never used it myself so I could not tell you what works.

I would use it to plant some nice flowers or something. Go to your local grow store and get some good stuff. It's just wasting good seeds if you grow in miracle gro.
