Miracle-Gro Continuous Release Plant Food, 2 kg Tub

Have been using this material for several years, so bought this from Amazon to replenish stock. Does a super job feeding garden plants and potted indoor plants as well. Good quality material at a good price from Amazon.

value for money

The tub contained four packets of pellets. It is difficult to get even distribution as you have to spread the pellets and then dig them in. Would prefer dissolvable formula which you can then water in. Pellets seem to remain whole in the ground for a very long time so not seen any instant success with the plants.

I am fairly new to horticultural pursuits. I suppose it is part of getting towards the middle part of your life that you become more aware of the seasons and want to do something that connects you with nature. Or it may just be that the slower pace of gardening and the undoubted soothing effects of the green hues of the plants are good for the soul. I do not suppose that I will ever be one of those species fascists that you see on the TV at fancy flower shows in London who spout on about the latest variant of some obscure perennial that they have groomed through a highly selective plant breeding regime to conjure the ultimate specimen of these chosen genus. That to me is wrong. And it is fooling with Mother Nature. One day these people will be punished for what they have done. I do like to buy a few packets of seeds every year and see what I can grow. Some flowers but mostly vegetables. Flowers are fine but generally you cannot eat them. Unless you are running one of those high end fancy foraging restautants in Copenhagen and then good luck to you. When I started my horticultural activities the name that immediately sprung to mind to assist with the growth of my plant life was Miracle-Gro. I think it stems back (see what I did there) to the 1970s when there was a TV advert with Ted Moult demonstrating how Miracle Gro would make your flower grow "the size of dinner plates". I do not suppose that the advertising standards authority would allow such exaggerated claims now, but it stuck with me. Thinking about it, I think the Ted Moult was the chap on the Everest double glazing adverts rather than Miracle Gro, I cannot quite remember. What I do know is that this is the go- to product for me so it must have had some lasting imapct some 40 years on. Oh yes, and it does see, to work. You sprinkle these little pellets around your plants and they grow bigger. It is an simple as that. I knkow this because I did an experiment where I put some around one plant but not hte other and the one with this stuff grew bigger. This simple scientific experiment gives me the confidence to know that I have made the right choice. And there is quite a lot of it in the packet too.

Very happy with seller, product and delivery driver. Thank you

Worked well

It’s a good product - I’ve bought it before many times. But, on this occasion, Delivery has let it down Two very similarly packaged products- Water-soluble and Slow release. I ordered the latter (more expensive) and got the former. Only noticed when we came to use it: and too late to return.

This product does exactly what it says on the packaging... your garden will grow miraculously when using this (especially after a few periods of heavy rain). The plastic tub makes for handy and durable storage and keeps the plant food dry in damp sheds. I decided to go on a bit of a frenzy, adding this to all of my border plants and bushes and I wish I had half the dosage. It's super easy to apply and comes with a handy little scoop. The feed is sealed in multiple individual bags inside of the box. As mentioned, after some rain and a couple of months, everything is growing like crazy - way more than usual. Flowers and leaves look brighter, healthier and in better condition and my garden is now a bit of a jungle. It's main purpose is also it's main downside - it makes things grow quick. That not only means the plants and bushes you want to grow, but also weeds. I am not weeding twice as much as before and it doesn't seem to stop. I am now taking approximately 3-4 extra large garden bags of bush/hedge clippings to the tip every few weeks. Overall, and absolutely amazing product, but as warned, use sparingly and build up the dosages!
