Thread: Miracle-Gro Soils

  1. #1

    Question Miracle-Gro Soils

    Are Miracle-Gro Soils the best type of topsoil to use? Or is mainly marketing hype?

    I think it is only partly hype. Because every one of my plants that I used Miracle-Gro for is doing absolutely fantastic! I do believe it is one of the better soils that you can buy.

    Again I think it is down to personal choice also. Some plants respond to different types of soil than others.

    I also agree that it is only advertising hype to get people to purchase the product.

    I have found two sets of instructions on outdoor plants . One is just the regular dig a hole and insert plant, and a second set with miracle grow products for al most each step along hte way.

    I might get some fertilizer spikes for my newer plants just to give them an extra boost, but I wouldn't use all of the products listed!

    I don't use all the Miracle-Gro products either. I do use the soil. I don't have a completely green thumb so I need all the help I can get. I do use plant food sticks as well but they are the generic brand.

    I have not used Miracle-Gro but my Mother in law swears by it. It does seem to work though from what she says. I might just have to give it a go and find out for myself.

    My former FIL used Miracle grow every year and he had the biggest tomatoes and strawberries.

    I definitely recommend Miracle-Gro soil. Their other products are probably just as good but I've never used them. The soil works great for indoor plants. I haven't tried it in my garden outside yet. That means more soil and more money. :-)

    In my mind Miracle Gro is no different than Round Up. Certainly, it works wonderfully, but it is not natural or organic and isn't healthy for the earth. If you can find a fertilizer that works well without resorting to "miracle gro," I think it is best. Natural, organic fertilizers take more knowledge, understanding, experimentation to use properly, but in my opinion it is worth it.

    Also, if you learn to compost well, you can reduce your waste and eliminate the need to purchase fertilizers.
