    Just so you'll know, Miracle-Gro uses organic materials that are derived from plants or animals. Both were their organic Miracle-Gro and regular Miracle-Gro. Check it out for yourself at http://www.miraclegro-organics.com/faq.htm.

    Manymon I totally agree with you. I really do not trust some of these grow fast products, because I just do not feel that they are natural.

    Non-organic Miracle-gro has been around for decades. Buying a Miracle-gro "organic" product is like buying Kraft "organic" products to me. It's a rich company jumping on the "organic" hype bandwagon. They do not embrace the true meaning of organic. Mtrent said it very well, "I do not trust them."

    New gardener here! I agree, Miracle-Gro can be lots and lots of hype. I admit, I've been using Miracle-Gro potting soil and fertilizer in my flower pots for years and am very satisfied at my results.

    I do have a question for the experienced(or not so experienced gardners). What is your opinion on using Miracle-Gro Organic Garden Soil as a quick fix, when a garden soil needs help and there is absolutely no composted matter readily available.

    This is my first year with a raised bed and I've discovered my soil to be lacking. We do have a compost bin, but I had very little to use this spring, so I mixed in what I had, and in desperation have mixed in some Miracle-Gro organic matter(about 1", mixed into the soil around existing plants) to help with my soil. Our compost bin continues to get added to, but there hasn't been much de-composition with it.

    And another question on fertilization. When I did container gardening I used Miracle-Gro fertilizer for vegetables. Can this product be used in my raised bed, now that I have added the organic matter?

    Thank you.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And I think MiracleGro is one of the better products. Everything I have read and heard tells me this. I also understand when a company does very well with their product that people will question the product. If it is so bad for the environment, why do so many people use it? I doubt that is just because of the advertising that they buy it.
