Questions about Grow Fertilizer

* Are there any health concerns when using fertilizers on vegetable gardens?

There is no need to worry about waiting a certain time period before eating the vegetables that have been treated with miracle grow fertilizer. The fertilizer is not absorbed into the fruit so there is no reason to wait before taking a bite! (After washing it, of course!)

Some pesticides have an application cut off date prior to harvest time that some people may confuse with not applying fertilizer soon before harvesting. You can use miracle fertilizer as needed whether it is near harvest or not. Miracle grow is perfectly safe and contains only nutrients essential to plant growth. There are no toxins present as in insecticides.

* Do any kinds of plants not benefit from fertilizing with miracle grow?

There are no plants that do not reap the benefits of plant food. They like to be fed as much as we do! There are fertilizers used for specific types of plants, but miracle grow is recommended for growing the biggest most beautiful tomatoes. It can be applied to all plantings even scrubs, trees, and especially roses.

* What is a good gardening method to use miracle grow fertilizer?

Make a shallow furrow and pour the fertilizer down the length of the row before you plant the seeds. When the plants are six or so inches tall, dig another trench along side the plants, place 13-13-13 granular fertilizer, and cover with soil. When the vegetables begin to bloom, spray miracle grow every couple of weeks until the fruit ripens.

Gardening Side Tip

For excellent results growing peppers and tomatoes, cut the bottom from plastic soda bottles and bury the bottle at an angle toward the plant with the top down in the ground. Fill the bottles when watering the plants to prevent getting the leaves wet.

* How much is the regular dilution when using liquid miracle grow fertilizer?

The standard recommendation is one tablespoon of fertilizer to one galloon of water.

* Is it recommended to continue using miracle grow fertilization on plants that are blooming?

Flowering scrubs and trees hardly ever require additional fertilizer once they are firmly established. If trees and scrubs are provided with too much nitrogen, the plants mainly produce foliage in place of flowering.

Typically, scrubs and trees are not fertilized in the summertime. The fertilizer stimulates new growth, which may not have time to harden off before winter. With growing vegetables, it is beneficial to continue spraying up until produce is harvested.

Maybe it has happened to you where one year there is a bumper crop of tomatoes and the next season the produce is light or none at all! A good suggestion is to try using miracle grow fertilizer and you will be amazed at how fast your garden improves.
