[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Liked the way it spreads with the cap. Just open and it spreads evenly. Applied two weeks ago and the tomatoes grew one foot! The other citrus plants and palms look healthier. Recommend this . I use it every year.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, growth great
I would recommend this to a friend!

Takes feeding guesswork out of the picture, beautiful summer blooms

Expertise:Intermediate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product couldn't be easier to use, as you just sprinkle it on the soil and water! No more wondering if its time to feed again, or if I am over feeding or under feeding. Its spring and planting is just starting in Reno, so now is the time to have impact for the whole summer! This couldn't be easier to use, water regularly and results are beautiful.
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Directions, Quality, Value, takes feeding guesswork out of the garden.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product in the past and it has produced full juicy tomatoes that have excellent flavor that does not compare to anything you can buy at the store! I sprinkle it not only on my tomatoes but also on my squash, peppers and lettuce. It keeps them healthy and disease resistant. This new formula has started off as good or better than the old formula. I can't wait to see this years garden results. The product is easy to use and effective. Thanks Scotts Miracle grow shake and feed!
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality, Value

No Instructions For Heavy Feeders In 20" Pots
on July 3, 2021
Posted by: Glynnes
from Kansas
Gender:Female
Expertise:Intermediate
No application instructions for heavy feeders in pots.
No instructions for 16", 20" or larger pots.
30 day application is,
"UP TO 30 days". So what does that mean?
Thanks to Miracle Gro potting mix and Shake 'n Feed, my tomatoes in big pots are huge with many enormous, spotless not yet ripe tomatoes.
However, I have had to guess the amounts and frequency of fertilizing.
Alexa has helped me guess the amount, my extension office says fertilize once a month.
So I close my eyes, dump a lot on, water like mad, and hope nothing dies.
Please give application instructions for pots
1. amount per inch with a range for heavy feeders.
2. Actual permitted frequency of application.
How often is too often?
No instructions for 16", 20" or larger pots.
30 day application is,
"UP TO 30 days". So what does that mean?

Horrible product!

Gender:Female
Expertise:Intermediate
I bought this for the first time, spread it on almost half my garden and every plant has either died or is headed to the grave. (About 100 tomatoe plant, 20-30 pepper plants, 10-20 Brussel sprouts etc. Will never purchase agai, truly heart breaking to think I was helping the plants out but in reality killed them.
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use plant food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The day after I received my Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed All Purpose Plant Food, I planted a young Weeping Subhirtella Cherry Pendula (tree). Before I covered the soil with decorative stones, I sprinkled the soil surrounding the tree with Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed All Purpose Plant Food. One week later, the tree is thriving with new leaves and blossoms appearing almost daily.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality, Value
