Advantages: Very good
Disadvantages: Very toxic, Makes grass grow well
As usual, my garden was looking generally miserable. I was sitting at home watching TV when I should have been mowing the lawn. But that must have been the best bit of gardening I ever did, because I saw an advert for Miracle-Gro, and decided to try it out as a last resort! So I went down to my local garden centre where the salesperson recommended it to me, and for the mere sum of three pounds I decided to buy it and give it a go. I followed the simple instructions on the back of the pack which told me to mix a spoonfull of the blue substance with a certain amount of water. So I did as it told me and began to water. I didn't expect an instant result, and continued watering my plants for a month with the mixture. The change I noticed was amazing. My flowers grew and looked healthier than ever. And they began to grow stronger and stronger - I realised this was powerful stuff. So after experimenting on just a few plants, I decided to spread my trial. That was about three months ago, and not everything is looking great and very healthy. Of course, it doesn't do the gardening for you, but it really does help. It comes in a brightly-coloured packet, covered in bright, helthy-looking flowers - very suitable considering the wonders it does to flowers in the garden department! It can also be used as a kind of fertiliser before planting new plants. Just dig your hole, sprinkle it with the powder and then put the plant in. This is a really good idea and gives plants an extra head-start which really works, and it turns out even better if you water them regularly. However, if you have small children, make sure you are careful that they do not get it anywhere near their mouths, as I found out it was toxic at a cost... yes, it can make you ill. Also, it's an idea to avoid sprinkling it on grass, as I foolishly, and rather typically did for about two weeks. My grass began to grow at a very
alarming rate, and I had to cut the lawn every two days to avoid it becoming a forest! Anyway, the effect wore off and I ran out of Miracle-Gro. That's another problem - it goes very fast. Anyway, I went to my garden centre to buy some more and noticed some new additions to their range. They now have some great new things like hose attachments to make the process that little bit easier and some other interesting things. I decided to give them a go. They were all good, but just didn't work quite as well as the original powder granuals. So, if your garden is looking rather miserable and needs some brightening up, then I suggest you give this stuff a go - it works wonders and really lives up to its name - it performs miracles!

- 20/05/01 Very observant of you to notice that the other variants don't work as well as the granules. That's handy to know, thanks.
And I'm glad you mentioned what happened when you put in on the grass. It's just the kind of thing I'd do, thinking "What if...". |
