Are You An Gardener??

Well, I just love planting in my yard....especially all the pretty annuals that I plant each spring to enjoy looking at until late October. I not only plant in my yard, but I also plant a few pots for my front & back patios as well. I used to use regular potting mix for all the pots, but a few years ago when I was looking around the Garden Department for Miracle Gro I saw that they also make Miracle Gro Potting Mix. The bag read that the mixture feeds plants and prevents weeds.

The following spring I decided that I was going to give the Miracle Gro Potting Mix a try for the season. It is a bit more expensive than regular potting mix, but it also eliminates the need for you to have to feed your annuals all summer long. As this was a major plus for me...as you are supposed to feed your annuals every couple of weeks...and I would always forget too. lol lol This way with the potting mix I could just plant, water daily and watch them grow. I really liked the idea!!

Well, about 5 years later...I am a big-time Miracle Gro Potting mix fan. I even place a little of the mix in each hole of the annuals that I plant around my yard as well!!! I could not believe just how great this potting mix was. My annuals really grew larger with less work!!! My mom was a skeptic of the Miracle Gro mix at first....but after she saw just how well it worked, she too became a huge fan!!!

If you have yet to give it a try...you should. It says it feeds for about 3-4 months, but for me it lasts threw the whole season, as I have never had to Miracle Gro anything I have planted in it. In this past Sunday's newspaper coupon inserts (Redplum) there was a coupon for $2.00 off Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting mix good at Home Depot.

Have you used Miracle Gro Potting Mix already?? What was your take on it??
