Good question! I don't know!

I use Miracle Gro on the flowering plants in the garden borders and I think it makes a difference. Last year I didn't use it but I used the Miracle Gro compost in all my flowering containers and the containers grew far bigger plants with much more flowers than the flowers in the borders that I didn't feed.

When we got our first allotment I used Miracle Gro for vegetables in the first year and I got good crops but I had nothing to compare it with. I haven't used it on vegetables since and last year I used Organic Seaweed Extract as it's completely natural. They now make Miracle Gro Organic Choice for vegetables which is completely chemical free but I don't know what is in it. I guess we need to read the back of the packet in the garden centre.

I use the feed from Poundland, just as good as the dearer products, for general feeding of plants.

I've used it in the past and it's pretty good as a general feed especially if you have poor soil. It has one of the highest NPK ratios of plant feeds on the market, which is why I picked it at the time. Like with a lot of things you get what you pay for.
