Miracle Grow... It's all in the name...
Kevin
I was curious why there's so much stigma in the use of Miracle Grow and not Osmocote.Osmocote is a product of Scotts, the same company that produces the common water-soluble fertilizer Miracle-Gro.
I took some bullet point notes of the grievances against Miracle-Gro.
Ammonium phosphate acids soil and is harmful to soil organisms.
Ammonium inhibit release of potassium
Potassium that contains excess chlorine
Which burns plants and inhibit uptake of nitrogen.
I have no idea if any of this is true and it's all Chinese to me.
As a novice the one question I have is if it damages the soil-organisms out to your drip line. How long after you stop use. Would it take to recoup those soil organisms with the use of compost and wood chips?
What say you!
