    good & awkward

    By Patricia on 08/26/2018

    This feeder works good if your plants are below your waist. If you are trying to fertilize high hanging baskets it awkward and heavy.

    Poor Design - DON'T Buy

    By Farmer on 09/02/2023

    This feeder is designed to keep filling up with water as you use it. There is no way to determine when you have finished using the product - the water starts out blue and is still blue, although a lighter shade, when all of the product is used. So, you then have to then safely dispose of the blue water somehow. Scott's doesn't have a recommendation for that... I tried running for a longer period; the blue was still there. I would like to return to the feeder with the siphon tube so you can tell when you have used all of the product as the container is empty!

    No Good, Don’t waste your monry

    By Robin on 05/28/2024

    For the past 8 years miracle grow feeders aren’t worth the money you have to spend on them. I’ve been buying 1 every year thinking maybe I’ll get one that will work. But never happens. My problem with these feeders 1: they leak around where you hook your water hose to it. 2: They spray out way too much food at once which will lead to burning your plants causing them to die. The older feeders were a whole lot better than these new fangled ones. Please go back to the way you made the older feeders

Q
Is there an internal tube in the Miracle-Gro Garden feeder jar?
A

No, there is no internal tube in the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder. There is no need of one with this feeder, as the water gets fed into the feeder and then cycled back out through an internal syphon on the inside of the cap.

Should the Lock be in the Open or Locked position on the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder?

The lock on the trigger of the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder could be used in either position.  Locked would hold the trigger down so you do not have to.

Q
How do you know when to put more feed into the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder bottle?

I've just bought this product and used to 200ml sachet it comes with. I've a medium garden and watered all the beds last night however the water in the bottle is still blue. It's either very efficient or not working. Any advice on how many litres of water I would expect to use before I need to refill.

A

The Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder is made to be used with water-soluble plant foods, which would be a solid granule concentrate. According to the manufacturer, a 1 lb packet of plant food should make approximately 40 gallons of solution to cover 400 square feet, and it would dispense in 10-12 minutes. The feeder will dispense 4 gallons of solution per minute (about 15 Liters). If you are having trouble using the sprayer you purchased, please contact the retailer from whom you purchased it, or you can reach Scott's directly at 888-270-3714.

A

When the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder has used all of the chemical you poured in for the needs for your lawn the reservoir attached to the sprayer would be empty.
