  • Asked by George from Mitchellville, Iowa
    08/12/2021
    Q
    How do I know the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder is dispensing?
    A

    The Miracle-Gro Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food is a blue crystalline product and even when diluted with water it will have a blue tint, fading in intensity as the product is used up.

    To operate the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder, Fill the jar with 1 refill packet of any Miracle Gro water soluble plant food. Attach the feeder to the hose and turn on the water. Feed - Squeeze trigger. Once the jar has filled with water, it will start feeding (15 seconds per 10 sq. ft). Refill: the feeder when the powder is gone. 

    1 jarful will cover 500 square feet of garden area or 1000 square feet of lawn. Recommended water pressure is 40 - 80 PSI. The feeder dispenses at 4 gallons per minute (1 gallon every 15 seconds).

    IMPORTANT: The jar comes already filled with Miracle Gro Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food for your first feeding.  Remove the plastic seal on the lid of the jar by unscrewing the sprayer head and peeling off the seal.

  • Asked by Nicola from Klamath Falls, Oregon
    07/31/2021
    Q
    What is the water pressure required for proper spraying of Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder?
    The water stays blue for far more than 10 to 12 minutes. My hose is 60 feet long so I fear that the length of the hose drops the pressure too much for correct ratio to be put on the plants.
    A

    We apologize but we have never heard of any specific pressure level required when using the Miracle Gro Garden Feeder, and most homes should have enough pressure for the unit to work correctly. Since we have not had this happen before, we would recommend you contact the manufacturer of the item as they may better be able to assist you with that type of information. You can reach Miracle Gro at 866-476-9244.
