for your garden such as Miracle Grow, or Scotts? For your flowers, veggies, tomatoes, all - none?

Does it really help? Is it worth the money?

I'm attempting organic and read a great article about compost tea! With that said I already had a box of Miracle Grow and I figured I would just finish off with that before I started with my compost tea. Not sure why I bought the Miracle Grow -- it was in a green box and seemed organic? I don't know. I've read the pros and cons on the stuff and I can see the point but I have to admit I do see a positive difference in my plants when I use it. Anyway, I don't use it that often and like I said I'm just going to finish off the box and then we'll try the compost tea.

I don't use it either, but have been contemplating it due to my tomatoes looking so crabby. But...I have heard that it doesn't really do anything either.

I am very interested in what other have to say that have/haven't used it and why

I do for the azalea,and rhododendruns,and hydrangea(they need it if you dont have already acid soil)

I also do "bloom booster"I think it is for reg plants...my astilbe and daylilies and stuff.

and I have a third kind but forget what is for...its about that time though so I better go find em in the shed

not sure about reg bloom booster BUT DOES make a noticeable diff esp in the rhododendruns!!!

I think I need to try something for my tomatoes too. They are so skimpy this year. These little tiny plants that are barely going to be able to support a couple tomatoes, yet they have a bunch of blossoms.
They grew so good last year. I don't know if it's just the spot that I put them in or the soil needing something. I am very disappointed with my tomatoes this year.
