Garden Feeder with 1-Pound Miracle-Gro All Purpo

Seller promptly issued a refund, hence the reason for 5 stars

The device does not work. The water leaks from the joint and water does not even reach the jar content to spray onto the plants. Had to resort to manually mixing the powder into a watering can to use.

Product leaking from body and connection so much that it is not spraying from nozzle. Can’t be repaired. I read other reviews that mentioned this but thought for sure not all would be like that. But mine was the same. Either they resell the same stuff when returned or they are all defective. Don’t bother

The feeder doesn’t fit all type of pipes. I am still looking for a connector !

watering and feeding my vegetables and flowers in my front and back garden

Just needed another one, and just as easy through mail.

This is the second one I bought. This system works great. Just add the powdered fertilizer to the level according to the area you want to fertilize, hook it up to a water hose, and start spraying. The nozzle allows for straight jet flow and other fine types of sprays. An additional note for stupid people like myself: You have to push the top button forward in order to get the fertilizer to actually travel through. It's a slide button, the only one there. I tried this unit at first and watered my 50 square-foot garden without pushing this button forward. Then, later on, I read the instructions or watched a YouTube video that showed how to push the button forward to get the fertilizer going through. When I finally pushed the slide forward, I could see the blue fertilizer disappearing gradually. When I did this at first without pushing it forward, the water in the container was still dark blue, and I just figured this was normal. So, push the slide button forward to get the fertilizer flowing. Also, this product comes with the plastic container full of fertilizer. There are marks on the container that show square feet of spread. It took me a while to realize that I needed to remove this powdered fertilizer to another container for storage and just leave what I needed in the spray container. For my little 50 square-foot area, I only needed about 1/4 or 1/8 the amount below the first mark. I did this, and it worked perfectly. I sprayed the little area in a few minutes, and the color turned from blue to clear, confirming that the fertilizer had gone through and applied where I had directed it to my plants. This is a perfect little tool for fertilizing small to large gardens, easily handling larger gardens of maybe 1000 square-feet or more.

I grow most of our veggies and herbs in my 2-room basement garden and have been doing this for about 8 years. Previous to getting these feeders, I could water my plants with a garden hose and wand using a garden type faucet I have in the basement. Although this method made watering much faster, I wasn't able to fertilize my plants unless I used a watering can to mix the plant food with the water. Since most of the plants in my large plant room are in 10-15 gallon pots, this meant hauling a 2-gallon watering from the sink faucet to the plants multiple times which generally took 3-4 hours to complete the task. I bought 2 of these feeders to have one for feeding greens and herbs and one for fruiting plants such as tomatoes, peppers, and squash. and can now use my hose to water and fertilize my plants. So far, the Miracle Grow plant foods have been working well. I have been using the fertilizer for acid loving plants to lower soil PH when needed, the general fertilizer for greens, and the tomato fertilizer for tomatoes, peppers, and squash. I love the trigger which makes it so easy to move from pot to pot and also appreciate the adjustments for spray patterns. Although I didn't have a problem with water leaking when using these feeders, I have had the problem with the watering wands I use. Adding another washer has always solved this problem. These feeders have made my watering job so much easier, and I can now water and feed at the same time without hauling a 2-gallon watering can multiple times. This allows me time for more fun stuff like harvesting and potting new plants. The only problem I have with this feeder is that is made to mix only the Miracle-Gro fertilizer. Admittedly, I like some of the other fertilizers I use better than Miracle-Gro as it does not contain the nutrients necessary for some of the fruiting vegetables, like tomatoes. I have added a video of my large plant room to give you an idea of what I am growing. I also have another room with shelves that is used for starting new plants and for growing smaller plants. I hope this review was helpful for you.

This is a super easy to use product. Idiot proof.
