    Had anyone used Miracle Grow Bloom Buster plant food to already grown plants to get them to bloom often and with large blooms ?.
    This was recommended to me by a friend , but I've never heard of it:scratch:.
    Just asking to see if anyone has used this product and what were the end results.:blue thumb:.

    I've never heard of it either. Maybe it's a new one?

      There seem to be quite a few "magic" plant foods around at the moment . Charlie Dimock is advertising Planting Magic . An impartial review on these would be very useful.

        I got some plant magic cheap last year so gave it a go. It was my first year so not a lot to compare it to but the bedding plants I used it on all did very well. I had some huge petunias in my border but like I said, nothing to compare it to.

          it contains more phosphorous than normal that's the only difference form the other one they sell . So should help with more blooms

            That's my chain of thought as well @WeeTam ! Just mix slow release , water gel, growmore with a bit off compost . Call it Planting Magic , put it in a glossy packet and sell it at 10 times the price :biggrin:
            @CharlieBot as you say its very difficult to do like with like comparisons . But if you do like the results keep using it :dbgrtmb:

            Does Miracle Gro Magic stuff give improvement like the trial below :scratch: In a test carried out by....................Miracle Gro :th scifD36:
            :biggrin:
