Miracle-Gro Shake ’N Feed All Purpose Plant Food, 4.5 lb

A four-and-a-half-pound shaker container of all-purpose granular plant food.

OUR TAKE

A shaker container keeps feeding a mixed border straightforward. Measure the bed first, follow the label rate for that planting, and keep granules off leaves and hard surfaces. Water as directed and note the feeding date so the next application stays on schedule.

Good for
Feeding suitable in-ground and container plants according to the label.
Look elsewhere if

Where it asks for a compromise
