What Customers Are Saying
The Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder appears to have mixed reviews. While some customers report excellent results, easy use, and great convenience, many others have experienced significant issues with leaking, inconsistent fertilizer dispensing, and poor quality and durability. When the feeder works as intended, customers appreciate the ease of use and the results it produces, but the high number of complaints about reliability and functionality suggest the product may need design and manufacturing improvements to address the common problems.

Would Not RecommendAs my old sprayer needed replacing purchased a new one last month. However this new one is must annoying as it constantly leaks where most of the feed seems to go! I brought it back to the retailer for a replacement but the very same problem!!!! The old one was absolutely perfect with never a problem but this one is just a nightmare. Whatever you did to the new design is not working. Sadly would not recommend this new version !!

Very disappointing
Would Not RecommendI bought this a month ago and as I cannot lift heavy watering cans I anticipated an easy way of feeding my plants. Nothing leaks and nice to use BUT it does NOT feed the garden. The mix in the bottle is the same level now after three uses. The mixture is not coming out of the bottle. Please help.

Jar did not fill, feed was still in cup.
Would Not RecommendI bought this yesterday because the watering can is just too heavy for me to manage. Anticipating having solved my problem, I tried it out this morning. The cup never filled with water and afterward the sludge of feed remained at the bottom. I tried filling the cup before attaching but the cup still remained full of brown sludge. There was no hint of any blue or smell of the product.. I am older and having to drag the hose back to the garden is quite taxing. Finding out that all that work was fo...

Frustration leakage
Would Not RecommendI bought a new liquiafeed garden sprayer. The very first use it leaked water and fertilizer from the trigger all over my hand. It did dispense the liquid to the garden but much of it leaked out of the trigger/handle. Not sure if its safe to have it on my skin.

Sprayer leaks wildly right out of box. DON'T BUY
Would Not RecommendSAVE YOUR MONEY. THE DISPENSER IS HORRIBLE. IT DOESN'T JUST LEAK , IT SPRAYS WILDLY TO THE SIDES JUST ABOVE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO HOSE, WHERE THE UNIT SWIVELS. JUST HORRIBLE. STAY AWAY

My third one
Would Not RecommendI use and take care of my tools. Ranch setting. I love the fertilizer, however the garden feeder trigger never seems to work, regardless of the feeder putting out product, without the trigger to shut off when desired, it doesn't cut it! I know they are plastic and all but nothing seems broken internally, no rattles, etc but is stuck open. So disappointing. Do I need to seek an alternative?

Not sure if it’s working...
I’ve been using this for about a month, but not sure if the product in the jar is being dissolved. The flower food still seems a bit clumpy in the bottom, and the water is still blue after I’ve applied it to several plant sites. Given that, I’ve been using one package over a period of 2-3 weeks. Also, since I’m feeding pots and small beds, it’s impossible to gauge if I’ve covered 500 sq. ft. More thorough directions would be appreciated.

Don't waste your $$$
Would Not RecommendThe first time you use it the water churns in the plastic bottle and mixes the fertilizer but each time afterwards you get no water/fertilizer mix. Just streams out water. We took the bottle off and it's a small drip of water coming down from the handle. Bought two of them and they both did the same. A one time use is all you'll get.

Horrible design
Would Not RecommendI used the feeder yesterday for over 1 hour and again today for over one hour and there was still over 1/2 inch of granules in bottom. The sprayer leaked also but not too bad. I can't afford to use any more water than necessary. Water costs money.

Works great!
I've owned a few of these over the years and have always had great success with them. Easy to use and durable. They need to sell the reservoirs w/ a screw in lid so I don't keep wasting different fertilizers ever time I switch from one to another
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Worked so easily
Would RecommendI used it for the first time today, made sure the washer was in place at the hose connection and it worked like a champ. So easy to adjust the flow with the trigger so my new plants got a gentle watering. I used it for 25 minutes and there is still fertilizer in the bottle, but I was not using it full stream. So much easier than repeatedly filling watering cans.

Miracle Grow Garden feeder
Would Not RecommendI used to swear by this garden feeder! Now all I do is get drowned & swear AT it! Don't know what changed in the design but it just doesn't work like the old one! I checked the washers, valves, hose! Blew in it! On it! Thru it! Hooked it up & got drenched again! The water just won't go thru the valve & into the container! The generic feeder works great! Very dissatisfied!

confusing product
i see the water move in the chamber but it stays blue and does not ever seem to drain. If it won't go clear how to i know its working and I'm not over watering my vegetables

Very Dissappointing
Would Not RecommendMany years ago I used the old design with no problems with excellent results. I tried to source the Mircale-Gro Feeder in Australia again but unfortunately I could not find it anywhere. When I searched the web all I could find was the newer design (not in Australia) so I assumed the product would be just as good as previous experiences so I ordered it from America....Oh boy was I wrong. This product is absolute rubbish! I got watered more than my plants. I have read previous posts and their is ...

Doesn't Mix Well
Would Not RecommendI bought this last year and I'm disappointed that Micracle-Gro even put their name on this. It barely mixes the feed with the water. I've owned this over a year and it doesn't effectively work. The three spray settings are alright, though one is essentially a straight-pipe and I can't imagine feeding plants with a fire hose. If my Schultz feeder hadn't broken, I wouldn't have known about this feeder. Now, I'm sorry Schultz no longer makes a feeder. It would be better to use Miracle-Gro mix...

Can’t tell if working
Would Not RecommendUsed feeder according to directions. After 15 minutes of use, the solution in the feeder was still very blue. Does that mean it malfunctioned and no miracle fro was actually dispensed? Not sure it was worth the purchase. May be better to use a standard ortho sprayer.

Miracle gro feeder
Would Not RecommendI purchased one of these feeders to go on my hose pipe the first time I used it, it spit covering me in wated, I took it bacl to the garden centre and they grudgingly replaced it, I had purchased it two days previously before, it has sinced been used only half a dozen times, when I used it last week it has split once again, very disappointing, needing to replace again,

Need same answer as Dr. Bob
Would RecommendThe sprayer works fine for Miracle-Gro solid crystal fertilizer, but Like Dr. Bob I want to also use it to spray liquid insecticide. We are having bagworm problems in Virginia this year and this sprayer would be a great deal of help in reaching the tops of larger trees. Need to know how much liquid to add to the tank to achieve a 2 Tbs concentration/gallon of water. Thanks.

Very poor product!
Would Not RecommendHad one that leaked, not the hose but the unit itself, so bought a new one , it leaks just as bad!! The only upside is my hair and beard are growing great!! Bring back the old style, used them for years with no problem!!
