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 RecommendThis doesn’t work at all. I should have read the reviews first. I didn’t keep my receipt so it is money thrown away and I’m really disappointed.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Terrible piece of equipment.
Have been a long user of miracle grow products, over 40 years and have found their products extremely good. Bought the Miracle-Gro® Garden Feeder (Plant Food Included) a month ago and have had issues with it from day one. An extremely poor piece of equipment , i.e., constant leak and a poor distribution of fertilizer. Truly a waste of money.

Does not mix well
I mixed 3 bags of fertilizer in the container over the last month & sprayed my bushes. Its does not mix well. Today I stirred it up with a screwdriver & tried again. I then emptied it. It had a good inch of fertilizer sludge in the bottom so I cleaned it all out & will try again. Water is always blue but I am assuming the fertilizer/water ration will continue to decline as a minimal amount is dissolving.

Not great
Would Not RecommendI just bought it because i have way too many plants to keep using the watering can. Sadly, the water was coming clear or it would splash blue here n there. I guess i will have to continue using the watering can .

Great once you figure out how it is designed work
Would RecommendI thought it was weird not having a tube in it to draw up the solution but it is not designed to need a tube. What I did was add the mircle grow then fill the bottle 1/4 full of water. I then mixed until the crystals dissolved and filled up the bottle to the top. Then I attached the sprayer. Once the bottle fills all the way to the top it will mix with the hose water. The little hole that is suppose to fill the bottle takes forever , so try that
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
It. Could. Work!
Would RecommendLike many other reviews I've read, I got my Miracle Gro kit without any instructions. The fertilizer container was already connected to the feeder nozzle, so I assumed it was ready to be used. I attached it to my hose, which has plenty of pressure, and pulled the trigger... and waited. And waited. And waited. The reservoir never filled up the way I believed it should. Not one to give up, I disconnected the reservoir from the feeder nozzle to look for any sign of what might be causing a blockage...

Does not siphon or mix
Would Not RecommendDoes not mix, dispenses only water. Very brief instructions on the bottle, no additional instructions. Seems it should have a siphon tube to mix the food, but there is no tube. I discovered after much fussing around that it will work if I hold it upside down. I shouldn’t have to compensate like that. 2 star rating only because it’s better than mixing food spoonful by spoonful in the watering can.

Missing documentation
Would RecommendPurchased 1 month ago and absolutely NO instructions that tell the buyer to remove the plastic film that covers the bottom part. It is ALSO missing instructions that say there must be a siphon tube in the top part that extends down into the granules. If you miss either one of these (which is easy since there are NO photos anywhere on their site to show these steps)then it will not mix. It seems that many reviewers missed this and that is why its only 2 stars. Very poor instructions.

Confusing instructions ........ or the lack of!
Would RecommendSeems to work well but still not very clear with mixed instructions online! When adding the food granules to the feeder, should you dilute with tap water and then attach to the hose or simply attach the dry granules to the hose? Instructions are ambiguous and not at all clear!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro

Fertilizer Doesn't Dispense
Would Not RecommendBought this today and everything worked great at first. No leaks as reported in so many reviews. It take a long time to fill and mix with the miracle grow fertilizer, but it NEVER dispenses. No blue or blueish tint water and the container stays full and bright blue. Waste of time and money!!!

Poor design
Would Not RecommendThe Miracle grow feeder does not work. Is there suppose to be a tub connected to the inside to draw the liquid up?. The only way it works is upside down. Do not recommend it.

Doesn't work as advertised.
I am disappointed with the hose end sprayer. I thought it would make my fertilizing chores easier but it didn't. It seemed just to spray water. The fertilizer should've been diluting, I believe, as I was using it. it seemed not to syphon the fertilizer from the canister up to the actual sprayer. I will go back to the measuring spoon and watering can. That worked.

Terrible
Would Not RecommendI let the water run FOREVER and no feed ever came out. There is no switch to change to “feed setting.” And the instructions are less than helpful and they are only 3 small pictures on the bottle. Sadly, I wasted my money and still have bare spots in my yard.

I use mine about one a month and spot water in between. It works very well for what I want it to do. You should quit selling it the whiners and crybabies!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Do not buy
Would Not RecommendI bought this last year and couldn’t get it to work. It is only a trickle of water that goes down into the feeder, it is basically just a water spray. I wish I never spent my money on it. 🫤
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Once the feeder is full of water, it will mix with the water soluble fertilizer inside and start to dispense as long as your feeder is on "Feed". We ...
