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 RecommendI bought this at the end of last season, so I would be ready to use it this season. I was really looking forward to it and hoping it would make my life easier verses having to fill 25 water cans of solution. Well it sucks. It fills with water but I don't think there is any fertilizer mixing with my water and coming out the nozzle. Seems like pain . I've been watering for 30 minutes and the water is still dark blue and full of crystals. Also the lock/ unlock doesn't seem to do a thing. I'm very ...

Poor design and doesn’t fit together well.
Would Not RecommendI have used this product once. It leaks and doesn’t mix the fertilizer that was included. I had to shake the sprayer while using it to get any mixing at all. I am very disappointed.

This is junk
Would Not RecommendJust bought this today and was looking forward to using it. TOTAL JUNK. It leaked horribly at the hose fitting, and yes the rubber gasket was in place. Also do not like the design as there is no way to use it just for watering without feeding. Being returned tomorrow. Bad design. Bad manufacturing. I expected better.

Thank for your helpful advice and the hose size.
Would RecommendWe have had a Ortho Gro feeder for years and just tossed it because it leaked so bad. I did read the reviews and figured it was worn out. I purchased a new today and same problem. Ok I came in and read the comments of the Miracle Grow company about the hose size. I have one of those metal flexible hose’s which are light and better on an aging back and joints. After reading the comment I took aff the sprayer and place it on a normal hose. Bingo!! Problem solved..Thank you Ortho Go for that bit ...

Great way to dispense the Miracle Grow
Would RecommendI never can find these in stores so I am ordering one.

Useless Feeder
I've been through 2 or 3 of these and need another but I will find some other brand. These are just junk. The gasket on the hose attachment is useless...you get wet from your hand to your shoulders and beyond. And the only way to get to really feed Miracle Gro is by holding it upside down. Then it sprays too much versus none. Please don't email me about your guarantee. No more of this crap even if free.

Easy as pie no leaks
Easy to use very straightforward filling so much easier than watering can but have to shake while watering but very good

Lock and unlock button
Would RecommendI am not reviewing because I only used it twice, but I have no idea what the lock and un-lock button is for. it isn't in the directions. Can someone please tell me about that
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
The locking feature on the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder is so that you do not have to hold the trigger in while you are spraying for long periods of time...
Have a question
Would RecommendIsnt there supposed to be a siphoning tube going into the fertilizer container? Mine doesnt have one and wont dispense solution. I had one many years and was looking forward to having one again.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
The Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder does not have a siphoning tube. While the jar is filling, plain water is spraying from the shroud. Once the jar is full ...

Feeder leaks terribly
Would Not RecommendIve purchased a new one for last 3 years. I replaced the hose seal and they just leak every where. Its really crazy. Do you have a fix or can you send me one you know doesnt leak? Tired of getting wet and water here is expensive. Fertilizer is good just not the sprayer.

Big mess, doesn't look like it works
Would Not RecommendThe solution, when it does come out indicated by seeing blue water have to shake it to see it come out otherwise its just clear water and the seal where the gun and tub connect is not a very good seal and its all over my paver driveway, good thing I spotted it as when it dries it stains. Also, opening the device there is undissolved solids that obviously will not add to the job, what's that about? I don't know what to do with this thing, if I find out I will fix this review, but it seems pretty ...

Easy to use
Would RecommendI've had mine hose end sprayer for 6-7 years simple to use. On feeding day I typically use 6-8 lbs of food. As i have thousands of plants and palms -central florida. Never had a single problem. Works like a champ!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Great way to feed the olants
Would RecommendNot sure about all those bad reviews. Purchased/used 10/8/22; after reading instructions worked great. No mess, no drips, love the three spray option. Been a miracle-grow user for 30+years. Just planted new flowers. Needed to get immediate food into the plants before frost. Though first time using this sprayer, won’t be the last. Another dose in 2-weeks.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Works well...but....may need better instructions..
Would RecommendI get the impression that the bottle has to fill with water up to the top before the dissolved liquid gets dispensed. This is not very clear from your youtubes or from the box of fertilizer. No siphon...ergo bottle has to fill to get out through the lid????? I add water to the bottle before screwing the lid to the nozzel.... I think it is needed but not 100% sure. OTherwise one has to run water for severl mintues first before spraying plants?
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Totally frustrated

LEAKING ISSUE
Would RecommendI bought this last summer and have used it maybe 8 times. It has always leaked horribly between the handle and the swivel nut that attaches to the hose. It has a washer inside and it still leaks. I added a second washer and the leak has stopped completely.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Impressive
Didn’t want to buy the sprayer as I already have a sprayer for watering my garden. So glad I did. Love the “gentle rain” this provides. Make fertilizing so quick and efficient! Totally impressed! I even use it without fertilizer sometimes rather than switch back to my other hose end
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Doesn’t work
Would Not RecommendThe jar doesn’t fill up on its own with just the water turned on per the instructions. I tried filling it and the over filling it. Still didn’t dispense the contents. If I shook it, some came out but plain water otherwise.
