Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder with Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food, Hose-end Feeder for Outdoor Plants, 1 lb.

This is the second one I bought. This system works great. Just add the powdered fertilizer to the level according to the area you want to fertilize, hook it up to a water hose, and start spraying. The nozzle allows for straight jet flow and other fine types of sprays. An additional note for stupid people like myself: You have to push the top button forward in order to get the fertilizer to actually travel through. It's a slide button, the only one there. I tried this unit at first and watered my 50 square-foot garden without pushing this button forward. Then, later on, I read the instructions or watched a YouTube video that showed how to push the button forward to get the fertilizer going through. When I finally pushed the slide forward, I could see the blue fertilizer disappearing gradually. When I did this at first without pushing it forward, the water in the container was still dark blue, and I just figured this was normal. So, push the slide button forward to get the fertilizer flowing.Also, this product comes with the plastic container full of fertilizer. There are marks on the container that show square feet of spread. It took me a while to realize that I needed to remove this powdered fertilizer to another container for storage and just leave what I needed in the spray container. For my little 50 square-foot area, I only needed about 1/4 or 1/8 the amount below the first mark. I did this, and it worked perfectly. I sprayed the little area in a few minutes, and the color turned from blue to clear, confirming that the fertilizer had gone through and applied where I had directed it to my plants.This is a perfect little tool for fertilizing small to large gardens, easily handling larger gardens of maybe 1000 square-feet or more.

This is the best $14.71 I've spent!!!! Works excellent!!!!! So much better than using a watering can!!!

Love this new feeder, very nice upgrade from the older ones, makes feeding the garden & the flowers so much faster & easy too

I have an earlier version with a ball-valve shutoff that is 40 years old. Admittedly, it sat in the garage unused for many years, but it's robust and useful. I wanted the new version sold here for the rotary spray selector that might reach into tall bushes. I also thought I wanted the trigger valve with lock. Now I'm not so sure. Both need fine-tuning to be useful.1. The rotary spray selector lacked detents and readable positions. The head has raised letters indicating the spray selected, but no contrast. I painted the letter area with a Sharpie, let it dry and lightly sanded the letters so they contrast with the black background. At least I can read them.The rotary selector lacked detents. I removed the yellow head and noted there was already a detent 'tab with ball' molded into the green body, it just wasn't making contact with the stop holes in the yellow part. After experimenting with glue, springs and paperclips, I simply used a heat gun to bend the detent tab forward enough to positively engage the holes in the yellow rotation piece, then quenched it with water to hold that shape. It now has positive stops and clicks. Yay!2. The sprayer is nose-heavy when the tank is full. The handle and valve should be above the tank for balance, not behind it. In addition, the valve lock might be durable, but it makes a cheap snapping sound engaging and disengaging. I temporarily fixed both problems by adding a hose-end ball valve like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X6CHK6K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1I chose that one only because it was in my benchstock.I might lash-up some copper pipe to locate the Melnor valve above the sprayer for balance. But the juice probably isn't worth the squeeze.

Good quality hose feeder. Would purchase again.

A great quality yet low priced feeder that makes a huge difference on plant growth vs no fertilizer...!

The concept is great, but the product doesn’t deliver a consistent amount of fertilizer. The water spraying out of it goes from clear to blue, completely randomly. I feel like during the spraying process some plants are getting no fertilizer and some are getting super doses of fertilizer. Love miracle grow, but we’ll be going back to the old school mixing and application.

There is no competition to this feeder. It is easy to use and it gets the job done quickly. I have used these for years and they dispense the food/fertilizer at the proper rate.
