Re: Too much Fertilizer?
I don't think it 's possible to overfertilize with
miracle gro IF you follow the general guidelines they
give: About 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and
about a gallon of food per 10 square feet.
I used miracle gro too but am currently using 18-18-21
with a pumpkin growing. I tried to find one with
higher potassium but haven't found anything yet.
