Re: Battle of the fertilizers???

Miracle Grow will help produce large plants, pretty blooms and abundant
fruits, but that's NOT what it's all about.

Synthetic fertilizers are simply soluble nutrients dropped into the soil for
plants to suck up. They do not feed microorganisms which enable the soil and
soil organic matter to become an ongoing supply of slow release nutrients.
Miracle Grow will actually help in the DECLINE of soil life, thus reducing
disease resistance, the plant's efficiency at nutrient uptake and the
formation of beneficial soil compounds that produce healthy plants. The
ongoing and regular use of Miracle Grow causes plants to become dependent on
pesticides to stop disease and pest damage because the plant no longer has
the defense mechanisms it needs in place in the soil. Miracle Grow is then an
addictive drug to the plant which has no other source for nutrient.

Chemical dependency is almost as sad in plants as it is in people!

Now, start your plants in good soil, feed that soil organic matter and
vermicompost, water when needed and watch your garden produce abundantly,
resist pest attack and remain healthy WITHOUT the purchase of any exotic or
synthetic substance! It is not an exaggeration to say that, when worms are
involved, your healthiest garden will be produced from the organic waste
coming from your household! And your plants remain clean and sober!

When we grow healthy soil, healthy, productive plants are a natural byproduct
of that activity.

Miracle Grow is only ok in the absence of understanding of what
sustainability means.
