Thanks for the video, even five years later. A couple of thoughts: miracle Gro’s all purpose fertilizer has a very high nitrogen Content. This is good for growing leafy material, but not blooms and fruit. The name all purpose is very misleading. Using this fertilizer on your tomato plants once flowering has begun will limit your harvest fairly significantly. But you will have a beautiful, big green leafy plant. High nitrogen fertilizer good for plants where you consume the leafy bits like lettuce. It’s also good in the early stages of growth when you want the plant to focus on size growth.
Also, you generally want to avoid spraying the leaves of your plants in the evening as the plants will sit wet overnight, which significantly increases the chance of disease spread. Instead you should do it first thing in the morning before the sun gets excessively hot. This will allow evaporation before night and avoid disease. In fact, you should generally not spray your tomato plants with water at all, opting for watering at the base instead. The exception is when, like you are in this video, using a foliar spray, which fertilize the plants via their leaves and stems.
Sorry for the verbose unsolicited advice .

Thanks 😊 great video

Where do I get one

[@yolandaganti5046]

How effective did you find the miracle gro? Especially on your tomato plants, in terms of fruit born and perhaps taste? Thought I'd begin my foray into gardening with tomatoes and herbs. I want to grow food for my family to enjoy.

[@BigBackyardIdeas]

very very good indeed I will shoot some video this coming week of this years crop which is huge!

[@yolandaganti5046]

@@BigBackyardIdeas Great! Thank you, I look forward seeing the videos 🤗

[@juliannatelles1614]

Can you use this for the lawn also since it says all purpose

[@BigBackyardIdeas]

I would suggest not, whilst I can't see it harming a lawn at all, there are other better products just for lawns

[@Masonjar94]

Thanks for this video I’m not smart and didn’t realize you had to have to thing set all the way to feed, I thought it was adjustable

How big a area can you do with one bottle? Finding liquid is not going down much

[@davidcottrell3056]

Bottle says 400 sq ft

[@jgehbinv]

Can it be applied with a water pail? If so how much per gallon?

[@robertdhenderson6825]

It comes with a scoop/spoon so you can use a water pail.

[@J2thebar]

the spoon gas markers for 1 and 2 gallon mix

The fertilizer does not seem to be coming out of bottle. I sprayed my yard and the level was the same as when I started.

[@marjoriekeenan1535]

Could someone please advise.

[@johnaden7473]

With the water on full and the bottle screwed onto the sprayer- turn the sprayer upside down for 15 seconds
Then right side up
Then do it again
It should clear the nozzle

[@johnaden7473]

Sometimes just squeeze the bottle as hard as you can for a second so some fertilizer drips out
Then put it on the sprayer

[@johnaden7473]

@@dartq you only need to squeeze it then release it pops the air bubble and or blows out the clog from dirt getting in your sprayer etc

[@jonathangreen6391]

The bottle needs to be high in the air, not down under the handle. IE the bottle needs to be pointing down, not up. If up it will not dispense the fertilizer but rather just refill with water and the level will show it is full.

[@anuksadiane4678]

Is the bottle refillable?

Thank you for your reply.
I have since read that you could pry off the bottle cap with a small knife. I haven't tried this yet so don't know if it can be done without damaging it.
Of course the problem then is working out the proper amount of fertilizer to add to the bottle to make a concentrate which will dilute at a proper rate without burning your plants.

[@BigBackyardIdeas]

apologies just picked this up, no I don't think they are.

[@TechnicalLee]

Yes, you can pry the top off carefully with a flat screwdriver and make your own solution. Use about 1/4 pound in a bottle.

[@LOTPOR0402]

@@sjp5405 You can reuse the bottles , not that easy to get the valve top off , but its knowing how much you need to dilute the feed of your choice

[@jamesblack4883]

Mate, you're doin' that warterin' totally wrong. 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩🤣🤪

[@clair8of8]

You are really not spraying your food w miracle Gro.. 😮

[@LOTPOR0402]

Expensive and wasteful .Plastic bottles do not last long and are designed not to be reused .They should of been made so you can refill

[@M0NXF]

You can refill the green end just pops out to refill the bottle

[@homeschoolfarmmom]

You can refill them

[@LOTPOR0402]

Yeh and its a load of faffing about to get the mix right

[@henrystrauss168]

We refill the bottles. Easy peasy. But the sprayer sucks...

[@J.J.Stokes]

Your watering is all wrong!

[@BigBackyardIdeas]

You are free to make your own video showing me and others the best way

[@henrystrauss168]

Dude! Don't water tomatoes from the top! Jesus!
