Answer 2

yes it is

Answer 3

That's a very good question.Is it totally safe?I doubt it.I have gotten away from all chemicals in my garden.Good organic soil works just fine.Anything that you put into the roots and foliage will end up in your body after you eat the plant.

Answer 5

It is extremely safe. I use it on everything.

If you want you can actually just spray it on the plants in question rather than pour it in the ground. It works for me,,,especially on my tomatoe plants.

Answer 6

Yes it works and is perfectly safe.  Not to mention it releases faster than organic fertilizer so you get quicker results.  I use it on everything from houseplants to bushes to vegetables.

Answer 7

It's technically "safe" but you're still ingesting grocery store-type chemicals! If you want the growing power of Miracle Gro without the fear of chemicals, try planting in Miracle Gro organic soil. I love its consistency (heavy and dense), the price is only a little more than regular potting soil, and my vegetables last year and this year have been fantastic.

Answer 8

You bet!!  I wish I could find some here in Germany,

Answer 9

yes just wash the fruit. its as safe as all the other cemicals they normally put on fruit at the store it is perfectly fine
