Miracle Gro or no?

 

 

Scott's Miracle Gro is a synthetic fertilizer and harmful to worms and natural soil microbes. There's quite a controversy in the garden blogging world about using it.  

 


I never pour it on the ground, but I do fertilize the flower pots with Miracle Gro. It gives annuals a tremendous (yes, completely unnatural) boost of chemical nutrients so they keep blooming like crazy.  See petunias above. 

Well, a bit of rain yesterday freshened things up outside. But I was on a roll inside with some overdue housecleaning projects. Since I'm into product recommendation mode this morning, here's one: Swiffer wet cloths for wood floors. 

I never met a Swiffer product I didn't like. Who misses rags and mops?
