The plant in the pot is the same, planted at the same time. It is potted in miracle grow's "garden soil". Wow... you'd think if you were going to spend money on something then maybe it would be... worth something? Look at my own dirt, without any fancy soil testing or balancing, just a little bone meal and/or balanced fertilizer. Even without precisely correct micronutrients its just blowing away the name brand store bought product.

How many people waste their money thinking they are buying something that has reasonable value when really theyre buying something that has almost none.

Anyhow, this is why I believe they would sell a shoddy product. Because thats what they do...

Edit/Addendum: Ok, so I thought about it, maybe its not a bad product but for the average person its a confusing product. I think you're supposed to buy two products and combine them. One, is the dirt. The other is the fertilizer. I'm confused by that. My mom was confused by that, she helped start these plants (that gets into a whole other story). Anyhow, I think the only person who is not confused is whoever is doubling the amount of money it takes to have a successful garden by separating the dirt from the fertilizer, lol. I dont think it says explicitly in big letters on the package that you must add fertilizer to their dirt for it to give anything close to good results. But actually it probably does say that in some roundabout, small-print way. Only idiots like me or my mom (she's plenty sharp, really) end up with poor results lol.
