                            A:  Miracle-Gro Shake'n Feed All Purpose Plant Food is not water soluble and can not be used in the Miracle-Gro Next Generation Garden Feeder.

                              A:  I have used this product, but not in the manner you suggest. I don't think it would work because the Shake'N Feed are slow release granule's made to release their effect when the plant is watered or when it rains. In a garden hose spray applicator they would release their chemicals in a slow manner which may be too much water to get any effect the plant can use. A better way would be to distribute the granules among your plants and they water them with the hose.

                              A:  This product is granulated and is meant to be sprinkled over a plant as you would salt on food. There are liquid products by Miracle-gor designed for what you want to do and sold by H D.

                              A:  The shake & release is a slow release granular product. I don’t think that’s the same kind of product that you put in the Miracle grow applicator. I think the Miracle grow applicator uses a more soluble product.
