Killed all my fig trees.
Absolutely terrible. It burned all my fig tree roots, killing 30/32 plants. The soil was infested with tiny worms that hatched in my fig trees. I would NOT recommend. Save your money and stick to the basic fertilizer.

Katie, we are sorry to hear of what happened. Insects could not survive the composting and packing process. However, it is possible for them to enter the bag during shipping and storage. Scotts_Hawthorne

    Waaay overpriced. It's just some 5-5-5 with a fancy label and lots of hype. Just buy some generic all purpose stuff for half the price or less. Nothing magic about this - it's just ordinary all-purpose fertilizer in a fancy bag.

      Great magical fertilizer
      Within the first week I saw a marked change in the color of my plants, and when they started to flower there were at least double the flower stalks and the flowers were much larger. This is great!

        No Miss - Got everything in it
        re-potted one of the house orchids to give this a try - which is a little risky as these plants are sensitive. However, lit the title, read the ingredients list and it's got everything imaginable in the bag and hopefully, it's a no miss situation. . No smell, which is kind of nice since the orchids tend to stay indoors . I've got an outdoor planter box which I will use this and mix it in . Always happy to have the additional help of fertilizers.

        Soaked up nutrients literally overnight
        I had some struggling high value plants that needed to be transferred from a hydro system to a pot. I used this while transplanting. 1 week later the plants color and overall health has improved 10 fold! I highly recommend this plant food. Very surprised to find this type of food at a Home Depot. I will be back to purchase other Black Magic items.

        Awesome plant food!
        Great product, my herbs and flowers seemed to soak this stuff up practically overnight. They loved it. I have tried a variety of fertilizers and cant recall ever seeing an actual noticeable difference. Looking forward to using more of this plant food throughout the season. Definitely worth it
