Worth Every Penny!
5 years ago
I bought a bag of this for my roses I wanted to transplant. Within several days of mixing this in the soil after transplanting them, they each produced multiple buds. I sprinkled some on the top soil of all my other plants and they all turned the most beautiful, rich green color I’ve ever seen. To say all of my plants are thriving and living their best lives would be an understatement!

Junk
5 years ago
Complete garbage! Literally, the bags are filled with brown mulch, plastic, and very lillte black balls of worm castings. I found the piece of plastic with the first scoop I took. There are so many sticks i can't even count. Please do yourself a favor and not waste your money on this product. Absolutely garbage!
