OK, now tell me what I'm supposd to do with all the squash, cucumbers, beans, tomatoes etc. that are a direct result from using your products. I've been eating, canning and hauling the excess off to a food bank. Even the chickens are getting full. I'm up to my armpits in veggies. I've never seen anything like it.

I decided to try the Spray N Grow fertilizer a few months ago. I found all the mixing and waiting a bit tedious, so I didn't really keep up with it. On the other hand, I decided to try some Gro Brics and I love them! Their customer service department worked a great deal for a large quantity for my landscaping business. It was painless and easy and so nice to talk to reasonable people.
I love their products especially the perfect blend kit. I've been using it for about two years now and it has really made a difference in my veggie garden. I really like how all their stuff is organic. It's nice to know I'm using natural products on produce me and my family are going to be eating. I recently joined the community social network on their site. What a cool idea. It's a great place to share tips, ask questions and see what is working for other gardeners.

I used spray n grow years ago when I lived in Florida,I used it on jalapeno pepper plants,and a Jade plants.
The Jalapenos were really large,and had black streaks in them where the seed membranes were,and they also were extremely hot.
The Jade plants grew into huge beasts,I grew them in 20 gallon red clay pots,at the base the stalks were more like a tree trunk,they measured up to 9 inches across,and plants stood over 5 feet tall,and were 8 feet across.
This is the best product I have found for plants,wether if you grow them in the ground,or like I did in pots,container gardening.
I recently purchased a couple topsy turvy hanging planters,to grow tomatoes in,and I want to use spray n grow on them,I will post some photos of them as they grow and mature.

I really like the ease of use of their perfect blend kits. Ordered the med size kit to try after previously ordering just the spray-n-grow product. Liked the packaging and the quick service. Looking forward to a summer of amazing flowers and veggies!

This company is in my top 10 favorite places to order from. I have placed 2 orders with them so far and have been 100% pleased each time.
My first order was for the small Perfect Blend Kit and a bag of Soil Mender Minerals Plus. The order arrived in about 5 days. I have noticed a great difference in my houseplants, especially my epiphyllums after using the perfect blend. Some epis that I have had for months sprouted new growth in 2-3 days! The soil mender helps my less that stellar soil get all the minerals it is lacking. I have noticed that some of my plants are less yellow and more green. I would recommend both products.
My second order which I received today included more SprayNGrow to mix with the Coco Wet and Bill's Perfect Fertilizer to make the "Magic Blend". I ran out of the SprayNGorw much sooner than the other two. I also ordered a bag of Texas Greensand for my bedding plants.
Their shipping rates are very reasonable, and their customer service is excellent. I will definitely be a customer as long as I garden.

I ordered from this company again, and have again received VERY fast shipping, great packaging, and wonderful products. I ordered 3 Grow Bricks, and John and Bob's Soil Optimizer (6 lb. bag). The grow bricks are really neat to use. The soil optiomizer promises results within weeks/months, so I will have to wait to review that particular product.

My grandmother, who is (by all accounts) an expert gardener, recommended Spray N' Grow to me, as I have recently found a new love in gardening. This product won me over! I recently sprayed my garden with this product, combined with Super-Thrive (a wonderful supplement found at Wal-mart, Amazon.com, etc.) and Miracle Grow, and am astonished with the results.
My 1-year old weeping cherry, hydrangeas, 1-year climbing roses, etc. each have amassed at least a few feet each of new growth since. In fact, EVERYTHING I've sprayed has taken off like gangbusters. The hydrangeas are blooming a month or more earlier than usual. The quality of their new growth is so obvious, as it is much larger and taller than the previous (pre-treatment) new growth. My climbing roses (blue moon, queen elizabeth, and blue lady) alone have rewarded me with DOZENS of new blooms--I would venture to say at least 50 each blooming at a time! My german irises, which looked quite sickly when I received them, are now three to four feet tall and overwhelmed with large, gorgeous blooms. All this in poor, clay-heavy soil! It's phenomenal.
One thing I might offer to assist people in their use of this (or any foliar treatment) is the use of a scant amount of baby shampoo or lemon-scented dish-soap (NOT detergent--ensure it is the cheap stuff, without anti-bacterial or bleaching agents) in your sprays. I discovered this amazing secret via Jerry Baker's books (about the best advice I found in these books). It not only acts as a superb wetting agent (thereby assisting your sprays in remaining on the leaves rather than rolling off), but helps to cleanse the foliage of pollutants and debris. I use this in place of the Coco-wet that Spray N Grow offers, as it is MUCH less expensive. The lemon-scented dish soap also offers an extra "bonus" effect of helping to prevent many bug infestations, as most of the typical pests seem to detest the lemon (or any citrus, really) scent. I also like to use it in my Round-up and other foliar treatments. Just a couple of drops is all you need (about a teaspoon per gallon), and add it in after you've added all your other ingredients and the water, so as to not end up with oversudsing.
Happy gardening, and definitely try Spray N Grow, if you haven't yet!
I have been buying Spray N Grow since the 1980's. I used it when I lived in Idaho, Washington State, and Ohio and it works great where ever one happens to live. As long as I garden, I'll use Spray N Grow.
I have ordered from spray-n-grow for their spray-n-grow complete kit for three times in a row b/c of the GREAT results that I have seen. Last summer my plumeria grew 2 ft. in both tips while using the spray-n-grow magic combination; not to mention the blooms!! I recommend them to everyone I talk to about gardening. Plus, it feels good to know that I am using a mix on my plants that will not kill fish in the pond or be a danger to the human water supply (i.e. Rx drugs), and still increasing my plant yield by so much!
I love this stuff. I normally buy it from QVC because we have an account there. It really does make the plants grow bigger. My tomato plants set and harvested 2-3 pound tomatos (burpee supersteak). This is a big variety of tomato but is only expected to grow 1 pounders. I use it on every plant we have. Last year I ran out and didn't order more. I could really tell the difference. The plants were way smaller. I don't use fertilizer, mostly because I'm cheap and it is a hassle. These results were solely Spray N Grow.

I have been using Spray-N-Grow since approx 1989. I feel this product works based on the results I get from my houseplants, bonsai, etc.
I spray this on my Mugo bonsai (they are pines), Jerusalem Cherry, PonyTail Palm, Juniper bonsai, cactus called "Gymnocalycium schickendantzii var. pungens", Variegated Virginia Creeper, Blue Princess Holly etc. I notice all these plants produce better/grow better with Spray-N-Grow.

I have ordered from this company several times. They have great products and wonderful service. The stuff really works! They sent one incorrect product, and when notified, they quickly sent out the right item with a smile.
I was so glad to receive their catalog, because they sell gro-brick, I grow all my plants and cuttings in this, it is really great. I have not used the spray-n-grow yet, just received order. Received my order fast.

I have always been pleased with products I received from this organization but last summer I ordered a battery powered sprayer and was very disappointed. I returned it with a note saying that it was not worthy of being in their catalog and they promptly refunded my money.
Just yesterday I received a package and a note from the owner himself saying he agreed with me (about the sprayer) and he sent me, at no cost, a new, improved sprayer that he thought I might like better.
What a company! You can't go wrong dealing with people like that.

I first ordered Spray & Grow from QVC about a year ago, and have used it ever since. It's one of the few products I've ever used which actually delivers as promised. My blooming plants literally exploded with blooms. My herb plants were absolutely *huge*. I now combine it with Messenger and am almost afraid of the monsters I'm sure to be growing! I credit Spray & Grow for the christmas cactus that bloomed in 3 waves for me this year, and the 4 foot tall rosemary that started out in a 4 inch pot not even 2 years ago. I have since branched out into using Bill's Perfect fertilizer and it has become my fertilizer of choice. I don't like using chemical fertilizers, I prefer natural, and again, Bill's Perfect fertilizer delivers as promised. The website also offers other interesting items for the garden like greensand and bat guano and worm casting teabags. One could end up spending a bundle! I recommend this company highly. The product is wonderful, everything arrives within a week of order, and they're extremely helpful, too.

Great products! I received more compliments on my flowers last season than I ever had in my 10+ years of growing. The only thing I changed was using Spray-n-Grow. The company is very helpful and friendly. Their products are environmentally friendly. A positive experience in every way.
