It also nourishes and thickens lawns to prevent future weed growth. Recommended for application when weeds are actively growing and temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F, it requires wet grass for optimal adherence. Suitable for various grass types like Bermudagrass and Fescue, but not for Creeping Bentgrass or St. Augustinegrass. It comes in an 11.32 lb. bag covering 4,000 sq. ft., with specific spreader settings for application. The product is phosphorus-free with a fertilizer analysis of 28-0-3, suitable for established lawns and small areas.

Miracle-Gro Moisture Control All Purpose Potting Mix 2 cu ft
This potting mix is designed to protect plants from over and under-watering, feeding them for up to 6 months and promoting growth to twice their size compared to unfed plants. Its exclusive AquaCoir Formula absorbs up to 33% more water than basic potting soil. Suitable for all types of outdoor container plants, including flowers, shrubs, and vegetables, it is recommended to use a pot with a drainage hole, filling it about one-third full with the mix before adding the plant and more soil. A 2 cu. ft. bag can fill two 14-inch containers, and repotting annually is suggested to avoid soil compaction.
“Miracle-Gro’s Moisture Control Potting Mix is essential for anyone looking to ensure their potted plants thrive,” Hutchens says. “It’s a must-have for gardeners aiming for robust growth and vibrant blooms.”

Effective results are achieved best in warm, sunny weather above 60°F, and the product becomes rainproof in 30 minutes.
