Does anyone know what exactly is in the Burlap that you put on the top of the dirt? I bought the organic fertilizer but what is in the Burlap?

I just cut the biodegradable plastic where the fertilizer is(under burlap) and threw that in the GARBAGE.stick with just miracle grow poting soil or strictly organic the bulap blanket will help the top from drying out they are worth the money.

Its a blanket with a biodegradable plastic under it containing a sac full of fertilizer I wouldnt use it I never did stick with organic.I also recommend great white mycorrizine works wonders for the roots [its not a fertilizer it is simply microbes to help the plants absorb nutrients] hope this helps good luck

I am not sure. I know you can buy the pack that is on the original box when you get it. I just use organic fertilizer after I use the original. It sure does make the vegetables grow well.

We used a large bag of Mircle-Gro potting soil that we picked up at Costco. I think it took two bag, but I don't remember. I also mixed in some alfala meal, bone meal, blood meal, and manure, that may have been overkill, but it seems to work. The only mistake I made was not realizing that onions don't want all of that fertilizer, and I may need to plant them in another location.

Yeah it's two teaspoons per gallon or two dropper fulls worth comes out same. So I'd recommend a miracle grow outdoor plant food that has a platic mixer that hooks up to your hose, cheapest way to go for the long run if your doing a garden or outdoor house bushes. This is fine for one or two bushes to be fertilized one a month. But will go quick, great for house plants though, and you can try it once and see if you see results. Good Luck Hope I Helped

I bought both because I have a heavily shaded back yard. Back along the back fence it gets no light in the spring and summer. I only put dense shade seed along the back fence and shady nooks everywhere else. Prepped soil as recommended and kept wet for 2 weeks. The shady nooks and the dense both germinated, but the dense was alot slower. Yard is green and thick but the dense is still filling in. I added some miricle grow lawn food to it this weekend. I think the trees are robbing the food Im thinking about feeding it with jonathan green green up this weekend. time will tell.

I was told not to put any fertilizer in it until it had some established roots. About 2 weeks. Then I used very diluted Miracle Grow. they have it especially for these plants on Amazon. I am also in a very hot area. Summer runs about 100 degrees. Winters as low as 2 degrees. I always bring it in during the winter or it will die.

Hi Mabel, I don't have the original bag anymore ( what soil I didn't use at the time I put into a resealable bag) so I can't tell you all the ingredients but I can tell you it feels and smell more like compost than potting soil you get with the little while foam in it. At first I wasn't sure about it but the results have been great, several of my plants had fallen on hard times and a few of them were ready to bite the dust but after a day of mixing old and new soil, cleaning pots,re-potting and placing cuttings in just the straight mix ( not mixed in with the old soil ) I've been VERY HAPPY with the results. Some of my plants have tripled in size in the last 4-5 months and cuttings are as full as their parents and living in a Manhattan apartment that's saying a lot. I hope you find this info helpful. RR

I do have some patches of darker green but have now overseeded it all with Shady Nook and can tell that the blend is going to even out the lighter shades of green. Even if there are still a few darker areas, it is better than brown dirt (to me!). :-)

I made baby diaper cream with it. I got the recipe from a site that is very 'organic' minded and they directed me to amazon to purchase the powder. I would consider it organic but, I can't stake my life on it.

I generally use it as an amendment to my soil and sprinkle a little(tsp or 2) into the hole for all transplants. This year I mixed it with green sand and everything seems very happy.I only use it in the Spring and for starters. Seems to be water soluble, would probably work good in a fertilizer tea.

I never premix any fertilizer.... I mix what I need and use. Hope that helps you.

No dirt. Just the plastic container, a black lift rack for in the bottom, the black tube, the wheels and a crappy garbage-bag-quality cover with alligator clips(and a big rubber band) to hold it on, then a later one arrived with elastic made into the garbage-bag-quality black cover. I discovered the cover causes more mushroom growth than anything and discarded it. I used moisture control potting soil I bought at Lowes with it.

I have planted it in the yard now, and have only used Miracle Grow potting soil around it when I planted it. Haven't fertilized yet.

I saved it, I'm adding a little soil and some fertilizer to it and using it again. I originally used miracle grow soil(it was on sale) and potting soil with a little regular soil mixed in. We'll see how it goes this year. bought 2 more - now have 5 of them. Put them up on plywood on saw horses - so they are higher up - lots of rabbits.

Espoma makes a Garden Soil for outdoor gardening I don't know what the difference is but I do container gardening and it is very good. You also could probably get it a lot cheaper in a store.

You hook it up to a hose just like you would use Miracle Grow fertilizer with a hose. The water mixes with the solution to make the correct mixture.

You put the topper on your mattress then your fitted sheet over it. That's all some people do. For additional protection from soiling, if desired, you could put another sheet between the topper and your fitted sheet. - from Yes It's Organic

That is what I have understood about the term organic. Also, natural composting to boost soil rather than store fertilizer. I would contact the company directly before taking advice from a stranger.
