Is it available in Spain and if so where from?
many thanks.

I used to swear by it in UK, but couldn't find it here. I eventually bought some whilst we were on holiday in France, but to be honest, I was disappointed with results. There's a plant food here called "one" which is absolutely brilliant. It was recommended to me by a Spanish man with a lovely garden, and I've had really good flowering after using it

We always used 20-20-20 and also chicken manure pellets.

Katy is quite right.

Don't waste your money on these little bottles of "Miracle" fertilisers. They all contain the same basic chemicals that the commercial growers use.

I buy 25kg of basic granular fertiliser for €15 - if you want to waste money on miracle potions go ahead. All they are are the same thing in smaller packages.

Miracle grow is a foliar feed , and Very Fast acting ...the problem in Spain is the sun is too hot and it burns the leaves unless you apply on an overcast day

You can buy it at Morisons in Gibraltar, or on line...But postage makes it expensive .

I would only use "One" on pots, but it is very impressive compared to others I have tried. On the garden, just lob the blue balls around.

Garden La Palma stock it. Haven't seen it in Leroy's but there again, I haven't looked for it. It's made by a company called Valagro but their website doesn't seem to list stockists
