Today I would like to introduce you to the product called Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix by the great folks over at Miracle-Gro. With the Expand 'n Gro you get these great benefits when using it in your vegetable gardens, flower gardens or just for regular plants and bushes:

* Up to 3X the vegetables and flowers (as compared to your native soil)
* Helps to improve your soil for several years
* Concentrated planting mix that expands up to 3X when mixed with water so it will go a long way.
* Feeds your plants for up to 6 months!
* The natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than regular potting soil. (love that!).

The Expand 'n Gro by Miracle-Gro is available for purchase at lawn and garden stores in the Midwest, Northeast and Texas. I am going to go out and see if I can find it here in Pennsylvania as my backyard garden needs some serious help this year. You can also find this fabulous product at Amazon.com.

Every year we plant a nice sized garden in our backyard and I always plant zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, chili peppers, squash, lima beans, peas, sunflowers, pumpkins, lettuce and a few herbs. Last summer our garden didn't do too well which really shocked us as it has always done well in the past. This year I am determined to have a nice backyard garden again and I think the Expand 'n Gro could really help improve our soil which would improve our plants and give us a nicer and bigger harvest.

How would you like to receive a FREE sample of the new Miracle-Gro Expand 'n Gro? Just head on over to their web site to learn more about it and request a free sample. I would love for you to leave a comment here on my blog telling me what you grow in your garden and how you think Miracle-Gro Expand 'n Gro could help your garden?

What really interests me about this product is that it can be used in the ground or if you have plants that are in containers, you can also use it for container gardening or in your house plant's soil. The product is a natural blend of the famous Miracle-Gro plant food that has been combined with Coir, an all-natural coconut fim really looking forward to getting this product into my hands and into my vegetable garden this year. I will make another blog post during the summer to let you all know what kind of results I got with the product since I am being sent a free sample of it. Please feel free to leave me a few comments about your gardening habits and tips as well as your thoughts about this new product and/or any of the Miracel-Gro products.
