This picture shows a box of mir-acid and miracle grow. the blue box is the mir- acid. I am having a hard time seeing what actually would make this product acid, or at least any more acid than their regular miracle grow. Perhaps they just call it acid because it provides extra iron which is typically the nutrient that’s deficient in higher pH soils. Plants that require acid soils are plants that are called iron inefficient plants. Some iron inefficient plants would include blueberries, camellias, azaleas, petunias etc. If I used miracle grow on my giants I would probably use the mir-acid over the regular miracle grow for my Atlantic giants and watermelons Why?. Because all the micronutrients in the mir-acid are in a chelated (plant available) form. Not so with the straight miracle grow. Where am I wrong?
