I've just transplanted a lavender into my garden. ...
I put half a bag of miracle grow under its roots.

If you mean the blue coloured miracle grow powder, which you are
supposed to
mix with water, then please dig up the plant and wash the miracle grow
away....

That's a bit annoying Chris: you give no reason for that. I have no
feelings one way or the other about MiracleGro, and have never used it
myself, but it's useful to know the reasons for others' prejudices!

Well I use Miracle Gro extensively but I would never put half a bag under
any plant. Perhaps Chris was kindly pointing out it might not be good for
it?

My basil plant is the best it has every been since using Miracle Gro, dark
glossy leaves and full rich flavour and scent.

(I'm reading this thread on lavender with great interest.)

Me too I just bought a lavender plant and it I am learning about it
