When I connect up the miracle-gro feeder and turn on the water supply,
water pours out of the handle and when I press the trigger, very
little appears at the business end whilst there continues to be a
flood from the handle. I've opened up the structure and can see
nothing obvious that is out of place.

I returned the feeder to the store and got a replacement - it does
exactly the same thing.

Anyone else seen this?

It's not only me then! I thought I was doing something wrong but the
same thing happens when I try to use my Dad's feeder too. I will try
turning it on full blast next time but its raining at the moment, if
not I will resort back to the watering cans!!

Mine also leaked badly which I thought at first was due to low pressure ( as warned on the packet).Turned up the tap so far that the pressure was enough to blow the hose off the end yet the damn thing still leaked
After the fourth soaking..I gave up and the item is now in small pieces across the patio!
