Does it have fertilizer in it? If it does, look at the fertilizer
ratio, the N-P-K numbers. Compare them to what is recommended for
your crop(s). If the mix is highest in N, it won't be best for
veggies for which you want flowers and fruit--squash, eggplant, corn,
tomatoes, etc. High P is what you want for that, and if the potting
mix is for flowering plants, it will likely be highest in P and
probably fine for starters. A high N would be good for leafy
things--spinach, kale, lettuce, chard, and so on. Also, even if the
balance is right, the quantities in the mix might not be enough for a
heavy-feeding crop and you might need more fertilizer later on.

If it doesn't have fertilizer and it's just Miracle-gro brand, it
ought to be fine; you'll just have to add fertilizer.

I am at a quandary whether this potting mix is good for vegetables. Nowhere in
the bag does it say it is for veggies but nowhere does it say it isn't. Any
ideas? The picture on the bag shows only flowers.
