Miracle-Gro should be the "last" one on your list, in my personal opinion.

Raybo -
I had decided on the Miracle-gro based on the readings Ive done in Al's threads at the other board. I wanted to give the 3:1:2 idea a try. Maybe I'll try half the plants one way, half the other. I just had disappointing results my second year vs. the first. Could have been the weather too. It was wet and cold most of the summer.

But there's still tons of time for me before plant-out in my area, so I may change my mind some more. I'm just getting excited to start growing and have been reading a ton.
