The expert films a customer placing a Miracle-Gro sack of fertilizer onto their trolley. “Don’t do it,” the TikToker urges. But the happy customer heads to check out with his new bag of fertilizer.

What’s the issue? Miracle-Gro is one of the most popular brands among home gardeners and often tops review lists. However, for $8.47, the Miracle-Gro garden soil is a “contaminating your soil, microbes, and worm” problem, according to the TikToker.

He records the bright and colorful plants in the garden center of Home Depot. Their beauty is all because of the synthetics inside Miracle-Gro, the expert says. The urea and ammonia phosphates make up the ingredients inside that fertilizer.

“Consumers aren’t educated,” he states. Then he shows a bag of the Kellogg organix fertilizer. “So f you’re gonna buy a fertilizer, always stick with all organic. And make sure that it’s listed as Omri.

With over 64,000 views, the expert’s TikTok had several divided opinions. Some users thanked the TikToker for the PSA, while others called him out.
