'sewer-sludge' is an outstanding soil additive ... 'Kellogg's Amend' is primarily 'sewer sludge' and rice hulls, grew the best tomato crop I ever had, in a 100% mixture of it ... I don't use it with my pot plants, using something else, but oh well ... the only thing 'wrong' with Miracle-Gro Soil is people's inability to READ the label ... having nitrogen already added in a time-release form, newbies add even more fertilizer, then can't understand why their plants are sick ... read the labels on your 'organic' products, and you will usually see natural minerals for their nutrient sources ... nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, etc., are IN-organic minerals, remember ... does it really matter if the potassium comes from birdshit, or potash mined from the ground ??? ... just another way of looking at things ... :jointsmile:
