Busy Biz Blogs: Bye Bye Black Thumb

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've mentioned before that I suffer from a black thumb. I have a tendency to kill anything I try to grow. Well I made a resolution to ban that black thumb once and for all. I have had a desire to grow my own produce for years now, but we have never really lived in the proper environment (i.e. apartments) for doing so. This year, however, we are in a house! I believe that I could technically have Bud build me a garden bed and I could dive in and try to plant a little of everything, but then what if I just killed it all?! Instead I'm going to take baby steps. I recently discovered my unopened tomato planter (the kind where the tomatoes grow down). It was my inspiration. This spring/summer I am taking on tomatoes! If only that was the only decision I had to make in order to ban my black thumb. Finding the perfect spot on the porch, developing a watering schedule, choosing the kind of soil and fertilizer I would use....

Well fortunately I don't need to look to hard for a good soil and fertilizer! Expand ‘n Gro™ can help make my garden grow big and green and beautiful! Seeing as how I am taking baby steps with gardening, the last thing I want to do is run to the store and buy a LOT of BIG bags of product. Fortunately with Expand 'n Gro it's all right there in one bag and the best part is that when mixed with water it expands up to 3x it's size and can feed my plants for up to 6 months! Also since the Expand 'n Gro retains over 50% more water than regular potting soil I don't have to stress as much about over or under watering my tomatoes (I notoriously over water plants!)

The awesome thing about Miracle-Grow Expand 'n Gro is that it offers all of the following benefits:

1.) Up to 3x flowers and vegetables! *verses native soil (which I have no doubt will work as it seems that around here it's hard to grow anything in the ground!

2.)Significantly improves the soil for a number of years...this means that if I transfer my tomatoes to a spot in the back yard and continue to use Expand 'n Gro I'm actually making the soil better!

3.) All natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting soil.

4.) Not to mention it's an easy way to prep your garden for spring and summer planting!

If you are new to gardening this might be just the product for you, however, if you are a pro this might be just what you need to get the results you've been working years to achieve!
