Why I Kept Buying Scotts Flower & Vegetable Plant Food

I did not choose Scotts All Purpose Flower & Vegetable plant food because I compared twenty fertilizer labels.

A guy selling plants at a local flea market recommended it to me.

#ad

The product in my Amazon history is Scotts All Purpose Flower & Vegetable Continuous Release Plant Food. I bought it repeatedly over several years.

My short version: the recommendation came from someone who told me he was a master gardener through Penn State Extension. I tried the product, kept using it, and the conversation also sent me toward Penn State Extension’s gardening information, which I still read.

The recommendation mattered more than the packaging

The seller was talking with me about how he became a master gardener through Penn State Extension. I never signed up for the program myself, but I did check out the Extension site afterward and still read their email newsletters.

That is how this product entered my gardening routine: not because of an ad, but because somebody who knew plants told me what he used.

Why the repeat purchases matter

My Amazon history shows multiple purchases over several years. I think that says more about my experience than pretending I measured some dramatic before-and-after result.

I used it, was satisfied enough to keep using it, and bought it again.

For watering and feeding around the yard, I have also used the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder. That is a different delivery system, but both fit the same practical goal: making plant care easier enough that I actually keep up with it.

Would I buy it again?

Yes. I already did, several times. I would still follow the current label directions rather than treating my repeat purchases as a universal recipe for every plant.
