Thanks. I didn't think this was an organic-growers-only
list, actually. If it is, someone should tell me, please.

Did I say I'm using Miracle Grow in particular? How did
that product get mentioned?

Maybe I said it, but if so it was a mistake: I just went
and looked at the bottle of stuff I use on the seedlings and
on houseplants: It's houseplant food by Peters.

I might have used 'Miracle Grow' as shorthand for 'any
balanced liquid plant food'. This is possible. I detest
Monsanto and Scott's also.
