i was recently given some plants that were grown with miracle grow? is there anyway to purge it out of the plants?
Miracle-Gro and any other fertilizer is fine, as long as the tortoise does not have direct access to the raw product. All plants need fertilizers to live and grow. Once the fertilizer is assimilated into the plants tissues it is fine for the tortoises to eat.
What must be avoided are the "weed n feed" types that contain herbicides, or the types that claim "insect control" and contain pesticides.
Plain old fertilizer is fine, just don't let the tortoise eat or drink actual fertilizer.
Totally fine. I've been doing it for years.
Just read the label and make sure it is just plain fertilizer without any "extra" stuff added.
I would not offer any item for food that has been treated with any fertilizer....nor would I offer a tort (nor human) any produce that is not organic....fertilizer is not all natural as some folks believe....just sharing the other side here...
how would you grow with using fertlizer then?
I'm not very plant smart and don't have much of a green thumb lol
(not just 'water and sun')
I disagree
tomatoes or melons.
LOL.. the rabbits/squirrels/birds/ants/beetles and any other wild desert creatures would love it if I grew these here, the only fruit that can be grown here successfully without being totally looted or totally guarded, are the cactus fruits....
