Couple Of Weeks Ago I Planted My Flowers In My Flower Pots Using Miracle Grow With Continue Fertilizer In It That Suspose To Last For 3 Months My Question Is Can I Start Using Liquid Miracle Grow On The Plants Besides What's In The Potting Soil. I Am Not Sure The Continue Fertilizer That's In The Soil Is All That Good And Will Do Its Job. I Don't Want To Over Fertilize And Burn My Plants. Thank You.

The stuff you used is called slow release and should be good for the whole season, so you don't need to remember to fertilize. If you want to use additional Miracle Gro I assume you are mixing it with the water you are giving your plants that would be OK I would mix it half strength. If your plants don't need that much you will just be wasting it (wasting money) because when the water, you know, runs out the bottom of the pot it will be carrying extra fertilizer dissoved in it. Maybe you could stand the pots on a saucer then give that to additional plants or shrubs in the garden.
