I've had pretty good luck with it, been using it this year on everything in the yard. It works in a pinch if you're feeling lazy.

I've always said that organic gardening will catch on once it's as easy to go organic as it is to garden normally, and I definitely think products like this have a place and are superior to chemical fertilizers. Now, organic purists may cry out that there are superior ways to do things (and I won't argue that) but this is a good second place alternative that I have found pretty helpful.
