Yes, they are. I live in an area with good drainage, sandy soil, but almost NO organic material. I can't afford a truckload of compost, nor can my wife and I produce enough of our own compost from our kitchen and lawn clippings. So, I simply added some decomposed horse manure (free from almost any nearby rancher) and planted my seed potatoes. I fortified the potatoes every 2-3 weeks with Miracle-Gro spray fertilizer (the kind you screw onto the end of your hose) and they grew very well. When I harvested them, I had some misgivings about the amount of minerals they may have absorbed. Not wanting to waste these delightful tubers, I just ate them. I suffered no ill effects and ultimately did some of my own research. What the Miracle-Gro fertilizer contains is just a liquid form of what I would have been adding anyway. I am NOT a Miracle-Gro employee, by the way. I simply farm on a shoestring budget. This stuff works great on the rest of my garden too. No ill effects and its been that way for the past 5 years. I wish I had done my research from the start. The stuff is fine.
