I have recently started a rectangular outdoor garden in front of my house, 19 ft. by 3 ft., in which I have just planted a row of Azalea bushes behind and a row of Impatiens flowers in front. I know that the Azalea bushes require an acid environment. My question is, if I spray the Azalea bushes with MiracleGro fertilizer, will the acid environment do any harm or damage to the growth of the nearby Impatiens plants?

Miracle gro might be a bit of a problem with impatians. I buy plants without any blooms so i can watch them bloom. So the week i furtalized it, and when it was about to bloom, all the buds fell off >.< Sooooooooo ya, Miracle Gro might not be the best choice for Impatians. It might, but i'm pretty sure thats the reason the buds fell off.
