Default Is this good compost for my flower garden?

I bought 6 bags of compost, it contains peat, compost, and loam. its npk rating is 0.02 - 0.03 - 0.02. i usually use miracle grow once every 1 or 2 weeks. and also it has calcium 0.15, magnesium 0.08, and sulphur 0.037. its 100 % organic also does this sound good? thanks in advance!

It might be ok. I, however, just use organic compost.

Also, there's nothing organic about miracle grow. It's quite the opposite, and is bad for the soil.

i wouldn't use that... nitrogen just kills everything and it is full of it... stings the plant.. i was told to use 20 part of compost to 80 percent top soil or soil prep... but then again, i just realized you said compost not meneur... i still would mix it at least half and have with the above... just to be safe..
