Key Benefits

• Targeted Nutrition: The 5-10-15 NPK ratio supports moderate foliage growth (nitrogen), strong root development and flower production (phosphorus), and enhanced fruit quality with disease resistance (potassium).
• Heavy Feeders: Tailored for nutrient-demanding plants like tomatoes and berries, promoting vigorous growth and high yields.
• Next-Season Prep: Applied in late summer to early fall, it strengthens plants during dormancy for a strong spring start.

Application Guidelines

When to Apply

• Apply in late summer to early fall, after fruiting or as plants prepare for dormancy.
• Ensure soil temperatures are between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C) for optimal nutrient uptake.
• For early spring or late winter, use as an initial application to kickstart growth; reapply lightly in late season if needed.

How to Apply

• Application Rate:
  • Container Plants: Use 1 tablespoon (15 grams) per gallon of soil, mixed into the top 1–2 inches.
  • Ground-Planted Berries: Apply 1 cup (8 ounces) per mature bush, spread evenly around the base, several inches from the stem.
• Method:
  • Broadcasting: Evenly distribute fertilizer around the plant base, avoiding stem contact to prevent burn.
  • Incorporation: Lightly work into the top 1–2 inches of soil for in-ground plants or gently mix into potting soil.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after application to dissolve nutrients and promote root uptake.
• Frequency:
  • Early Spring/Late Winter: Initial application for new growth.
  • Late Spring/Early Summer: Optional mid-season reapplication (1/2 to 1 cup per bush) based on plant health.
  • Late Summer/Early Fall: Apply a lighter dose (half the early season rate) to avoid overstimulating growth before dormancy.

Tips for Success

• Soil Temperature: Maintain 60°F–70°F for effective nutrient absorption and root development.
• Timing: Apply in late summer/early fall to strengthen plants for the next season.
• Soil Testing: Conduct a soil test to tailor application rates and avoid over-fertilization.
• Watering: Ensure consistent moisture after application to aid nutrient uptake and prevent root burn.
• Safety: Wear gloves and a mask if sensitive to dust; wash hands after use. Store in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets.
• Monitoring: Watch for signs of nutrient deficiency (e.g., yellowing leaves) or excess (e.g., leaf burn) and adjust as needed.
