Product Description:
Old Cobblers Farm™ Container Fruit Fertilizer for Heavy Feeders is a balanced 14-14-14 NPK slow-release formula designed to deliver consistent, long-lasting nutrients to container-grown fruiting plants. With equal parts Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), this fertilizer supports lush vegetative growth, strong root systems, and vigorous fruit production, especially for plants with high feeding demands.
