How to Apply Old Cobblers Farm™ Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Perennials

Whether you're tending to flower borders or large garden beds, this guide will help you achieve healthy, thriving plants all season long.

Understanding the NPK Ratio: 5-10-10

This fertilizer blend is designed to fuel flowers and roots without over-promoting foliage:

• Nitrogen (5%) – Supports green foliage without encouraging excessive leafy growth.

• Phosphorus (10%) – Powers flower development and strengthens root systems.

• Potassium (10%) – Enhances overall plant resilience and drought tolerance.

When to Apply

• Seasonal Timing: Apply during late spring to early summer, just as your perennials enter their bloom cycle or approach peak flowering.

• Frequency: A single mid-season application supports extended blooming. In nutrient-depleted soils, consider reapplying after 6–8 weeks.

Application Instructions

Garden Beds (Granular Form)

• Rate: Apply 1 to 2 pounds per 100 square feet.

• Spread: Evenly scatter around plant bases, keeping a few inches away from the stems.

• Incorporate: Rake lightly into the topsoil.

• Watering: Water thoroughly after application to activate the nutrients.

Containers or Border Plantings (Liquid Form)

• Mix: Dilute 1 tablespoon of fertilizer per gallon of water.

• Apply: Drench soil around plant bases using a watering can or sprayer. For foliar feeding, avoid applying in direct sun.

Best Conditions for Use

• Ideal Soil Temperature: 50°F to 65°F (10°C to 18°C) is optimal for root activity and nutrient uptake.

• Moisture Level: Apply to moist soil and avoid fertilizing during drought stress or before heavy rain.

Garden Safety & Plant Care Tips

• Wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling fertilizer.

• Avoid fertilizing too close to plant stems to prevent burn.
