Ground Vegetables Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Light Feeders

🌿 Ground Vegetables Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Light Feeders (4-6-4)

Give your garden a gentle but essential push during peak growth.
The Ground Vegetables Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Light Feeders is a carefully balanced formula with an NPK ratio of 4-6-4, ideal for crops that require modest nutrition but still need a boost during their mid-season development phase. Root vegetables and leafy greens—like carrots, beets, and spinach—benefit from the extra phosphorus and potassium to strengthen root systems, support flowering, and improve plant resilience.

📘 Why 4-6-4? Understanding the NPK Benefits

• 4% Nitrogen (N): Promotes healthy, vibrant foliage without overstimulating top growth

• 6% Phosphorus (P): Encourages deep root formation and supports flowering

• 4% Potassium (K): Improves stress tolerance, overall plant vigor, and disease resistance

This ratio is ideal for light feeders that require balanced but not overly aggressive fertilization.
