Ground Vegetables Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Root Crops

🌱 Ground Vegetables Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Root Crops (3-10-10)

Fuel deep growth when it matters most.
Specially crafted for mid-season support, the Ground Vegetables Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer for Root Crops features a targeted 3-10-10 NPK ratio. This high-phosphorus, high-potassium blend is optimized for deep root development, tuber expansion, and stronger plant health—ideal for carrots, beets, potatoes, radishes, and more.

📘 Understanding the 3-10-10 NPK Ratio

• 3% Nitrogen (N): Supports moderate foliage without diverting energy away from root development

• 10% Phosphorus (P): Promotes strong, expansive root systems and healthy flower development

• 10% Potassium (K): Enhances stress resistance, disease tolerance, and water regulation

This low-nitrogen mix is perfect for root-focused crops, especially during mid to late season when plants are past early leafing and focused on energy storage below ground.

🕒 When to Apply

• Mid-Season Application – Ideal 4–6 weeks after planting, during active vegetative/root growth

• Spring Crops – Apply late spring to early summer

• Fall Crops – Apply mid to late October, before the first frost (where applicable)

🛠️ How to Apply

✅ General Garden Use

• Method:

  • Broadcast evenly over the soil surface

  • Lightly work into the top 1 inch of soil with a rake or hoe

🌡️ Ideal Soil Temperature & Seasonal Notes

• Root crops flourish between 45°F–75°F (7°C–24°C)

  • Carrots: 55–75°F

  • Radishes: 45–65°F

  • Turnips: 50–70°F

  • Beets: 55–75°F

For maximum benefit, pair this application with proper irrigation and avoid extreme heat or water stress during the uptake window.
