📘 Maximize Your Garden’s Potential

Understanding the NPK Ratio: 5-10-15

This specialized formula supports:

  • 5% Nitrogen (N): Stimulates leafy growth without excessive foliage

  • 10% Phosphorus (P): Strengthens root systems and prepares plants for flower and fruit production

  • 15% Potassium (K): Increases disease resistance, enhances drought tolerance, and improves fruit quality

This blend is ideal for post-harvest application, delivering long-lasting soil enrichment that feeds your plants into the next season.

🕒 When & How to Apply

📅 Best Seasonal Timing

  • Apply in late summer to early fall, after harvest and before the ground freezes

  • This gives plants time to absorb nutrients and strengthen for overwintering and spring regrowth

🌡️ Optimal Soil Temperature

  • Soil should be between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C) to ensure efficient nutrient uptake

🛠️ Application Instructions

For Pre-Planting Soil Conditioning

  • Rate: 2–3 lbs per 100 sq ft

  • How: Incorporate into the top 6–8 inches of soil to prep for spring planting

For Established Plants

  • Rate: 1 lb per 100 sq ft

  • How: Side-dress in a band about 6 inches away from the base of plants

  • Frequency: Every 4–6 weeks during late-season growth

For Containers

  • Rate: 1 tbsp per gallon of soil

  • How: Mix into the top layer and water thoroughly

💧 Watering

Always water deeply after application to activate nutrients and promote absorption

🧪 Gardening Tips for Success

  • Soil Testing: Tailor application to actual nutrient needs for best results

  • Add Organic Matter: Complement with compost to improve structure and long-term fertility

  • Avoid Overfeeding: Watch for signs of nutrient imbalance (e.g., leaf burn, weak stems)

  • Safe Handling: Use gloves and store fertilizer away from children and pets
