📘 Application Guide: Ground Vegetables Next-Season Strengthener

Understanding the NPK Ratio: 5-5-10

  • 5% Nitrogen (N) – Supports leafy green growth and healthy foliage

  • 5% Phosphorus (P) – Encourages deep, well-developed root systems

  • 10% Potassium (K) – Increases plant resilience, boosts flowering and fruit quality, and improves drought and disease resistance

This blend is perfect for end-of-season feeding to boost plant health before dormancy.
