📘 Comprehensive Guide: How to Use Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer

✅ Understanding the NPK Ratio: 3-10-10

Each nutrient plays a key role in your garden's performance:

• Nitrogen (3%) – Supports leafy growth and overall plant vigor

• Phosphorus (10%) – Drives strong root development and energy transfer

• Potassium (10%) – Improves water regulation and strengthens resistance to stress and disease

This formula is ideal for root crops and below-ground vegetables that demand heavy phosphorus and potassium during their developmental stage.
