🧪 Understanding the NPK Ratio: 8-4-12
| Nutrient | Function |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen (8%) | Stimulates lush foliage and early-season growth |
| Phosphorus (4%) | Promotes deep root formation and flowering |
| Potassium (12%) | Enhances fruiting, drought resistance, and plant strength |
This formula is ideal for warm-weather, fruiting crops that need root stability and resilience heading into hotter, drier months.
📅 When & How to Apply
📌 Best Timing:
Apply in early spring, just as soil warms (around 60°F / 15°C), to fuel initial growth and prepare plants for fruiting season.
🧰 Application Method:
| Area / Plant Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Raised Beds | 1–2 lbs per 100 sq ft |
| Individual Plants | ½–1 cup per plant |
| Containers | 1 tablespoon per gallon of potting soil |
Test Soil (Optional): A soil test can fine-tune your dosage.
Pre-Moisten Soil: Ensure beds or containers are moist to prevent fertilizer burn.
Broadcast or Spot Apply: Distribute evenly and mix gently into top 2–3 inches of soil.
Water Thoroughly: Soak the area post-application to activate nutrient release.
🔁 Frequency:
Reapply every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season, adjusting as needed based on plant health and local climate.
🌡 Soil & Seasonal Tips
Ideal Soil Temp: 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C)
Use in Well-Drained Beds: Raised beds can leach nutrients faster—this high-potassium mix helps maintain health under dry conditions.
Avoid Midday Application: Fertilize early morning or late evening to reduce plant stress.
