Welcome to your complete guide for using Raised Beds Herbs Mid-Season Boost Fertilizer. Whether you're managing a small herb patch or a full raised bed garden, this guide will help you apply this 5-5-10 blend for maximum growth and resilience.

✅ NPK Ratio Explained: 5-5-10

• Nitrogen (5%) – Encourages lush green foliage and steady growth.

• Phosphorus (5%) – Stimulates root formation and early flowering.

• Potassium (10%) – Builds drought resistance, strengthens stems, and boosts long-term plant health.

This ratio is ideal for mid-season feeding of herbs exposed to full sun and dry spells.

🕒 When to Apply

• Apply during the middle of the growing season—generally late May to early July in most temperate zones.

• This aligns with peak growth stages, ensuring plants are well-fed when they need it most.

🧪 How to Apply

🪴 For Raised Beds:

• Apply: 1 to 2 cups per 10 square feet.

• Method: Scatter evenly across the bed, then lightly rake it into the top 1–2 inches of soil.

• Water: Soak thoroughly after application.

🌿 For Individual Plants:

• Use 1 tablespoon per plant.

• Apply around the drip line (not against the stem).

• Water in well to activate the nutrients.

💧 As a Liquid Feed:

• Dissolve 1 tablespoon of fertilizer per gallon of water.

• Apply as a root drench to container plants or focused soil zones.

🌡️ Ideal Soil Conditions

• Soil Temp Range: 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 21°C).
