Garden Fertilizer

Feed once weekly through the growing season, dosing by plant size: 1 Tbs (15mL) per gallon of water for plants under 12", 2 Tbs (30mL) per gallon for anything taller. A hose end sprayer set to those rates covers beds quickly, and optional leaf misting is 1 tsp per quart every 1-2 weeks. Weekly at a moderate rate suits gardens better than occasional heavy feeding.

At 1 tsp per quart, the 8 oz bottle makes about 48 watering cans of feed. For a typical shelf of 10–15 plants fed every 1–2 weeks in season, that's several months of feeding — and the 32 oz bottle four times that.

For a mixed home garden, yes — the potassium-forward balance suits fruiting crops, root crops, and flowers, while 3.6% nitrogen carries greens and herbs without overdoing it. The size-based dosing is what makes it practical: a lettuce and a caged tomato get different amounts from the same bottle. Acid-lovers like blueberries are the main exception; they need a formula built for low pH.

Different strength and different balance. A 10-10-10 is a concentrate with equal thirds — more nutrient per ounce, dosed by area. This runs lower and potassium-forward, dosed by plant size and applied weekly, which suits gardeners who water regularly and want steady feeding with wide margin for error. It also carries calcium, magnesium, and a fuller micronutrient set that the 10-10-10 doesn't.

Yes — it supplies the same minerals crops draw from any garden soil. Follow the label rate, avoid contact with skin and eyes when mixing, and wash produce before eating as you normally would. If you use the optional leaf misting, apply it earlier in the growth cycle rather than right before harvest so rinsing is simple. Not for human or animal consumption from the bottle.

That's blossom-end rot, and it's a watering problem more than a fertilizer one. Calcium can't reach developing fruit when soil moisture swings between soaked and bone dry — the plant may have plenty of calcium available and still show it. Water consistently and mulch to even out moisture. This formula's 2.1% calcium supports supply, but consistent watering is what actually delivers it.

All the nitrogen is nitrate, absorbed directly by roots, so it starts working with the first watering — expect deeper green and faster growth within 1-2 weeks. The results that matter in a garden take longer: better fruit set, sizing, and sustained production build over 3-5 weeks of weekly feeding, with the biggest difference showing in midsummer when unfed gardens typically start to fade.
