Vegetable 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 once taller. A hose end sprayer set to those rates covers rows quickly. Weekly at a moderate rate suits vegetables better than occasional heavy feeding, especially in containers where nutrients flush out fast.

Almost always excess nitrogen, often from lawn fertilizer or a high-nitrogen all-purpose feed. Nitrogen tells a plant to make leaves; a tomato only sets fruit when it isn't being pushed to grow. This formula keeps nitrogen at 3.6% and leads with potassium for that reason. Heat above roughly 90°F also causes blossom drop, and no fertilizer overrides a heat wave.

That's blossom-end rot, and it's a watering problem rather than a fertilizer one. Calcium can't move into developing fruit when soil moisture swings between soaked and bone dry — plants often have plenty available and still show it. Water consistently and mulch to even out moisture. The 2.1% calcium here supports supply, but steady watering is what actually delivers it to the fruit.

Yes — the balance is what makes one bottle work across a vegetable garden. Greens draw mainly on nitrogen and respond quickly to the weekly schedule, while carrots, onions, and potatoes lean on potassium and phosphate for sizing underground. Neither gets pushed off course the way a strongly lopsided formula would. For continuously harvested greens, weekly feeding keeps regrowth coming.

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

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 take longer: better flowering, fruit set, and sizing build over 3-5 weeks of weekly feeding, with the clearest difference showing in midsummer when unfed gardens typically start to fade.
