Know before you buy
Blossom end rot is typically caused by a calcium deficiency in the plant. This formula includes a targeted blend of calcium and phosphorus to ensure your tomatoes have the necessary nutrients to develop strong cell walls and healthy fruit.
While specifically formulated for the nutritional needs of tomatoes, the organic-based ingredients like mushroom compost and alfalfa meal are beneficial for many garden vegetables. However, for best results, it is designed to optimize the specific growth cycle and flavor profile of tomato plants.
The mushroom compost fraction acts as a soil conditioner that improves the soil's ability to hold water and nutrients. This ensures that the plant has consistent access to the fertilizer's minerals throughout the growing season.
No, the formula uses natural nitrogen sources like alfalfa and soybean meal rather than synthetic alternatives. This provides a slow-release, balanced nitrogen supply that encourages healthy plant structure and fruit production rather than excessive, leafy growth.
For optimal results, follow the application rates on the bucket label, typically starting at planting and continuing throughout the growing season. Because it is an organic-based fertilizer, it works best when incorporated into the soil around the root zone.
