    • An excellent, well-balanced fertilizer, rich in natural organic nutrients for year-round growing.
    • Organic matter is very important in providing a conducive environment and the necessary nutrients for the natural microbial activity in the soil.
    • The organic content breaks down slowly over time reducing the potential to burn plant roots, while producing long-term nutrient feeding. Organic matter also enhances the water & nutrient holding capacity of the soil.
    • This unique formulation results in long-term feeding which produces optimum results for abundant and beautiful flowers, vegetables and fruit, as well as green, healthy lawns & shrubs.
