8-1-1. 25 lb covers 2,500 sq ft. A patented biologically enhanced fertilizer comprised of corn gluten meal, steamed bone meal, sulfate of potash and a select array of beneficial soil bacteria. Addresses both soil health and plant nutrition. Simultaneously feeds soil and turf. The microbial component (beneficial soil bacteria) increases the biological activity in the soil profile and provides a foundation for healthy turf growth. Corn gluten, bone meal and sulfate of potash provides turf with a natural & organic source of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
BENEFITS SUPPLIED BY SOIL BACTERIA - Provide turf with increased resistance to environmental extremes (drought, temperature. extremes, foot traffic)
- Improve nutrient availability, they free up insoluble soil elements and make them plant available (phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc)
- Reduce the incidence of nutrient leaching
- Improve soil structure over time / Increase humus levels in soil profile
- Expedite the breakdown of the corn gluten making it plant available within 2 weeks
- Promotes healthy soil conditions and improves biological activity
BENEFITS SUPPLIED BY NUTRIENT SOURCES - Provides a slow release source of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (no growth surges)
- Lasts 12-16 weeks depending on soil environment and soil type
- Corn Gluten is a great food source for microbes (synergistic with bacteria)
- Nitrogen does not readily leach from soil (in the form of ammonium not nitrate)
