Good all purpose fertilizer for everything in your flower garden.

This product was an excellent addition to fertilizer regimen for my summer garden this year. Since I don't have a big yard, I concentrate only on growing veggies in container and hence will be reviewing this product for growing vegetables in containers. Having grown in containers on a very small scale for two subsequent years I realized this year that I wanted to have enough plants this summer such that my gardening was more than just a hobby and I could get some decent quantity of harvest. Container soil with additives is really expensive and it is also a terrible waste to buy fresh soil each season. With that in mind I decided to use my old soil that I have been using for the past two years and also since I was also adding some huge containers to my garden, decided to experiment with using cheap top soil with no additives and adding my own fertilizers and nutrients. Now I never use synthetic chemical fertilizers for my garden because (a) they are notorious for going into your local water bodies as run-offs and gradually but steadily disturbing your local ecosystem and (b) they basically destroy all the beneficial bacteria and fungi that you might have in your soil that keep the soil healthy and promotes healthy growth in plants. In the past I have used all liquid fertilizer that has worked well but the problem with that is that I needed to mix that in watering can every alternate watering and when you have as many plants as I was planning to have that becomes too tedious. So started looking for some combination of solid fertilizers and soil additives that I could add to the soil and essentially forget about for the better part of the season. When I transplanted my seedlings in early summer I used a combination of earthworm castings, Kelp meal and 'Down to earth' Biolive fertilizer which was essentially a mix of marine byproducts mainly crab meal and fish bone meal. I thought this in combination with some bat guano, that I would add later in the summer, would be enough for a nice crop. However even after three weeks of warm weather and bright sun, the seedlings grew very slowly and had started to get pale discolored leaves. Realizing that this could be because of nutrient deficiency and that the down to earth fertilizer was not good enough, I looked for an organic fertilizer that could correct the deficiency and fast. Thats when I found this product and since it promised to deliver fast result I decided to give it a go. Lo and behold, within a week of scratching this product into the top soil all my plants looked as if they had been jolted awake. They started growing greener, bigger leaves and I was happy to see that there were plenty of flower buds also developing on 'adolescent' plants. I will let the pictures speak for themselves but I will say that I am very impressed with this fertilizer. I have fed my plants only twice this season, once with this fertilizer and once with a half and half mixture of this and the Jobe's Rose and Flower fertilizer (this one has a higher potassium content that is needed for flower and fruit development). Yet the harvests have been multiple and plentiful, the fruits are flavorful and this fertilizer has completely surpassed all my expectations. I have already giving away many tomatoes and eggplants to friends and neighbors which is something I never expected to do when gardening only in containers. Yes this fertilizer is smelly but once worked into the soil it doesn't have any odor, for humans at least. And my philosophy is that the smelly fertilizers are always the best ones since that means that there is real decomposed organic matter in there which your plants will love.

We call them magical poop pellets. They are making my indoor plants and garden go crazy. They are fragrant, so I add a layer below the top dirt. That helps keep my dog from rolling and digging.

Great product

Lots of fertilizer for the price! This beats standing by the granular fertilizer display at your local organic gardening store, puzzling over which fertilizer to get and how much money to part with. I've used the expensive mixes and the cheap stuff, and this is a good mid-point for both price and quality. I had a bed of death, with a poorly composted mix of planting soil that was still half mulch, robbing the soil of vital nitrogen and stunting all that I tried to plant. After ripping out the nearly dead peppers, I mixed in about 1/3 of this box of fertilizer and planted new veggies. Now they're taking over! The basil is as tall as I am, the peppers loom even higher, and my beans are as happy as can be. It's not a miracle worker, but really made a world of difference without making me go broke. All my newly planted veggies get a sprinkling of fertilizer in their planting hole, and I periodically (when the urge strikes or I remember) sprinkle some on the garden bed before a good rain. Plants are looking good and I'm happy as a clam.
