Down to Earth All-Purpose Mix 4-6-2 | 25lb - OMRI Listed

Gentle Multi-Ingredient Organic Blend Safe for Transplants, 25lb

Fresh transplants and newly seeded beds are the situations most likely to suffer from fertilizer burn, which is why a lot of organic gardeners keep a gentler blend on hand separate from anything more concentrated. Down To Earth All-Purpose Mix 4-6-2 combines Fish Bone Meal, Blood Meal, Rock Phosphate, Langbeinite, Greensand, Humates, and Kelp Meal into a single release rate calibrated to be gentle even at transplant.

This 25lb size suits established vegetable gardens and mixed flower beds where All-Purpose Mix gets applied across multiple beds or growing seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is All-Purpose Mix 4-6-2 safe to use at transplant time?

Yes, the gentle, non-burning release rate is designed to be safe for transplants, reducing the risk of root damage that more concentrated fertilizers can cause right at the root zone. That makes it one of the few Down To Earth blends suited to seedlings as well as established plants.

What organic ingredients are in All-Purpose Mix 4-6-2?

The blend includes Fish Bone Meal, Blood Meal, Rock Phosphate, Langbeinite, Greensand, Humates, and Kelp Meal, contributing NPK plus micronutrients and organic matter from seven distinct sources. No single ingredient dominates the nutrient profile the way it would in a straight meal or mineral product.

Can I use All-Purpose Mix 4-6-2 for container plants?

Yes, work a measured amount into the potting mix at planting and reapply according to the current label directions throughout the growing season. Its gentle release rate is part of what makes it a reasonable fit for the smaller soil volume in a container.

Is this fertilizer OMRI Listed for certified organic use?

Yes, Down To Earth All-Purpose Mix 4-6-2 is OMRI Listed and appropriate for certified organic production. Each of its seven ingredients is independently reviewed under that same certification.

How does All-Purpose Mix support soil health beyond the initial feeding?

The seven organic ingredients break down gradually, feeding soil microorganisms as they decompose and contributing to improved soil structure and fertility over time rather than delivering a single nutrient release and stopping. That ongoing microbial activity is part of why growers use it as a base fertilizer rather than a one-time application.
