FoxFarm Happy Frog Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer 5-7-3 | 4lb - OMRI Listed

OMRI-Listed Granular Feed Built for Tomatoes and Garden Vegetables

A food garden growing tomatoes, peppers, and greens side by side needs a fertilizer that covers both the leafy vegetative push and the fruiting stage without switching products partway through, and a straight vegetable-only blend can leave tomatoes and other fruiting crops short on phosphorus when they need it most. FoxFarm Happy Frog Tomato & Vegetable 5-7-3 is a granular, OMRI Listed fertilizer built around that dual demand, supplying nitrogen for growth and phosphorus for fruiting in one bag.

The 4lb bag is a practical size for a home vegetable garden or a handful of raised beds, sized for a season of tomato, pepper, and vegetable feeding without buying more than a typical yard needs.

Key Features & Benefits

• OMRI Listed — meets the standard for use in certified organic vegetable gardening.
• 5-7-3 NPK ratio — balances nitrogen for vegetative growth with phosphorus for the fruiting stage tomatoes and vegetables both go through.
• Added calcium — supports cell wall strength, a factor in reducing blossom end rot on tomatoes and peppers.
• Formulated for the vegetable garden — covers tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, greens, and soft fruits like berries in one product.
• Granular, easy to work in — applied at planting or as a top dressing and worked lightly into the soil surface.

Who Should Use Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer

Home gardeners growing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, leafy greens, and berries in the same beds or containers are the fit for this fertilizer, especially those who want one organic-approved product covering both vegetative growth and fruit set rather than separate feeds for each stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a tomato fertilizer need phosphorus alongside nitrogen?

Nitrogen drives the leafy vegetative growth a young tomato plant needs, but phosphorus is what supports flowering and fruit set once the plant matures, so a fertilizer built only around nitrogen can leave fruiting underfed. The 5-7-3 ratio here is meant to carry a plant through both stages.

Is this fertilizer certified for organic gardening?

Yes, Happy Frog Tomato & Vegetable 5-7-3 is OMRI Listed, meeting the standard for use in certified organic production. That makes it a fit for a fully organic vegetable garden or backyard orchard.

Can I use this on vegetables other than tomatoes?

Yes, it's formulated for a broad range of food garden crops including peppers, cucumbers, leafy greens, and berries, not tomatoes exclusively. Application rates may vary slightly by crop, so check the label.

Does the added calcium help with blossom end rot?

Calcium supports cell wall development, and a shortage of it is one contributing factor in blossom end rot on tomatoes and peppers, though watering consistency plays a role as well. Supplying calcium through the base fertilizer is one part of managing that risk, not a complete fix on its own.

How and when should I apply this fertilizer?

Work it into the soil at planting time or apply it as a top dressing during the growing season, then water in thoroughly either way. Check the label for application rates based on bed size or container volume.
