Frequently Asked Questions

What growing setup is this blend built for?

It's used in outside container nurseries as a multi-purpose fertilizer, specifically on a wide variety of plants that are grown in bark mixes. Nursery stock and foliage plants do well with this blend in particular.

Can this fertilizer be used outside of container nurseries?

Yes, it's also used in landscape beds and in large outdoor containers, extending its use case beyond nursery-scale bark mix production. Its labeled use covers nursery stock, foliage, and landscape settings.

What coating technologies does this blend combine?

It combines resin-coated N-P-K with Poly-S coated urea, layering two distinct release mechanisms into one blend. That combination supports its 8-9 month release window.

What does the STEP Hi-Mag component add?

STEP Hi-Mag micronutrients are blended into this formula, the same elevated-magnesium micronutrient package sold separately elsewhere in this batch. That inclusion rounds out the blend's secondary and micronutrient coverage.

What size and packaging is this listing?

It ships as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, matched to its 8-9 month release window. That volume suits commercial outdoor container nursery operations.

How and when should this blend be applied?

Incorporate it into bark mix media at potting time for container nursery stock, or work it into landscape bed soil when planting, rather than topdressing partway through the season. Its 8-9 month release window is designed to cover a full growing season from a single application.
