Monterey Planting Packs 20-10-5 - 10 g Packets - 500 Count

Pre-Measured Starter Feed for Faster Transplanting - 500 Packets

Measuring and mixing fertilizer for every transplant slows a crew down and makes dosing uneven. Monterey Planting Packs put a pre-measured 10 g portion of slow-release fertilizer in each packet, so you drop one beside the root zone, backfill, and water in. The formula uses polymer-coated urea for a slower nitrogen release as roots establish.

This 500 count box suits commercial growers, nurseries, and landscape crews who set out many transplants and want a consistent starter feed on every plant. Small gardens may prefer the smaller bag format the maker also offers.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pre-measured 10 g packets — removes measuring, mixing, and guesswork at planting.
• Polymer-coated urea — releases nitrogen more slowly for steady feeding as roots establish.
• 20-10-5 analysis — supplies nitrogen, phosphate, and potash together.
• Secondary nutrients and micronutrients — includes calcium, boron, and copper alongside the main nutrients.
• Direct in-hole use — one packet is sized for a typical transplant; scale the count to plant size.

Who Should Use Monterey Planting Packs

Use them if you transplant ornamentals, vegetables, fruits, trees, shrubs, or container-grown plants into beds or the ground and prefer a set-and-forget starter feed to a mixed granular application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I use a planting pack?
A: Place one packet in the planting hole so it sits beside the root zone. Backfill and water in. Follow the product label for rate and placement.

Q: How many packets does one plant need?
A: One packet is sized for a typical transplant. Use more packets for larger plants, and check the label for the rate.

Q: What does 20-10-5 mean?
A: The three numbers show the percentage of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash in the fertilizer. This product also contains calcium and micronutrients.

Q: Why choose a slow-release packet over a mixed granular feed?
A: Packets give a fixed portion with no mixing, so each plant gets a consistent amount. Slow-release nitrogen feeds over time rather than all at once.

Q: Is this suitable for hydroponic systems?
A: It is made for planting in soil or ground beds, not for dissolving in a nutrient reservoir. Use it for in-ground and container transplants.
