Down to Earth 5# Acid Mix 4-3-6

Down to Earth 5# Acid Mix 36 is a natural plant food specially formulated for plants that thrive in acid soil. This product is intended for those who love to garden acid-loving plants like rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, evergreen trees, blueberries and raspberries that grow well in their gardens. The fertilizer provides a balanced combination of nutrients that cost is optimal for the root, flower, and weather resistance development.

Special Formulation for Acid Soil

This fertilizer has been designed specifically to fulfill the requirements of plants that grow in lower pH soils. Its design responds to the issues of acid soils where some nutrients may be less plant available.

• Targeted Nutrition: With a unique 4:3:0 nutrient formulation, the product has:
• Moderate nitrogen for healthy leaves and stems.
• Plentiful phosphorus for sturdy roots, and bright blooms.
• Additional potassium is used to enhance fruit and build overall plant strength.
• Dual Season Use: The fertilizer can be used at two main moments:
• Early Spring: Used at the onset of spring to help plants wake up after winter dormancy.
• During Bloom: Offers additional nutrients while the plant is flowering.
• Fall Application: Strengthens the roots for winter and gears the plants for the next season.

How the Fertilizer Works

Down to Earth 5# Acid Mix 4-3-6 Acid Mix is engineered to marry synergies with the native soil of acid loving plants. It provides a constant flow of vital nutrients in a way that the plants can use with no effort.

• Nutrient Absorption: Even in acid soils where course absorption of nutrients can reduce the ability of plants for nutrient uptake, the product allows the plants to capture the exact quantity of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needed.
• Improved Soil Health: It feeds the plants and enhances the soil structure. Better soil structure means:
• More water retention.
• Better air circulation.
• Improved microbial activity that can be beneficial for plant roots.
