NPK: 6-1-3 avg. Rich in the basic nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, it makes an excellent fertilizer and soil additive. Can help suppress fusarium infestations.
Natural phosphorus source. Adequate phosphorus results in more vigorous early root formation, better flower and seed production, better growth in cold temperatures, and better water use efficiency.
A good source of immediate potassium for depleted soil and of magnesium where calcium is abundant. Alliums like its sulfur and potatoes like its quick boost of potassium.
NPK: 0.5-0.5-0.3 apx, plus trace minerals. Worm castings limit plant disease and have beneficial effects including enhanced mycorrhizal activity and the suppression of parasitic nematodes.
