Down to Earth6-Pound All Purpose 4-6-2 Mix 7801

I am a plant killer. I'm so bad with plants. And I also have a terrible habit of buying up clearanced plants that look like they're about to die.Last Christmas's poinsettias come to my house to live their final moments free of their own rotting leaves and cramped, foil paper covered pots.But this year, I gave all of my plants a little bit of this blend instead of repotting them because if I use houseplant fertilizer I inevitably burn their roots and they all die, and they're all looking pretty good. The poinsettia I dragged home after new years is growing and making new leaves. Those never lived past February before and it's June. The aloe look pretty happy, except the one... A couple other plants I've had for a while are looking more perky and healthy and all I've done is give them a little bone and a little blood, not changed the soil or the water.So even for someone that's just awful with plants, this natural fertilizer will help. I think I put a bit less than recommended just as a precaution because I've been burned by fertilizers before.Some people have mentioned it has a little bit of a smell when watered and yeah, there's a bit of an odd scent to it, but it's not gross or like rotting meat, and it doesn't linger too badly.

this stuff works great

I used this organic fertilizer on my summer squash, my grape tomatoes, and my hot peppers, with all doing well. I typically mix it in when setting plants out in the spring, and as a top dressing later on. This fertilizer works well by itself, or mixed together with organic soil amendments, like Azomite.

I use this religiously in my vegetable and herb garden. I topdress 1x/month and my plants love it! My tomatoes are 5’ tall and covered in fruit and flowers. My herbs are lush, and my peppers and lettuce are healthy. I like that it combines different meals (alfalfa, kelp, bone, fish) and that it contains humic acids which are necessary for the plants to uptake the nutrients. The only con I can think of is the plastic bag within the box tears after some time, so I add it all to a large Tupperware to keep it dry and protected.

We used this on some new plantings on a landscaping area we extended. The new plants are now as big as the existing plants (that were planted years ago) AND the new plants are blooming!

I found this product via a recommendation on an organic-gardening website, where they also sell it. It's listed in their "organic fertilizer" category, yet the product name and packaging (I bought it from Amazon) don't say "organic" anywhere -- and when something is organic, they generally plaster that all over it. So that makes me wary.The only related thing on the box is a small "OMRI Listed" logo. So to me, it seems suspicious. The product seems to work well for making my plants and vegetables grow, but non-organic fertilizer would do the same thing. If it's really organic, why doesn't it say so?

Always one of my favourites!!! A great stand alone nutrient or a wonderful part of an soil amending program along with other DTE nutrients!!

Tried and true. My non fertilizing friends don’t understand why my container vegetable garden does so well. This is why. Rather than scratch it into the container soil, when I plant I leave room for “side dressing” I keep a small garbage can with container soil plus a box of this already mixed in; I add the mixture as needed. Not scratching to disturb the roots.
