🧪 How to learn the Truth about fertilizers.

Spring is here and so is the time to give your plants more food for active growth!

❓ How to decide which fertilizer to chose with so many of them on the market? The basic idea is -

❗️ All fertilizers and good for plants, because it's food!

But like with every food in must be in right time, right kind, and right amount.

Basic types of fertilizers:

• 
  ❇️ Controlled-release fertilizer is coated and release nutrients slowly and constantly within labeled amount of time (3-6-12 months). Good for stepping-up and transplanting.
• 
  ❇️ Slow release granulated fertilizer breaks down quickly, especially in the heat, and should be used as a top-dress only occasionally (for example, to green up a plant quickly).
• 
  ❇️ Liquid fertilizers are the most efficient in a long run. They make plants strong, resistant, healthy and productive, slowly but surely building up energy in their system. This is why all professional food farms, from veggies to hemp, stick to liquid plant food.

We suggest Sunshine Boosters, they are safe to use with every watering and year around. Their formulas are natural (based on organic amino-acids) and great for edibles.
