Description
Our Jump Start formula is pH-balanced with premium organic ingredients like bat guano, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, and Humic acid, a naturally occurring organic material that is formed when organic matter decomposes. It helps with seed germination and may increase the uptake of important micronutrients.
Best of all, FoxFarm adds 20 species of beneficial microbes to help convert fertilizers into vital plant food and fight off disease. Jump Start is granulated and easy to use, and it provides gentle, slow-release feedings all season long. All of our Happy Frog® organic fertilizers are specially formulated to replenish the soil, lift the human spirit, and beautify the Earth, naturally. Bring your plants to life!
Garden tip: Use Jump Start on all new plantings, as well as cuttings and seeds. For individual plants, add 1-2 tablespoons to each plant. In rows, use 1 cup per 10 square feet of planting area. After 3 weeks, switch to a Happy Frog® fertilizer designed just for them, such as our Fruit & Flower or Tomato & Vegetable blends.
