The formula

Tomatoes & Veggies

One tablet supports both stages of fruiting vegetables: nitrogen for early growth, then potassium-rich nutrition and magnesium for the fruiting season.

  • Potassium ahead of nitrogenSupports fruit set, size and flavor. The season-long balance is richer in potash than a typical 1.25:1 vegetable program.
  • Magnesium includedKieserite magnesium helps prevent lower-leaf yellowing under potassium-heavy feeding.
  • Nitrate-led nitrogenHalf the nitrogen comes from potassium nitrate; coated urea supplies the remainder steadily.
  • Moderate phosphorusSupports roots and flower set without bloom-booster levels.
  • Fully coatedAll nutrients release through biodegradable coating with soil warmth.
Guaranteed analysis & formulation notes

Designed for tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, squash and melons. The higher potash balance accounts for nitrogen already present in home mixes; in our side-by-side trials it out-yielded a balanced vegetable food.
