An organic, slow release nitrogen fertilizer


Description

Suståne 5-2-4 All Natural Slow Release Nitrogen Fertilizer provides 6 - 12 weeks of nitrogen in the organic slow-release form and complies with the National Organic Program standards. Suståne replenishes the soil with a rich supply of humus (stabilized organic matter) and all of the essential naturally chelated nutrients required for sound and long term soil building programs. Suståne 5-2-4 All Natural is derived from biologically stable organic compost plus natural sulfate of potash and feather meal.

Stabilized Organic Matter

Suståne 5-2-4 All Natural Slow Release Fertilizer was designed with the knowledge that the best way to grow quality plants is to develop and maintain a healthy soil. While synthetic fertilizers supply plant growth nutrients, they do not supply the organic matter required to maintain quality plant life.

Professional Grade

Unmatched by any other organic fertilizer manufacturer, such research is the foundation for developing products that deliver value under a wide variety of growing conditions. The superior performance of Suståne's products is recognized by growers from around the world.
