Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 Organic Fertilizer, 500 g Pouch | Dry Soil Blend

Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4, a Dry Blend for Soil Growers

Equal parts nitrogen, phosphate and potash make a starting point that suits most crops in soil, from vegetables to flowers and shrubs. This blend carries a guaranteed analysis of 4-4-4. The 500 g pouch is sized for a season of containers, raised beds and houseplants. Nitrogen comes from fishbone meal, feather meal, alfalfa meal, insect frass and a soy protein hydrolysate. The soy is verified non-GMO. Phosphate rock and fishbone meal supply phosphorus, while sulfate of potash and greensand bring potassium. Gypsum and oyster shell add calcium, and seaweed meal from Ascophyllum nodosum rounds out the trace elements. Each ingredient breaks down at its own pace, so the blend releases nutrients over weeks rather than all at once. Soil microbes do that work, which is why the fertilizer feeds the soil life along with the plant. Gaia Green makes it in British Columbia, and Ecocert Canada approves it for use in organic agriculture. It is a dry mix that stores well in a sealed pouch.

Mixing an Organic Fertilizer Into Pots and Beds

For new potting soil, blend in 3 tablespoons per gallon of mix before planting. Wet the mix and let it sit for a week, so the biology wakes up and begins breaking the meals down. Once plants are growing, top-dress 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil each month. Scratch it gently into the top inch or two, keeping it away from the stem, then water it in. In garden beds and landscapes, broadcast up to 1.8 kg per 10 square metres, which is 18.4 lb per 500 square feet. Work it lightly into the soil and water afterward. Keep the yearly total for beds under 7.2 kg per 10 square metres. On a lawn, spread up to 6 lb per 1,000 square feet, water thoroughly and feed only actively growing turf. Keep the soil moist but not soaked, because run-off carries nutrients and soil life away. A dense root mat makes dry feeds hard to work in. Pre-mix the fertilizer with a little potting soil and spread it evenly over the surface. Reseal the pouch and store it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sun.
