When replanting this is an absolute must!
If you're having to repot plants or even plant plants in your yard or garden This is an absolute must and a game changer. First of all when you go to replant something you need to trim away at the roots to a certain degree I always do half and I always have, then you tease the roots meaning breaking them apart I will even bang the roots on a solid object to loosen up all the old dirt. This biotone is a great value for the money. By using biotone you're increasing the roots strength and thickness while also improving your plant growth your plant health and I must say it is such an easy product to use All you do is sprinkle the adequate amount for the amount of roots that you're planting and you will have the best thriving plants thriving in great organic matter I have gone through about 12 bags of these over the past 3 years That's how fantastic biotone is I learned about this product when I worked at a premier garden center.

Helps plants thrive
I use this when planting any houseplants or perennials. All have survived and flourished, and I'm concluding this is a factor in their success.

Great for Container Gardens
I container garden since my backyard is completely cement. This is my third year attempting a container garden, and I hit it right on this year!!! I learned as much as I could about fertilizer this year, as my previous 2 years resulted in stunted growth, limited produce, and bug infestations. I started my seeds inside about 6 weeks early in a mix of peat, perlite, and biotone. I had been using 5 gallon buckets for all my big plants in the past, but this year I invested in 5 - 15 gallon fabric pots and 5 - 10 gallon fabric pots. I kept my 5 gallon buckets for basil, kale, a cucumber, and a fingerling potato I threw in from my compost bucket.I put 3 tomatoes, 2 eggplants, and various peppers in the fabric pots (one per pot). The Happy Frog seemed like the fertilizer analysis I needed to start these so I mixed this into my dirt. To make my dirt, I mixed about 1/4 old dirt from last year, peat, perlite, vermiculite, Dr. Earth compost, cow manure, and worm castings.Along with the Happy Frog Tomato and Veg, I added:Crab Meal (Neptune's Harvest)Bone MealAzomiteEpsom SaltBlood Meal (not much)BioTone (in the hole at planting)Garden LimeAnd that's it! My plants look AMAZING!! I am the envy of all my neighbors!!!I have been side dressing with Jobe's Tomato and Vegetable granular (I like the lower nitrogen), Neptune's Harvest Fish & Seaweed, and Dr. Earth Bud & Bloom Liquid (only use this last one on flowering veggies) and epsom salt (they need that magnesium and sulfur to absorb the calcium in the bone meal and crab meal). We have had the cloudiest and rainiest spring in years here in the Northeast (Pittsburgh, PA) but my tomatoes have already outgrown their cages. I'm trying to figure out what to do when the sun comes back! So glad I only grew 3 tomato plants this year!!! They are covered in baby green tomatoes, just waiting for the sun to ripen!!!

Organic not in question.
If your worried this product is not of natural ingredients be assured it is if you have never been on a farm you will now experience the aroma of cow poop. I just got this food this week and used it on 2 large flower gardens that i started with new perennial plants. easy to use. I't s always scary using a new product on baby plants that were not cheap. But I sprinkled on the nice dark soil, mixed it well in the dirt, and all my new flower plants are thriving. If you read up on organic plant food, that is what you will want to use. Miracle Grow is cheaper, but I received my Nursey plants healthy and seeded in organic food. I want to keep my plants growing perfect. I am so far convinced that this is great stuff. But if your not sure what cow poop smells like you will find out. My flowers liked it. It does not continue to smell bad, I mean your flowers are not going to stink. Just smelly on application. I am sure I will buy again.
