In only a few days we’ll have tucked February away for another year. Good rid-dance I say! We’ve endured another very cold winter and this time we’ve had the added thrill of much higher heating costs for whatever reason. I heat with oil and that has been expensive enough but I’m hearing some real horror stories about bills issued to natural gas users. I’d guess that there will be renewed interest in wood burning stoves, inserts and furnaces. At least our tribulation is just about over with spring right around the corner. Of course there are those troubling rumors that the price of gasoline may jump to near $3 a gallon as the summer travel season arrives. Now THERE’S something to look forward to!
With any luck at all, we’ll be able to get out into our yards in a month or so and start our early feedings of shrubs, trees, lawns and fl owerbeds. But, what the heck with? Before we can actually get out there and feed anything, I’m going to explain a bit about fertilizer. Regular readers will have to bear with me on this. You’ve seen this before but you may ben-efi t from a refresher too.
The fi rst step is to get a handle on those three mysterious numbers on all fertilizer bags. You have noticed them haven’t you? You may be familiar with 5-10-5; the most com-mon vegetable food. By law, the numbers represent the percentage, BY WEIGHT of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) respectively. “WAIT A MINUTE” you say, “if the 5 the 10 and the 5 are percentages, they only add up to 20% of the bag.” I gotta tell you, you’re really on the ball. Guess what, the rest of the bag is fi ller! The fi ller is in there to “make the product easier to spread evenly without burning” as the manufacturers will tell you. This is all true but, the ability to adjust the amount of fi ller vs. nutrients is a device fertilizer produc-ers can manipulate to make a lower food quality appear better than it is but, more about that later.
Anyway, the fi rst number, N, or nitrogen shows how much of the fertilizer is de-voted to green, upward growth. The second number P, or phosphorus, shows how much is devoted to root growth and fl ower & fruit production. The last number K, or potassium is an overall building block that benefi ts all parts of the plant.
I know that many of you understand all this but I know that many more of you are buying fertilizer based on pretty packaging, celebrity endorsements or tarot cards.
Now that you know this you can walk around the garden center and impress your friends by saying things like, “No, no. You don’t want 10-6-4 for you perennial border. It has too much nitrogen. You need more phosphorus for roots and fl owers.” Or, “Say Jason, your lawn is kind of sparse. Maybe you need a lawn food with more phosphorus to help it thicken up.”
While you’re there showing off, you’ll probably notice that each manufacturer has their own “secret formula” that they would like you to believe is better than all the rest. Since these products represent a multi-billion dollar business, you better believe that a lot of time and money has been spent to convince you that their product is better than the rest. Your igno-rance of fertilizer products is crucial to their success. Pretty packages and celebrity endorse-ments are all designed to keep you from asking two key questions. First, WHAT IS THE FORMULA; 5-10-5, 10-6-4, 12-0-0? This I’ve already explained. Remember, these three numbers must, by law, appear on the bag. Often a manufacturer will brag about their formula. What you’ll never hear mentioned is how much their bag weighs. This information is also required to appear on the product but there are no rules that say how large it must appear. Until you know how much the bag weighs, you can’t possibly know what you’re buying. Remember that the three numbers represent the percentage, BY WEIGHT, of the three major nutrients. This means that a higher number on one fertilizer doesn’t necessarily mean that it has more of a nutrient than another product. In other words, the percentages are meaningless until you know what they are a percentage of. If someone asked you if you’d rather have 10% or 50%, you would naturally ask, “Of what?” 50% of $1 is certainly less than 10% of $10. So remember, when you’re looking at those three mysterious numbers, the real mystery is, “Where the heck did they hide the weight on this bag?” Until you fi nd out, you have no way to fi gure out how much of the bag is fi ller and how much is actual nutrient. % X weight = what you are getting. While the E.P.A regulates WHAT may be put into these products, there are few rules for HOW CLEARLY the manufacturer explains this information. It’s all there on the package but it’s up to you to fi gure it out. The best thing to do is to get to know someone at your local garden center that does ”get it” and have him or her assist and educate you. Thanks for the read.

Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to answer me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Sweet mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal, you who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, after 3 days the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
