Im used to applying substantial amounts of granual fertilizer to the soil to feed my trees and shrubs every 3 to 6 months, how can only a 2 oz. packet of granular fertilizer last up to 5 years?
A. • The reason a person has to apply so many pounds of granular fertilizer is that you cannot control the amount and time of its release. • Also, the natural saturation of rain water or irrigation washes up to 98% of the nitrates down through the soil and into the groundwater (commonly called LEACHING). • This process of granular feeding has a two-fold “shock” effect. In most cases, too much fertilizer is applied at one time. This massive initial dose often shocks the plant and results in root burning, which can lead to tree or shrub death. If the tree or shrub survives, it is shocked again when the fertilizer has leached into the groundwater, and no subsequent applications are applied. This feeding-starving process causes irregular growth patterns, poor overall health and possible death. Using Nutri-Pak® solves all of the above problems in the following manner: • Nutri-Pak® is enclosed in a polyethylene packet. The packet only releases fertilizer when adequate temperature and moistur
