Question: What are the numbers for on the label? Answer: Content percentage of NPK/ NITROGEN - PHOSPHORUS - POTASSIUM
Nitrogen: It facilitates cellular development and is a major component of chlorophyll, which in turn facilitates photosynthesis, without which a plant wouldn't be able to process its food. It is also a component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins in both plant and animal life on Earth.
Phosphorus: Phosphorus plays a role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants manufacture their own food using the sun's energy. It promotes root growth, blooming and helps plants withstand environmental stress such as disease and moisture deficiencies
Potassium: Garden potassium, usually in the form of potash, helps plants use water and resist drought as it regulates overall plant growth and health.
NOTE: After applying slow release synthetics you must water 1/2 ´ daily for the one-week minimum you can insert a stake in the ground after watering or put an empty tuna can (1") to figure out how long you need to water.
