Verdanta GM-2 - 7-6-12
• General purpose mixture (7-6-12 + 2.3%
magnesium) of organic and mineral nutrient
sources and an excellent fertilizer for many
crops in field soil or potting mixes, including
herbs, vegetables, annuals and perennials
• Provides early plant response in cool
temperatures and continued nutrient release
• The variety of organic, non-composted nutrient
sources attracts a broader array of
microorganisms. This microbial activity and the
resulting nutrient release increases the “biology”
of your soil or potting mix
Verdanta Eco-Vita -
7-5-10
• A compound organic fertilizer with
NPK and organic compounds
• Ideally suited for diverse applications,
due to its mild action and complete formula

FERTILIZER LABEL ANALYSIS
The numbers represent the percentage by weight of the fertilizer contents
12% N ( Nitrogen) - 12% (Phosphorus) - 12% (Potassium) {or Potash}
Fertilizing Lawns
• Apply 1 to 4 lbs of nitrogen (N) per year to each 1,000 sq. ft. at the rate of 1 lb N per application.
• Applications to cool-season grasses can be made in February-March, May-June, August-September and October-December
• Applications to warm-season grasses can be made each month beginning in early June at the rate of 1 lb N
• Applications made in the warm-season or in times of drought, should be thoroughly watered in to avoid further stress.
Rates of Application When Pounds of Actual Nitrogen (N) Are Given
Example: How many pounds of a 12% N fertilizer should be applied to supply 1 lb actual N/1,000 sq ft.? or to an acre?
Solution: Go to the “% of N in analysis” and find 12. The number below, in the next line, indicates 8 lbs of fertilizer to apply 1 lb of actual
nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft.. The number below that (370 lbs) is the amount of fertilizer needed when the area to be covered is acres.
