Spring Blooms

 Are you not getting the results from your fertilizers you want?  The mineral Phosphate the main contributor to blooms is naturally deficient our foothill soil.  This mineral has difficulty penetrating soil and getting to the roots where it is needed.  Scratching the fertilizer into the soil and getting it down around the root zone of the plants will greatly increase the blooms next spring.  Using a fertilizer with a low or no nitrogen and a higher phosphorous in the fall will help produce the flowers in the spring.  We recommend using Super Phosphate or Ultra Bloom.  These fertilizers are good for all plants not just flowers.  Spring flowers produce the fruit we enjoy in the summer and fall.
