Tools Needed

Special Considerations
Peters Peat Lite Special 20-10-20 contains more than .001% molybdenum (Mo). The application of fertilizing materials containing molybdenum (Mo) may result in forage crops containing levels of molybdenum (Mo) which are toxic to ruminant animals.
Unsealed or partially used products may take on moisture from the atmosphere and may subsequently soften or harden in the bag. As long as bags are properly re-sealed, this should in no way diminish nutrient content of the fertilizer.

Keith's Pro Tips | "The correct fertilizer concentration for a particular growing operation will depend on a number of factors including, feeding frequency, crop type, crop stage, growing media, pot size, leaching fraction and environmental conditions. Generally, fertilizer should be applied at concentrations necessary to sustain optimal root zone nutrient levels and quality plant growth. Continuous feeding provides a more uniform plant nutrition program and is recommended over periodic feeding." |
