Vegetables Alive! All-Natural Vegetable Fertilizer (3 lbs) Promotes vigor and reduced stress for healthier plants. Use on salad greens, beans, peas, cucumbers and more. Apply 3 pounds per 100 sq. ft. before planting, or side-dress when plants start active growth. Water well after fertilizing to help work the fertilizer into the soil. For optimal results, apply again midseason for healthy, high-yielding plants.
