Southern Ag Chelated General Purpose Flower & Garden Nutritional Spray, 16oz – Pint

Having enjoyed landscaping as a hobby for decades, I was frustrated with the nutritionally-deficient soil we have at our new home which left most of our plantings with obvious signs of chlorosis (yellowing leaves). Much of the current top layers of dirt had been excavated from deeper depths and then spread on top of the new elevations leaving the surface ground layer essentially devoid of any of the nutrients naturally found in top layer, undisturbed soils. This, in addition to having to hand water with tap water (as we no longer have a natural well here) which has a high pH of 8.6, was causing our new plantings to simply limp along and barely survive. So with the addition of a small amount of apple cider vinegar (about 1 tsp or so to a gal of this tap water) to lower the pH to around 6.8 (I vary this based on the degree of acidity differing plants require with the use of a certified pH meter obtained online) and this wonderful nutritional concentrate mixed at the levels indicated on the label, all plantings have greened beautifully. If the cause of chlorosis is related to nutrient deficiencies it seems this product should produce positive results 100% of the time. As always recommended by Extension Agents - a basic soil test at your nearby Field Office can tell you whether it is a pH problem, nutritional deficiency or a combination of the above, and is helpful to know before remedial efforts are undertaken, especially if one is not well-versed in landscape maintenance techniques. Finally, if a plant is failing because it is over- or under-watered, or if it is in a sunny location when it is a shade-loving species (or vice-versa), then no amount of this will help. Am re-ordering another five of these right after I complete this review. Thanks for a great product SouthernAg!

Before using any fertilizer at all I recommend sending a soil sample to your local agriculture extension office. It is "dirt cheap" (pardon the pun) and they will give you a print out of everything your soil is deficient in.If you have just been putting high nitrogen fertilizers on your yard for a while and it still isn't bright green, and you don't want to send a soil sample for analysis, it is very likely that your lawn is deficient in nutrients other than N-P-K.This product supplies many of the major minor-elements. I say major because although minor amounts are necessary, they are still a major ingredient in a healthy lawn.The main minor element responsible for greenup is Iron, this has it. BE CAREFUL. Too much iron will be worse than not enough.Once this product has done its job, your regular run-of-the-mill fertilizers (like Scotts products) will be more effective.Do not over-do it.This product requires the use of large-volume spray equipment and the knowledge of AI/acre calculation. If you aren't good with math and chemistry I wouldn't try doing it yourself. Dont mix is strong and spray lightly, mix it lightly and use copious amounts of water to "carry" it.I suggest AT LEAST 3 gal./1000 sq. ft. of finished spray, once diluted.

Mi jardín está bello desde que uso este productoTodas mis plantas están llenas de flores .Si funciona y lo recomiendo es bueno usarlo regularmente

I purchased this product because we had a few larger house plants that were showing early signs of deficiencies. Used as a foliage feeder spray, I turned those plants around in less than a week with a very noticeable improvement even OVERNIGHT! We used to operate a small landscape company in Cape Coral Florida a few years back. People would call us when their palm trees were dying (and in some cases looking totally dead already) - and Southern Ags Chelated Palm Fertilizer used as both a root watering solution and a foliar spray brought back pretty nearly 100 % of the trees we treated. Both of these products are incredible values and will keep your plants looking fantastic. We can HIGHLY recommend these products. Easy to use. Impossible to fail.

It took several weeks after treatment to see results. However, the product label does not give directions on how often to apply this product. I emailed the company to find out but never got any response.

Did not work for my plants they are still yellow

I fed my newly planted Gardina bushes Zone 9. now they are blooming . Dec. 2018

Didn't work quickly, maybe because fall is here.
