Benefits
- Vegetable garden plants have increased needs for phosphorus and potassium, essential elements for the development of flowers, which, once pollinated, will produce fruits. Potassium also plays a key role in the concentration of sugar and the flavor of the harvests.
- Fruit vegetables such as tomatoes are particularly sensitive to calcium deficiencies, which can lead to blossom end rot, also known as ‘black bottom’. That’s why the 4-6-8 is K16rich in calcium!

Mother Hen’s Advice
The application of a potassium-rich fertilizer combined with a weekly supply of at least 5 cm (2 inches) of water will promote abundant and flavorful harvests. Normally, the application of hen manure-based fertilizer, which is high in calcium, helps neutralize soil acidity, which saves money and avoids the need to add lime.
