Playing the Numbers
© 1997, 1998 Streamline Publications
What do they mean and which should you
use—the three numbers on the front panel of fertilizer sacks. The mysterious numbers are, in this
order, percentage content of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. But these
aren't the only ingredients since they seldom add up to 100 percent. Number four
is normally sulfur. All, plus others, are needed in various proportions
depending intended use. Albright's HYDROSTART TRIPLE 18
BLENDED FERTILIZER is formulated specifically for hydroseeding. It contains
no abrasives that could damage pumps; has a high nutrient content for a smaller
material volume on the job; and is economical to use with its lower application
rates. The TRIPLE 18 formula combines
organic and inorganic nitrogen sources in a perfectly balanced mix for starting
seeds. Phosphorous (the middle 18) stimulates the early formation of roots so is
reduced in mature growth fertilizers such as Albright's HYDROPOST TM Compost for Hydroseeding. This
environmentally safe, slow-release organic fertilizer
provides steady, long-term nutrition. Call S&S Seeds with your
