where are you located? diamond r sells a 6-3-16 that is close to what you are looking for. they are based out of FL. also, Richard on the forum has a similar product that is available in water-soluble. i have used both and they work great for me.

i just found this 6-2-12 on the web. seems pretty expensive, though. $25 for 5lbs. http://stokestropicals.plants.com/St...izer-P275.aspx

hopefully that's a typo and it's 25lbs for $5. i spend under $20 for a 50 lb bag for diamond r 6-3-16.

Hurry! I read his site and it seems he's closing down sales/operations. If that's not the case, I hope he corrects me. Pronto.

My site is closed. Someone else will likely offer Fruit Fuel it in a month or two.

Sorry to hear this!

Congrats on the retirement Richard. I hope it's long and enjoyable.
Now that everyday is a Saturday, will we see new updated pictures of that new backyard you put in?

Would 8-2-12 work for you?

HD has BGI-Palmgain $15 for 10lbs which appears to be a lot cheaper than anywhere else.

I'm not so sure that a fertilizer with such a high Calcium content is a good idea in central- and south-Florida soils.

You know, that's a standard fertilizer used mid-stage for sugar beets, etc. and some legumes. I see they've repackaged it at $10 per 2 lbs. An agricultural supplier (e.g., Crop Production Services) will sell it to you at $12 per 5 lbs or $35 per 25 Lbs in the manufacturer's original bag.

"organic" -- are you referring to "USDA NOP certified", or "natural", or ???
