Based on how bananas were fertilized in Central America, I introduced 20-5-30 "banana fuel" about 6 years ago. Since that time, experience showed that plants grown in less than tropical environments needed more phosphate and to make it a complete fertilizer for fruiting plants, a better complement of secondary and micronutrients. But notice in the new 16-8-24 formula that none of the specialists I consulted saw any reason to increase the phosphate to more than a 2:1:3 ratio. So we managed to design a high-concentrate fertilizer with a balance that meets the requirements of most fruiting plants into a reasonably priced product. So for example, a big box store will sell you a fruit tree fertilizer at about 1/3 the concentration for about the same price that the
Grow More 16-8-24 is offered.
