General Information:
Nature Safe 8-5-5 Landscape Fertilizer is formulated to deliver a balanced fertility package
with primary and secondary nutrients ideal for lawns, landscapes and organic crops. Nature
Safe 8-5-5 consists of various proteins such as meat, bone and blood meals, that provide
slow release nitrogen over an 8-12 week period. Nature Safe 8-5-5 contains 4.5% calcium,
an essential nutrient for plant and soil health. Carbohydrates in the form of simple sugars
and starches are added to stimulate microbial activity. Humus is included to buffer the soil
against extreme salt concentrations and improve soil structure for tolerance during heat and
drought conditions. Virtually all of the product is utilized through plant uptake, with minimal
leaching and volatilization. Nature Safe 8-5-5 Landscape Fertilizer is OMRI listed and
allowed under NOP guidelines validating its use in the production of organic certified crops.
Directions for Use:
Established Turfgrass: Use as a topdressing for lawns, landscapes or any established
turf. Apply 6.25 to 12.5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 3.0 kg to 6.0 kg per 100 m2 (0.5 lb. to 1
lb. of actual N). Results are enhanced during aeration. Covers from 4,000 to 8,000 sq. ft.
Grow-ins: Apply 12.5 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. for 1 lb. of actual nitrogen to be raked into the top 4 inches of topsoil during seedbed preparation.
Flower Beds: In early spring apply 1 lb. (2 cups) per 25 sq. ft. Work into soil bed,
plant flowers and water. Repeat application when buds begin to bloom.
