Fertilizer Question
For years i used Peters fert. 24-8-16 with micro nutrients
They are no longer in business, How ever a member of the Peters family has started a new company (Jack's classic). He dose not
have the 24-8-16, but the micro nutrients are in his formulas
The problem I have is in the past I could buy a 5lb. box of Peters for what they now want for 1and a half lb.box of Jack's $14

Does any one know of a brand that has similar numbers and
micro nutrients at a more reasonable price.

Thanks for any help, Fred

Assuming you are aware of the issues associated with using something with those high ratings then the standard Miracle Gro All Purpose Water Soluble Plant Food (green and yellow box) is the same thing as the old Peter's formula was. They have always been carbon copies of each other.

I have been using the Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food for years with great results, Just use according to directions.
