Do you offer any time-release fertilizers?

Yes.  American Pride^® and Marine Cuisine^® are both time-release fertilizers that also contain beneficial organic ingredients.  Competitor’s time-release products that are of a lower quality contribute to a build-up of salt in the soil, which makes it hard for plants to absorb nutrients and can actually cause a plant to starve.  We use low-salt ingredients that help create healthy plants and healthy soils.  In fact, we’ve found that earthworm populations actually increase in the presence for our products.

Use American Pride^® for all of your flowering trees and shrubs, especially for roses, 2-3 times per year.  Use Marine Cuisine^® 1-2 times per year for your evergreen and ornamental trees and shrubs, especially acid loving plants, like azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, and dogwoods.  Marine Cuisine^® is great for vegetables, too.

Why did my plants burn the last time I used American Pride^® and/or Marine Cuisine^®?

Remember that American Pride^® and Marine Cuisine^® do include some organic ingredients, but they are not 100% organic fertilizers.  If you use too much, you can burn your plants.  With these extra strength, time-release fertilizers, less is more.

Don’t forget that a powerful, six-month plant food needs to be used as directed.  Be patient, because a little goes a long way.  These fertilizers are meant to be mixed into the soil.  Be careful not to allow the product to come into contact with the plant leaves or stems.  Pull excess fertilizer away from base of plant, and make sure that you water thoroughly.
