Jobe's Organics Jobe’s 9026 Fertilizer, 4 lb

I'm very pleased with this organic fertilizer. It's a 2-5-3 formulation that is excellent for a wide range of vegetables. I augment it with fish fertilizer for veggies that need a nitrogen boost (such as leafy greens) but for everything else, this works very well. It's granular and easy to work into the ground (or pot/raised bed). As with any organic fertilizer there's a noticeable odor, but it's not bad at all. It's derived from bone meal, poultry manure and sulfate of potash. It also provides a good assortment of bacteria and fungi species to build and maintain a healthy soil environment. It is made in the USA. I've been a Jobes user for years and none of their products have ever fallen short of expectations. This is no exception -- five stars.

As someone who loves fresh veggies but doesn't always have the time or skill for meticulous gardening, I was intrigued by Jobe's Organics 09026 Fertilizer. Its organic claims and promises of fast-acting results seemed too good to be true, so I put it to the test in my tomato patch. Here's the dirt: The Good: Organic Bounty: This fertilizer is OMRI-listed, meaning it's certified organic and free of synthetic chemicals. My veggies grew happily without any worries about harsh additives. Speedy Sprout: Jobe's Biozome, a blend of beneficial microbes, definitely lived up to its name. My tomato plants flourished within weeks, with noticeably more vibrant leaves and earlier fruit production. Drought Defender: Even during a surprise heatwave, my tomato plants held strong. The improved soil conditions thanks to the Biozome seemed to help them retain moisture and weather the dry spell. Pest Patrol: While not a magic bullet, I noticed a decrease in insect activity compared to previous years. The healthier plants seemed less appealing to hungry bugs, which gave me some peace of mind. Convenient Caddy: The resealable bag makes it easy to store and use the fertilizer. No more messy spills or lost product! The Not-So-Good: Potent Aroma: Some reviewers mentioned an unpleasant odor. While I didn't find it unbearable, it's definitely noticeable, especially right after application. Be prepared for a whiff of earthy funk. Mystery Microbes: The exact composition of Jobe's Biozome isn't readily available. While it seems effective, knowing more about the specific microbes involved would be reassuring for some gardeners. Not for Indoor Use: This fertilizer isn't meant for indoor plants. So, if you're hoping to boost your houseplant jungle, you'll need to find a different formula. Overall: If you're looking for an organic and fast-acting fertilizer to give your veggie garden a boost, Jobe's Organics 09026 is a great option. The Biozome technology truly seems to work, leading to healthier plants and earlier harvests. Just be prepared for the earthy aroma and the lack of detailed information about the microbes at play. Happy gardening!

The product performs as expected when able to use it in the garden and increases vegetable yields. The seller is great, except they used the USPS who is not stellar in delivery and package received vastly damaged.

Our tomato plant we bought had been growing quite well but without flowers, leading me to research fertilizer that is higher in phosphorus and potassium than nitrogen. Game across this and I enjoyed the fact that these are easy to apply, slow release granules to add to the planters. It felt almost immediate but after a few days, I started noticing little flower pods on my tomato plants! So far, so good with this fertilizer as the flowers keep growing.

Price wise, best organic on the market. I'd grab the 16 pound bag. DO NOT PUT LARGE AMOUNTS OF BIRD FECES INSIDE YOUR HOUSE. NO CARBON AIR FILTER IS GONNA FIX THAT. OUTDOOR AND INDOOR FERTILIZER SHOULD BE SEPARATED. "Dr. Earth" pure gold 2-2-2 or premium gold 4-4-4, has much less offensive odor. Cause, they didn't use bird feces 💩. FOR INDOOR PLANTS Organic fertilizer seems to have better growth. I think it makes healthier soil and that matters, soil health. The actual best organic fertilizer is "FERMENTED FISH AND CORN STEEP LIQUOR", HYDROSYLATE ACID it's loaded with amino building blocks.... NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE THE NEXT DAY...."it's fish meal and corn syrup that has been digested by lactobacillus"....great foliar or liquid feed. You can find a gallon for $45 cheaper to make 4 gallons: put a bubble lock on it, (anaerobic fermentation) and keep it under 120° for a year....you can make 4 gallons...."I'd want to use a glass beer fermentation vessel"....it will start to eat plastic w/ the fish meal and corn syrup....🦠 Lactobacillus (not sure which one or ones)
