About this item
- OSMOCOTE’S HIGHEST TOTAL NUTRIENT FORMULA: NPK = 14-14-14. Favored for seasonal vegetables and perennials. Promotes strong roots as well as vigorous and bountiful above-ground growth.
- OSMOCOTE’S DIRECTIONS FOR USE: 1 lb. covers 40 sq. ft. (approx. 6½’ x 6½’). Mix into 1 – 3” of soil. Applicator included. Apply to vegetable gardens and mulched areas around ornamental trees / shrubs, and raised beds.
- OSMOCOTE QUALITY: Osmocote is the original slow-release plant food. Decades of rigorous field testing confirm product effectiveness with hundreds of plant species in a variety of climate and soil conditions.
- OSMOCOTE’S SECRET: Soil temperature controls how Osmocote releases its nutrients, and importantly how nutrients are taken up by the plant. Replenishment and feeding are in natural harmony.
- OSMOCOTE IS MISTAKE-PROOF: Even if over-applied up to 3x the recommended rate, Osmocote does not ‘burn’ the plant.
- OSMOCOTE CONFIDENCE: Performance is guaranteed. If unsatisfied, return the empty package to The Scotts Company for a full refund.

We’ve been using this product for years in our garden, and it truly gives an extra boost to any plants. We get the large bags, then transfer them to a smaller shake container for easy distribution among our plants. Plus the small container helps my four-year-old daughter help sprinkle this product in our garden. Our garden truly thrives, and produces so many fruits and vegetables. We use it on almost everything: our flowers, strawberries, blueberries, melons, tomatoes, lettuce, garlic, cucumbers, onions, peppers, carrots, squash plants and more!
We love the fact that Osmocote is not only slowly releases the nutrients into the soil, but also protects the nutrient core from being washed away or leached out. Never had an issue with the quality of this product. I truly believe this is a secret ingredient that all gardeners use to improve their garden! I highly recommend using for your plants, give it a try.

It feeds your container plants every time you water. Keep in mind the little pellets will remain in your pots forever but the fertilizer thats inside them is used up after 10-12 wks when temps are around 80° or higher... a little longer when temps are cooler. You'll see an amazing difference in your plants and it couldn't be easier to use. Extremely hard to overfeed or burn your plants with this product as well. Good stuff.
Next thing I know, two new leafs emerged! Now look at it!!!! This stuff is crazy amazing!
