Easy to use for amazing results that make you a horticultural genius (even if you're not).
Fantastic for vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and all other landscape and ornamental trees and shrubs, Earthworks Protein Plus is a new concept in plant nutrition. In order to provide color, vigor, recovery and plant health, the plant needs all the elements required to build protein such as chlorophyll. Plants build amino acids by combining all the essential nutrients not just nitrogen. These amino acids combine to create proteins which are the life force of the plant.
Protein Plus combines six forms of nitrogen for maximum efficiency along with an entire spectrum of essential macro and micro nutrients and other important co-factors that are essential in the construction of a complete protein within the plant. Protein Plus uses over 60 trace elements, vitamins, minerals, carbon sources and other cofactors to help the plant quickly and efficiently build chlorophyll before pathogens have the opportunity to consume the free nitrogen and proliferate.
Foliar feeding is a supplement not a replacement for granular soil fertilizing... take care of the soil first. For significantly healthier plants, foliar feed every two weeks, only before 8 AM or after 6 PM, never in high wind, and try to spray both the top and under, on the back, of the leaves.

"A home valued at $150,000 with lawn only could be worth $8,250 to $19,050 more with a landscape of color and large plants. The multi-state study found minimal landscapes (simple design with small plants) detracted from the value. Research data showed home price premiums increased 6 to 7 percent for home landscapes upgraded from good to excellent and 4 to 5 percent for an upgrade from average to good. Combined, a landscape upgrade from average to excellent increases home value by 10 to 12 percent." Turf Magazine, 2016
