Jobe’s Organics Granular All Purpose Fertilizer, Easy Plant Care Fertilizer for Vegetables, Flowers, Shrubs, Trees, and Plants, 16 lbs Bag

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.

Great food for my sage palms

Works well but smells terrible. Smells like dog poop

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!

My roses seem to enjoy this product very much. The fertilizer makes my roses bloom fantastic

I bought this to include in my "fertilizer cocktail" that I wanted to use to spruce up some rhodies that were looking a bit pale green after a few years of inattention. Some also had vines creeping over them which may also contributed to their condition. Was a combination of this and the sprinkler system not getting to the roots of the plants in my opinion. Anyway, I bought this and used it along with some shake n feed all purpose fertilizer as well as some epsom salts. After several applications to the base of the plants with some watering, I have noticed the plants perk up and start to look a more dark, healthy green. Now, I'm not an expert on gardening by any stretch and have not done any type of controlled experiment with this product, especially since I used three products mixed together, however I did see noticeable results. As for the smell as some mentioned. Yes this smells strong and not pleasant - like the inside of a gardening center or a nursery times ten. However, I don't keep this inside my house but in my shed where I keep my gardening tools - and the bag is resealable. The smell of this product is the least of my worries. Good value for the size of the bag would recommend.

smells terrible lol, but my lime tree seems to love it! I've had a potted lime tree for many years and feed it monthly with this fertilizer. It seems to work well, since my tree has had a couple of years where it produced a decent amount of limes.

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.

Had used this plant feed before and found it very good for plants in pots

ممتاز

Used this product per instructions after 5 weeks I see the beginnings of flowers. I’m so excited as this is my first lemon tree. It does have a smell that my dog finds interesting but I stirred it into the top couple of inches of soil and after a couple watering it is no longer an issue.

I have started seeds in June 2021 for a calamondin. They sprouted and grew but never had new growth for 2-3 months. I researched online and found this Jobe's Citrus fertilizer that seem to have very good reviews and decided to try them on. My babies loved them!!! In a week or two, all of my seedlings started to have new growth. One of the 'rockstar' seedlings in the picture grew 4 new leaves (week1) and on week 2, it started growing another set of 4 leaves!! If you are still deciding whether to buy this or not, I guarantee you should get them! Side note though as the other review noted, seems the smell of this fertilizer attracts dogs. My pooch never left my side while I was fertilizing the plants, they're drawn to the smell of it! So make sure you pack them securely away from your pets.

After spending much time contemplating what fertilizer I should get for my citrus I decided on this. I am glad I did. I used it on my Meyer tree and it was not long after I see my tree perking up and my tiny lemons are growing like crazy. It's also good for stone fruit. I used it on my baby peach tree and it really took off. I am very happy with this product. Just follow the instructions.
