Understanding the 5-7-3 NPK Ratio

The 5-7-3 NPK formula is specifically calibrated for the high demands of tomatoes, vegetables, and fruiting plants:

• 5% Nitrogen (N): Supports vigorous vegetative growth, lush green foliage, and strong stems throughout the growing season
• 7% Phosphorus (P): Higher phosphorus is the key to heavy flowering, abundant fruit set, strong root development, and energy transfer - critical for tomatoes and fruiting vegetables
• 3% Potassium (K): Supports overall plant health, fruit quality, disease resistance, and stress tolerance through the season

Calcium - Preventing Blossom End Rot

One of the most common and frustrating problems for tomato and pepper growers is blossom end rot. Happy Frog® Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer includes calcium to address this directly:

• Calcium is essential for strong, healthy cell wall development
• Prevents blossom end rot - the dark, sunken lesion that ruins tomatoes, peppers, squash, and melons
• Builds stronger cell walls that boost the plant's ability to resist disease
• Supports healthy fruit development from set through harvest
• Improves overall plant structure and stem strength

Mycorrhizal Fungi - Enhanced Root Efficiency

Happy Frog® Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer includes mycorrhizal fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots to:

• Dramatically expand the effective root zone beyond what roots alone can reach
• Increase root efficiency and surface area for greater nutrient access
• Enhance nutrient uptake from the surrounding soil
• Improve water absorption - especially important during summer heat and drought stress
• Support stronger, more resilient plants through seasonal stress
• Establish faster after transplanting for reduced transplant shock

Natural Organic Ingredients

Happy Frog® Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer is crafted from a blend of premium natural organic ingredients:

• Fish Meal: High-nitrogen organic source that feeds plants and stimulates soil microbes
• Feather Meal: Slow-release nitrogen for sustained feeding throughout the season
• Bone Meal: Natural phosphorus and calcium source for root development and fruiting
• Alfalfa Meal: Natural growth stimulant rich in triacontanol, a plant growth hormone
• Soil Microbes: Beneficial microorganisms that improve soil health and nutrient cycling

OMRI Listed® & CDFA Certified Organic

Happy Frog® Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer carries two important organic certifications:

• OMRI Listed®: Reviewed and approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute for use in certified organic production
• CDFA Registered: Registered California Department of Food and Agriculture Organic Input Material

Pairing with FoxFarm Products

For the ultimate FoxFarm growing system, pair with:

• FoxFarm Happy Frog® Potting Soil: Microbe-rich container mix that works synergistically with this fertilizer

Tips for Growing Great Tomatoes & Vegetables

• Apply fertilizer consistently every 4-6 weeks - don't skip mid-season feedings when plants are fruiting heavily
• Calcium in this formula helps prevent blossom end rot, but consistent watering is equally important
• Apply to moist soil to prevent root burn and ensure even nutrient distribution
• Avoid fertilizing during extreme heat or drought stress - water first, then feed
• Mulch around plants to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
• For containers, top-dress monthly as nutrients deplete faster in pots
