Onions Alive! is an all-natural fertilizer that slowly releases nutrients without burning young plants. Including key ingredients like alfalfa meal, kelp meal, enzymes, molasses, and humic acid, these nutrients add support like vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, enzymes and so much more! Fertilizer can also be used with other root crops, and only needs two applications per growing season. When plants emerge, apply at a rate of 1 lb. per 50 sq. ft. In midseason, apply again at a rate of 1 lb. per 50 sq. ft. or use as a side dressing by making a 1" deep furrow near the base of each plant and pouring a pencil thick line. Fill the furrow with the appropriate amount of soil.
