Revitalize Your Lawn

Fuel Beneficial Organisms

This fertilizer enriches soil and gives nutrients to the millions of microorganisms that call your soil home. Without these organisms your plants would not have access to the essential nutrients needed for healthy growth.

Protection From Disease

The healthier a plant and its soil become, the better they are able to defend themselves against pest insects, fungi, and disease. As a result of the added nutrients from Lawn Restore applications, these microscopic organisms can continue to thrive and provide nutrients to your grass.

Family Friendly

When used as directed, Safer Brand Lawn Restore Fertilizer is safe for immediate use by the whole family, kids and pets included!

It’s All In The Formula

Lawn Restore possesses an NPK balance of 9-0-2, a healthy balance for any lawn to grow into a thick, vigorous turf. The key to a truly great fertilizer is balance and a slow release of nutrients. Lawn Restore provides the most important nutrient for lawns, nitrogen, in abundance and contains potassium to promote strong root systems to keep your lawn healthy for longer.

Choosing a fertilizer with natural ingredients like Lawn Restore ensures you never shock your lawn with chemicals or harm the beneficial organisms in your soil. Fertilizers without harmful chemicals support long-term growth and contain no salts that could potentially cause burning or dehydration. Because the ingredients in Lawn Restore are naturally derived, there is no risk of harmful runoff polluting the environment.

Product description

A green lawn is a healthy lawn, & a healthy lawn is a product of a thriving ecosystem within your soil. That's why Safer Brand has created lawn restore II - an organic fertilizer that immediately goes to work to ensure the proper balance of natural elements in your soil, in turn giving you a healthier, greener lawn in just 3-5 days. Backed by over a quarter-century of research & development, this formula is the best choice for any turf; use it to promote greening in fresh sod, or bring life back to existing grass. & since lawn restore II covers twice the square footage of the original formula, it's more economical than ever before. Organic lawn care does not have to mean expensive lawn care. Ringer lawn restore II covers twice the amount of land as the original lawn restore formula as well as other leading organic fertilizers. & Safer Brand did not have to sacrifice effectiveness; lawn restore II delivers the same great results as the original formula, while cutting the cost for you in half. Your grass feeds off of nutrients in your soil that are produced by beneficial bacteria & fungi. Organic fertilizer feeds that bacteria & fungi so that they can naturally produce those nutrients that your grass needs to flourish. Other synthetic fertilizers directly feed the grass, not only neglecting the beneficial bacteria & fungi, but killing them off. Without these organisms in your soil, your grass cannot survive on its own. Rather than disrupting your soil's valuable ecosystem, lawn restore II promotes it, giving you a healthy, weed-free lawn, naturally. Not only does lawn restore II make your lawn greener & fuller above ground, but it also promotes a deep, strong root system below ground. Strong roots are necessary in the long-term health of your turf, protecting it from drought, diseases & maintaining a natural flow of healthy nutrients to your grass.

• No manures/no odor
• Covers u to 5,000 Sq. Ft. per bag

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the ingredients in this
Answer:	It is a regular fertilizer except that it has zero phosphate so it's numbers are 10-0-6. I use it in my vegetable garden because I have a high phosphate reading
Question:	Can i use this now (end of october/beginning of november) in the northeast
Answer:	Yes, applying the product in the fall is a great way to winterize your yard.
Question:	Can this be used on a lawn near a well system
Answer:	Yes that could be used on a lawn near a well system. Thanks.
Question:	Is it better than milorganite
Answer:	I can't definitely say, but "Milorganite" works very well and is much cheaper and easier to find. I live in Ga, nothing but clay-soil here with a "bermuda lawn" and I've been using "Milorganite" for yrs. And I consistently have nicest and greenest grass in my entire sub-division and I do have neighbors that use "True Green" pro-service and another service call "Weed-Man". Neither comes close to my yard. For the most part, I hand pick any weeds that start showing itself, easy to maintain with a health lush lawn. This year I aerated, de-thatched, overseeded and laid "Black Kow" compost (2 bags/100 lbs per 100 sq ft). Did all this at the end of Apr/beginning of May (weather permitting) I will do this again in 3/4 more years. And today (28 May) its the nicest/greenest in the neighborhood. The added compost is needed since 90% of so-called soil is "clay". Also in my geographical area, I find watering twice a week in the wee-morning hrs for 1/2", instead of the once a week for 1" method works well for me again because of the mostly clay soil. Also, its best to get a soil test done before committing to all these fertilizers. If one's soil is chemically imbalanced no amount of fertilizing is going to help your lawn. It does smell a bit. But, that dissipates in a couple of days...no biggie for me.

Safer Brand Amplify Hydroponic Liquid Fertilizer Concentrate - 32 oz.

Get the most out of your blooming plants with Safer Brand Amplify liquid plant fertilizer. When your hydroponic or potted plants begin the flowering process, they require less nitrogen and more potassium to grow and maintain healthy buds, fruit or flowers. Amplify provides a careful balance of these and other nutrients to help you grow a healthy harvest and achieve maximum yields. Furthermore, Amplify is triple-filtered through ultra-fine mesh screens to ensure hassle-free dilution and application. Amplify liquid fertilizer is best used as a part of Safer Brand’s complete nutrient system, which provides the required nutrient balance for each phase of the growth cycle.

Safer Brand Amplify is OMRI listed and compliant for use in organic gardening and production. Use Amplify to feed hydroponic or soil-based plants including indoor and outdoor potted plants, all varieties of flowers, vegetables, herbs, trees, berries, shrubs, annuals and perennials.

Basic Ingredients Provide Powerful Nutrients

Safer Brand Amplify is made of a careful formulation of ingredients derived from acidulated fish tankage, molasses and sulfate of potash. These ingredients not only give flowering plants the balance of nutrients they need, but they also make these nutrients readily available for consumption. Acidulated fish tankage (also known as decomposing fish matter) delivers the nitrogen as well as living enzymes that help your plants quickly absorb the nutrients. Molasses provides some of the food’s potassium as well as essential minerals and carbohydrates that fuel fast and healthy fruit development. Sulfate of potash - or potassium sulfate - provides that extra boost of potassium to promote lush and healthy fruit, vegetables and flowers.

Dilute as Instructed

Mix Amplify with water as instructed, and if plants show signs of stress, decrease the concentration. Drain, discard and replace the nutrient solution every week to prevent imbalance.

Monitor Water Quality and Control Nutrient Strength

Use a conductivity or ppm (parts per million) meter to monitor water quality and control nutrient strength.

Maintain Good pH

Maintain the pH of the nutrient solution between 5.5 and 6.5. Adjustment may be necessary, since water quality and pH vary both regionally and seasonally.

Follow the Feeding Schedule

Carefully follow the feeding schedule above (click “View larger”) to ensure proper delivery of nutrients to your plants during each critical stage of development.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used as a pre-emergent for new sod
Answer:	Yes, and even if it isn't the best per-emergent (vs the chemicals that is) -- it works fairly well especially year over year (gets better the more times you use it). Plus it is a nice fertilizer as well.
Question:	How do I spread it? The bag says by hand or by spreader. Whitch spreader is the best choice
Answer:	I use the Scott's Handy Green but any spreader will work just fine. Just be sure to set your particular brand according to the rate listed on the bag. It's specific for each model.
Question:	Does this use organic corn gluten
Answer:	This product is not organic.
Question:	Can you use it on flower gardens

Stop Weeds From Growing, Before They Start

The best way to control weeds in your lawn and garden is to prevent them from growing there in the first place. Weed Prevention Plus by Concern is an easy-to-use, effective pre-emergent herbicide, which means it kills weeds before they sprout. By applying to your lawn, garden and flowerbeds at the first signs of spring, you can tackle weeds underground - before they become a problem. Made of 100% corn gluten meal - a by-product of the cornstarch manufacturing process - Weed Prevention Plus is all natural, non-burning, odor-free and won’t harm surrounding lawn, plants or wildlife.

Naturally Promotes Green Up and Leaf Growth

Not only does corn gluten safely prevent young weeds from germinating, but it also promotes green up in established lawns and plants. Corn gluten is naturally high in nitrogen, which is an essential nutrient that makes your lawn greener, faster.

Lawns

Spread Weed Prevention Plus across your entire lawn in early spring to prevent weeds and to promote a fast green up. One 5 lb. bag will cover up to 250 sq. ft.

Fruit/Vegetable Gardens

Use this natural herbicide freely around sprouted edible crops up until the day of harvest. Be sure to wait 6 weeks after application to plant new seeds.

Flowerbeds

Protect your precious flowers and bulbs from weed destruction with a nitrogen-rich formula that simultaneously nourishes established plants.

Walkways and Driveways

Sprinkle in between cracks of walkways, driveways and patios to prevent weeds from sprouting and destroying your foundation.

Apply a Pre-Emergent Herbicide

Weed Prevention Plus is best used at the onset of spring, before weeds begin to grow (when crocuses begin to bloom or when forsythia blooms start to drop), and in late summer. Be sure to apply when the forecast shows no rain for a few days following application. Wait 6 weeks to plant any new grass, flowers, vegetables or ornamentals.

Spray Established Weeds

Because Weed Prevention Plus is so rich in Nitrogen, it won’t kill established weeds - it will only promote their growth. Instead, spray a contact herbicide for organic gardening, like Safer Brand Weed & Grass Killer, directly onto sprouted weeds.

Cover Dead Weeds with Mulch

Prevent re-growth of the weeds you killed by placing mulch on top of the sprayed area.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product contain zinc
Answer:	There is no such listing as "NPK" on the ingredient percentages
Question:	how is it applied
Answer:	My lemon tree is only about 2 ft. tall and has been inside all winter. I added 1 3/4C. Jobe's fertilizer and watered it well. that was two days ago and it appears to be doing very well. Because my tree has been inside I have been misting the leaves every day.It had about 50 blossoms on it and is very healthy. I hope to plant it in the ground in April or May.,
Question:	Can this be used on snake plants
Answer:	This fertilizer is 4-4-4. The first number indicates 4% nitrogen, second 4% phosphorus and the third 4% potassium. The best way is to incorporate 4 pounds of 4-4-4 per 100 sq.ft. prior to planting. This kind of fertilizer is called "all purpose" fertilizer. My recommendation is that you analyze your soil with an inexpensive test kit (Amazon has them). Then decide what you want to grow and research on-line what the optimum fertilization ranges are for your specific plants or vegetables. Then, if you incorporate the all purpose fertilizer into you soil before planting you can spot supplement with specific fertilizers as needed. There are many organic solutions available to you. The great thing about Jobe's -09526 is that it is organic so you will be starting off the right way. Lots of luck with your plants.
Question:	How much do you need for 1000sq ft of lawn
Answer:	Protein Hydrolysate from feather meal, bone meal, composted poultry manure, sulfate of potash and various bacteria, endomycorrhizae, ectomycorrhzae and archaea.

Product description

Humax is concentrated liquid humic acid extracted from leonardite. Humic acids increase nutrient availability, promote nutrient uptake and stimulate plant growth. The colloidal nature of humic acid allows it to absorb large quantities of water and thus increases the water-holding capacity of soil. Crops grown on soils containing more humic acid tend to be more drought-resistant.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hello, does this product effect the ph of the solution(h2o
Answer:	I've used it for about 3 years on my 3 ash trees. I found that one showed some signs of emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation & when I checked my application rate, found that I had misjudged my tree circumference by half. So I recently doubled up he application rate for this year to get up to a normal total for the year. My two smaller circumference trees show no signs of borer damage. This is in an area where 1/3 to 1/2 of all our parkway trees will be removed this fall due to EAB infestation and damage.
Question:	Hello friends, what would be the optimum amount of humix per gallon of water, and that percentage concentration has the product
Answer:	I realize I am answering this question over a year later than you asked, but hopefully this info will be more helpful to others looking for the same info.I went to the BayerAdvanced website to figure out how much of the Bayer Tree & Shrub insect control I would need, and found this landscape formula listed on the website. The Original formula mixes 1 oz per inch of circumference, this Landscape formula is meant to be mixed at 1/2 oz per 1 inch of circumference. The landscape formula has 2.94% Imidacloprid So, short answer is - it will treat twice as much as the original. Both are 12 month formulas. I couldn't find this carried anywhere locally, so checked Amazon to see how much it costs, since I have a large amount of trees that need help. The only thing available at the local big box stores was the tree & shrub protect and feed (why do all these companies want to add fertilizer to insect control?!). The concentrate was just under $70, making this advanced formula that treats twice as much with no fertilizer at around $110 more economical.
Question:	What percentage of Humic Acid is in the product
Answer:	According to the directions, you should measure the distance around the trunk of the tree near the base and mix 1/2 ounce of the concentrate per inch with a bucket of water. Apply it once per year. There is enough in the bottle to do 256 inches of tree so it goes a long way.
