But did you also know that all plants require other basic nutrients as well? All purpose plant food products were created to provide plants with an ideal mix of nutrients that they require in order to grow and thrive. These nutrients
include both macronutrients, which are nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium,
sulfur and potassium, and micronutrients, comprised of boron, copper, iron,
manganese, zinc, and molybdenum. Though plants can receive most of these
chemicals and minerals from healthy soil in which they are planted, plants
that receive all purpose plant food tend to grow bigger and more beautiful,
helping gardens and lawns to fill in quickly for your enjoyment you will grow
bigger vegetables,brighter flowers, greener grass. All purpose plant food
products can be used on plants of all types, from indoor to outdoor
varieties. Fruits, vegetables, flowers, and even grass can all benefit
from an application of an all purpose plant food product.
The average person need not worry about difficulty when it comes to
feeding their plants. All purpose plant food products are very easy to
use and require surprisingly little effort. They can come in many different forms including sprays, spike sticks, powders, premixed soils, and liquids.
Some come with hose end sprayers that can be attached to your home garden hose,
which results in an evenly mixed nutritional spray known as foliar feeding or leaf feeding and a refreshing douse of water. A few products
even provide protection against pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and other
bugs that love nothing more than to feed on your plants. Products made
specifically for grass and lawns may even be formulated to be used in the
control of weeds and even to help repair brown patches as well.
All purpose plant food products can be found in any lawn care or
gardening center, such as Garden Ridge or Home Depot, as well as most
hardware and home improvement stores, such as Sears, K-Mart, or Ace Hardware.
Always remember to check your local independent Greenhouse or Garden
Center if you have questions as they will undoubtably have answers to all
your questions The next time you get a green thumb, don’t just throw down some seed or toss a plant in a pot with some water. You wouldn’t let your pet scrounge around the house or outdoors for whatever scraps of food they can find; why let your lawn or garden suffer in the same way? Feed your plants the nutrients and supplements that will give you the best garden you could ever ask for.

About Stephen Follett Company… Our company has its roots on a farm outside the Village of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, where in 1952 our founder, botanist and horticulturist Stephen Follett, began production of his newly developed liquid plant food concentrate Follett’s Watch Us Grow®.
He spent the previous decade experimenting with various compounds of fertilizers, trace elements and other organic and inorganic materials to find a formula that would foster healthier and better plant growth. He based his studies on the ancient idea of foliar feeding; the theory that plants can absorb nutrients through leaves, branches, stems, buds, fruits and even flowers as well as its root system. After years of trial and error, Mr. Follett perfected his gentle 8-8-8 liquid formula . . . a 256 to 1 concentrate of three major elements (nitrogen, phosphorus and potash) and five micronutrients (boron, copper, iron, manganese and zinc) plus his proprietary compound Fol-Ade® which contains eight ingredients that react on the elemental plant foods in the formula.
Since his death in 1992 at the age of 81, Mr. Follett’s grandson Phil Faustini has run the 50 year old family business. Few things have changed over the years. We’re still located on a farm a few miles from where the company started and the Watch Us Grow formula remains the same. We just don’t see any reason to tamper with something that works so darn well on everything — flowers, shrubs, trees, grasses, vegetables, fruits and house plants. Mr. Follett, known for his sense of humor, jokingly said in his later years, “why it works so well is my little secret, but I think plants grow up to get away from the stuff.” He did share his secret but only with his family. We’re glad he did. You will be, too.
