Dear Gardening Friend,
Fall is an excellent time to grow fresh salads and vegetables in your GrowBoxes™. With the cooler weather and little chance of a heat wave or surprise frost, many crops are easier to grow and tastier than spring vegetables.
Zone 5 fall gardening can also be a great time to plant cool season crops for one last harvest before winter. Zone 5 usually has a first frost date of mid-October. In late August-early September, you can plant a garden of cool season plants to harvest just before winter rears its ugly head.

Here's How to Re-Plant your GrowBoxes™ this Fall  
 
  
If you want to replant for a new fall season here is a step by step on how to replant. You can even reuse the same soil!
 
  1. USE THE SAME SOIL. Your potting mix gets better and better every year. There's no need to replace it. Discard the old Nutrient Patch and mix up the top 5 inches of soil with t he remaining fertilizer.
  2. PULL OR CUT OFF THE OLD PLANTS JUST BELOW THE SOIL. They'll decompose and add organic nutrients to you soil.
  3. ADD OUR DOLOMITE TO THE SOIL. Dolomite "sweetens" the soil for healthier crops. Mix it in with the top 5 inches of your potting mix.
  4. USE A FRESH NUTRIENT PATCH. Your old Nutrient Patch is totally spent. Even though there's some granular remains on top of the potting mix, your plants have gobbled-up what they needed to thrive. A fresh Nutrient Patch for every planting is the only way to guarantee another bumper harvest.
 

We're shipping fresh Nutrient Patch's and Dolomite kits right now for your Fall garden.

Feed Your Plants Properly!
Why Use Genuine GrowBox™ Nutrient Patch™ Fertilizer?
Because it works the best - period. No other fertilizer is formulated just for container gardens like yours. No other fertilizer is specially blended to give your plants exactly what they want, when they need it.

GrowBox™ Nutrient Patches™ provide unlimited nutrients for an entire season with just one application. Plus we've eliminated (99.5%) of the plant-damaging salts found in most other fertilizers. Organic Nutrient Patches™ are available now too! Don't take chances with low-quality "blue water" fertilizers-use the best to insure your easy growing success.
Black Spots on Your Tomatoes or Peppers?
How To Avoid Those Black Spots!
Most Potting Mixes are formulated using Sphagmum Peat moss. Sphagnum is naturally very acidic, with a pH of 3.5-4.5. (High acidity means the same as low pH.) which causes the nutrients to be "locked" into the mix and unavailable to your plants.Tomato and Pepper plants prefer a pH of 6.0 to 6.8.

If you saw black spots on the bottom of your tomatoes or peppers last spring, they most likely had blossom end rot because your plant wasn't able to get the calcium it needed.  

We now have Organic Soil Sweetener and Blossom End Rot Block.

 Our Dolomite affects the pH and "sweetens" the potting mix and allows your plants to get all the nutrients they need - and packs a whopping punch of calcium for tomatoes. Best of all, it's not just for Tomatoes, and Peppers, all of your vegetables will benefit from the correct pH level.

One of the most innovative plant support systems in history, our Support Cages connect right to your GrowBox™ and can be added at any stage of your plants life. Unlike stakes that go in the ground, our Support Cage can be moved right along with your GrowBox™ if you need to chase the sun around your yard. Click here to see how we've improved the design and how easy they are to use and place your order.
