- 4-7-9 Granular Fertilizer
- Added Calcium & Sulfur
- Slow-Release
- Covers 1,250 sq ft
Vegetable Fertilizer 4-7-9 by HyR BRIX provides steady feeding for the whole garden. The 4-7-9 formula supports flowering and fruiting, and includes calcium and sulfur to help overall plant function through the season. It’s a dry granular, slow-release blend with added micronutrients and soil-building ingredients, designed to be worked into the soil so nutrients sit where roots can reach them. We love it for mixed vegetable beds and herb gardens because it feeds everything from leafy greens to fruiting crops in one pass.
This fertilizer is meant to be applied across a bed before planting when possible, but it can be used any time during the growing season if plants start showing stress. Just keep it out of planting holes and off seeds and stems to avoid salt burn.

- Row planting rate: 10 lb per 100-ft row (or about 1 cup per 5 ft in a 1-ft wide band), and work into soil.
- Individual plants: apply 3/4 cup in a 2-ft radius, kept 2–4" away from the stem, and work in.
- Don’t place in the planting hole, on seed, on roots, against stems, or on foliage.
