We've been using AgroThrive General Purpose Fertilizer in all our backyard garden plots for several years and couldn't be happier with the results. We use it in a variety of ways to feed our plants and our soil biology, resulting in healthier plants and more bountiful harvests. The concentrated liquid formula is easy to mix and easy to apply to plants in our raised beds and in-ground garden plots.
AgroThrive fertilizer includes a "pre-digested" formula derived from corn steep liquor and fish by-products. This biologically-active formula is readily available to plants after each application and will begin to stimulate growth in just a few days. Simply mix 2-4 ounces of AgroThrive General Purpose per gallon of water and pour around the base of your garden plants. See below for more detailed application instructions.
Growing Vegetable and Flower Transplants
We're big believers in using AgroThrive General Purpose Fertilizer grow vegetable and flower transplants for the backyard garden. The organic formula feeds our seedlings as they grow into mature transplants, creating a strong root system and a transplant that's ready to hit the ground running. We usually start applying AgroThrive General Purpose shortly after seedlings emerge in seed starting trays, and continue feeding at least 3-4 times a week as they grow.
Feeding Plants As They Grow
We use AgroThrive General Purpose to feed a variety of vegetable plants including corn, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, greens, onions, peppers, potatoes, spinach, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, and more! For smaller plantings, we'll mix 2-4 ounces of AgroThrive per gallon of water in a 5 gallon bucket. We'll then use a pitcher to apply it to the soil around our plants. For larger plantings, we'll inject AgroThrive General Purpose Fertilizer through an overhead sprinkler or our drip irrigation system.

Unlike traditional organic fertilizers, which rely on soil microbes to slowly break down raw organic matter before any of it becomes available to your plants, AgroThrive fertilizers arrive already broken down through a natural fermentation process. That means there's no waiting around for soil biology to catch up — the nutrients are pre-digested and ready to feed your plants the moment they hit the soil.
AgroThrive is made from corn steep liquor and fish by-products, two nutrient-dense inputs that supply a broad spectrum of amino acids, micronutrients, and organic compounds plants need to thrive. What sets it apart is its balance of release rates: about 70% fast release paired with 30% slow release. The fast-release portion gives your plants an immediate, noticeable boost right after fertilizing, so you're not left wondering whether it's working. The remaining slow-release portion kicks in over time, continuing to feed your plants steadily as they grow rather than delivering all its nutrition in one short burst.
Beyond feeding the plant directly, AgroThrive also feeds the soil itself. As it breaks down, it supports and builds a thriving population of beneficial soil microbes, creating a more dynamic, living soil ecosystem around the root zone. A healthier soil biology doesn't just mean better nutrient availability over time — it also makes your plants naturally more resilient, better equipped to fend off common pests and diseases on their own. In short, AgroThrive feeds both the plant and the soil it grows in, giving you fast results now and healthier, more resilient growth down the road.
AgroThrive works great when growing your own vegetable transplants for the backyard garden. We use it on everything in our greenhouse and our transplants have strong, healthy root systems as a result.
Mix 1 ounce of AgroThrive per gallon of water in a watering can or pump sprayer and gently apply to plants 3-4 times a week as the seedlings are growing. If applying directly overhead, splash the leaves with a little water after each application. This will prevent any of the fertilizer residue from burning the leaves if it's too hot inside your greenhouse or seed starting room.
AgroThrive can be used as a pre-plant fertilizer to "charge" the soil and provide some initial nutrients for germinated seedlings or transplants.
Simply mix 2 ounces of AgroThrive per gallon of water and apply to the area that will be planted. This can be done via a watering can, a bucket, or a hose end sprayer.
AgroThrive works great for "spoon-feeding" plants in your backyard garden. This simply means to give your plants small concentrations of nutrients at frequent intervals. It works well with a variety of vegetables, but works especially well for fruiting plants like tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and watermelons.
Mix 4 ounces of AgroThrive per gallon of water in a watering can or 5 gallon bucket and gently pour onto the soil around your plants. Do this every 2-3 weeks as plants grow for best results.
You can also use a hose end sprayer, siphon mixer, or injector to apply AgroThrive through an overhead sprinkler, watering wand, or drip irrigation system. A good general rule of thumb is to use 8 to 12 ounces of AgroThrive per 1,000 sq. ft. plot when using these techniques.
*If injecting AgroThrive through a drip irrigation system, be sure to clean your irrigation filter before and after injecting. This will prevent the filter from clogging and reducing water flow through your irrigation system.
