Farmers Favorite 6-12-12 Multi-Purpose Fertilizer

Give your crops, gardens, and food plots the ultimate root-boosting foundation with Farmers Favorite 6-12-12 Fertilizer. This premium, low-nitrogen granular formula is packed with double the phosphorus and potassium, making it the ideal choice for plants that need strong root systems, heavy flowering, and rugged stress tolerance rather than excessive top-heavy foliage.

It is highly recommended for root crops (like potatoes, carrots, and turnips), legumes (such as peas, beans, and clover food plots that produce their own nitrogen), and as a fall winterizer to harden lawns and perennials against freezing temperatures.

Key Features & Benefits

High Phosphorus & Potassium Ratio: The 1-2-2 formula focuses energy downward into root development and outward into fruit, seed, and flower production rather than forcing rapid, weak top-growth.

Perfect for Legumes & Clovers: Since peas, beans, peanuts, and clovers naturally fix their own nitrogen from the air, this low-nitrogen, high-PK blend provides the exact nutrients they actually need without wasting money on unneeded nitrogen.

Excellent Root Crop & Tuber Performance: Delivers the heavy dose of phosphorus required to grow large, firm, and healthy potatoes, onions, carrots, and turnips.

Fall & Winterizing Strength: High potassium levels strengthen plant cell walls, helping lawns, turf, and winter food plots better withstand drought, disease, and freezing winter temperatures.

Uniform, Easy-to-Spread Granules: Formulated to flow smoothly through agricultural, drop, or broadcast spreaders for a consistent, even application.

Guaranteed Analysis

Total Nitrogen (N): 6% — Delivers a controlled, gentle feeding for early growth without causing excessive, leggy vine growth.

Available Phosphate ( $P_2O_5$ ): 12% — Stimulates deep, aggressive root systems and abundant blooms.

Soluble Potash ( $K_2O$ ): 12% — Increases overall plant hardiness, stalk strength, and resistance to environmental stress or drought.

Recommended Usage & Application

Vegetable Gardens: Broadcast evenly over the soil and lightly till or rake it into the top 2–3 inches of soil before planting. For established rows, side-dress lightly along the plant rows.

Food Plots & Pastures: Apply using a calibrated broadcast spreader based on soil test recommendations, ideally right before a light rain to help wash the nutrients directly into the root zone.

Pro Tip: For maximum efficiency, apply to dry foliage to prevent any granular burn, and water thoroughly immediately following application.
