Natural Mineral Fertilizers – Micro-Nutrient Mix

The Mittleider Magic natural mineral nutrients are essential plant foods, mixed in a balanced formula to give your plants just what they need for fast and healthy growth.  And the Micro-Nutrients are the part everyone else leaves out!  This is the LYNCH PIN – the KEY to a great garden in any soil – get yours today, right here!!  We’re happy to reduce the price a bit, as wholesale costs have improved somewhat – Get Multiple Years’ Supply NOW, while you can!

The micro-nutrients are ESSENTIAL PLANT NUTRIENTS, and every plant in your garden must have them to be healthy!  They are to be used as a part of the complete, balanced Mittleider Magic Weekly Feed Mix that is the best fertilizer for the family garden available anywhere.

They are pre-packaged, so the only other things you have to buy are Epsom Salts at your pharmacy and a bag of 16-16-16 or similar N,P,K blend at your garden shop or nursery. Then mix according to the simple instructions, and you have a good Weekly Feed mix! And for a simple Pre-Plant mix, just add proper amounts of lime or gypsum, Epsom Salts, and 20 Mule Team Borax in a ratio of 80-4-1 (see Fertilizers in the Mittleider Gardening Course).

Mix one 10 oz. package of Micro-Nutrients with 4 lbs. of Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) and 25 lbs. of 13-13-13, 15-15-15, 16-16-16, or 19-19-19 to make your own Weekly-Feed.

Do you live outside of Utah and Idaho (the pre-packaged Weekly Feed and Pre-Plant mixes are available at The Steve Regan Company & True Leaf Market in Utah, and at Sunnyside Gardens in Idaho Falls, Idaho)? Most people do, and shipping is expensive! The Micro-Mix is a good solution that will let you make your own Weekly Feed Mix easily and inexpensively, without the hassle of buying all 13 ingredients!

We have had to increase the cost for the first time in several years, due to substantial increases in the price we pay for the raw materials.  However, while not inconsequential, it is very small when compared to the value created in your garden.  Like seeds, the return is multiplied many fold.

For example, 20 ounces of Micro-Nutrients become 60 pounds of Weekly Feed when mixed according to instructions.  This will feed 210 tomato plants for the entire growing season, and those plants can produce 2 1/2 to 3 TONS of tomatoes.

Kenyon 2-Way Hoe Head

A strong 12″ or 14″ garden rake, a round-headed shovel, and a good hoe are the only garden tools needed to grow a great Mittleider vegetable garden. The first 2 are easy to find most anywhere in the developed countries.

The right hoe is harder to find, however, and in our experience the 2-way hoe (also known as a hula hoe, stirrup hoe, or scuffle hoe) is the best type for several reasons, which are discussed at length in the FAQ section.

While most brands will bend, nick, and wear out quickly, only one hoe measures up to our standards, and with proper care the Kenyon 2-way hoe should last for years in your garden. We only sell the head in order to save on shipping costs. By checking with Kenyon you may be able to find the complete hoe at a store near you. We recommend you get a good RAKE handle – the big box stores have them for about $8.50.  They are longer, giving you a better reach and leverage, and they are stronger than typical hoe handles.

“Thank you for selling the hoe heads along with the fertilizer bags. We just happened to have extra hoe handles in our garage, and it was easy to attach.

My main problem last year was weeds, and this hoe was a wonderful solution. I have my 5 beds raked into place now and irrigation pipes ready. Every time I go into the garden I take the hoe and drag it along the dirt to cut off the baby weeds.

It is so wonderfully easy…just like sweeping with a broom. As long as you don’t give the weeds a chance to get big, then it is really simple to keep them under control. Of course, I did not know that last year, but now I GOT IT! I’ve even been using it along the fence line instead of a weed eater machine. Fantastic!”

Canned Gardening Seeds

Do you want to store or plant high quality non-hybrid open pollinated seeds year after year? Now you can harvest your own seeds for future plantings!

Non-hybrid open pollinated seeds provide true-to-variety seeds to replant for future harvests, while hybrid seeds do not reproduce true to variety.

And this is the best thing we’ve found anywhere! The same quantity of seed from other sources would most likely cost you between $100 and $150. This triple-sealed Perpetual Garden gives you more seeds for your money.
