Overview
What It Is
19-19-19 is a premium all-purpose fertilizer with one of the highest balanced nutrient concentrations available. At 57% total nutrient content (19+19+19), it delivers significantly more nutrition per pound than lower-analysis blends like 10-10-10 (30% total) or 5-10-10 (25% total). This means less product needed per application, lower shipping costs per unit of nutrition, and fewer passes across the field.
The guaranteed analysis confirmed on the product label shows Total Nitrogen (N) at 19%, Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) at 19%, and Soluble Potash (K2O) at 19%. The balanced ratio makes it universally applicable — it won't push any single nutrient to excess, making it safe for a wide range of crops, soil types, and growth stages. Professional landscapers, commercial farmers, and serious home gardeners choose 19-19-19 when they need reliable, high-performance nutrition without the complexity of custom blends.

The universal balance of 19-19-19 makes it effective across virtually all plant types. Home gardeners use it for vegetable beds and flower gardens. Landscapers rely on it for lawn establishment and ornamental plantings. Farmers apply it to pastures, hay fields, and row crops. Wildlife managers use it for food plot establishment and maintenance. Its high analysis makes it especially cost-effective for large-area applications where lower-analysis products would require significantly more material.

Step by Step
How to Apply
1Soil Test
Test soil to confirm balanced nutrition is appropriate for your planting area. This equal-ratio formula is a versatile all-purpose option.
2Garden Rate
For gardens, apply 2–3 lbs per 100 sq ft, mixing into the top 6 inches of soil before planting.
3Large Area Rate
For food plots and large areas, broadcast 200–300 lbs per acre evenly using a spreader or broadcast seeder.
4Incorporate
Incorporate into soil with a tiller or harrow for best results. Surface-applied granules are less effective without incorporation.
5Spot Feeding
For spot feeding individual plants, apply 1–2 tablespoons per plant around the base, keeping granules off stems.
6Water In
Water thoroughly after application to dissolve granules and move nutrients into the root zone.
7Mid-Season Reapply
Reapply mid-season at 50–100 lbs per acre to maintain growth and sustain nutrient levels through harvest.
For home gardens, broadcast evenly over the bed and work into the soil before planting or side-dress established plants. For large-area applications like food plots and pastures, use a broadcast spreader calibrated to apply 200-300 lbs per acre. A mid-season maintenance application of 50-100 lbs per acre helps sustain growth through the season. Always avoid direct contact with plant stems and water in promptly after application.
Handling & Timing
Safety & Season
Safety & Storage
Store in a dry, covered area away from moisture. Keep bag sealed when not in use. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust — use gloves and a dust mask when spreading large quantities. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Seasonal Notes
Apply in spring at planting or green-up for best results. Summer applications sustain mid-season growth in actively growing crops. Fall applications benefit cool-season grasses and perennial plantings. Avoid winter application when plants are dormant and nutrients may leach.
In Context
How It Compares
19-19-19 delivers nearly double the nutrient concentration of 10-10-10 per pound, making it more economical for large areas. Compared to 5-10-10, it provides almost four times the nitrogen — better for general growth but potentially too much N for fruiting crops like tomatoes where the 5-10-10 is preferred. Unlike organic alternatives, this synthetic blend provides immediate nutrient availability — critical for fast-establishing food plots and commercial applications where timing matters.
Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 19-19-19 fertilizer?
19-19-19 is a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen (19%), phosphorus (19%), and potassium (19%). This high-analysis formula delivers nearly twice the nutrient concentration of a standard 10-10-10, meaning you need less product per application to achieve the same results. It is suitable for virtually any plant type, including vegetables, flowers, lawns, shrubs, trees, food plots, and field crops. The equal N-P-K balance supports complete plant development — from foliage and roots to flowering and fruiting. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Growth 19-19-19 Fertilizer is a premium multi-purpose option for gardeners, farmers, and landscapers.
When should I apply 19-19-19 fertilizer?
Apply 19-19-19 fertilizer during active growth periods for best results. For gardens and lawns, apply in early spring when plants resume growth and again in mid-season as needed. For food plots, apply before seeding and incorporate into the soil. For container plants, use a diluted solution every 2–4 weeks during the growing season. Because 19-19-19 is a high-analysis fertilizer, apply at lower rates than you would with 10-10-10 to avoid over-fertilization. Always water thoroughly after application. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Growth 19-19-19 Fertilizer is designed for easy application and consistent performance season after season.
Is 19-19-19 good for food plots?
Yes, 19-19-19 is one of the most popular fertilizers for wildlife food plots. Its balanced, high-analysis formula supports rapid growth of both grasses and legumes — the two most common food plot plant types. Apply 200–300 pounds per acre, broadcasting evenly and incorporating into the soil with a tiller or harrow before seeding. The balanced nutrition promotes lush foliage, strong root systems, and dense ground cover that attracts and sustains wildlife through the season. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Growth Wildlife Deer Plot Fertilizer uses this same proven 19-19-19 formula optimized for food plot performance.
What is the difference between 19-19-19 and 10-10-10 fertilizer?
Both 19-19-19 and 10-10-10 are balanced fertilizers with equal N-P-K ratios, but they differ in concentration. 19-19-19 contains nearly twice the nutrient density per pound, meaning you need roughly half the amount of product to deliver the same nutrition. This makes 19-19-19 more economical for larger applications like food plots and farm fields. 10-10-10 is often preferred for home gardens and sensitive plantings where a gentler application rate is desired. Both work on the same types of plants. Old Cobblers Farm™ offers both formulas — choose 19-19-19 for high-efficiency coverage and 10-10-10 for general home garden use.
How much 19-19-19 fertilizer per acre for food plots?
For food plots, apply 200–300 pounds of 19-19-19 fertilizer per acre. This delivers approximately 38–57 pounds each of actual nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Broadcast the fertilizer evenly over the plot area and incorporate into the top 4–6 inches of soil using a tiller, harrow, or disc before seeding. For maintenance applications on established food plots, reapply 50–100 pounds per acre mid-season to sustain growth. Always adjust rates based on soil test results for best performance. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Growth 19-19-19 Fertilizer is trusted by hunters and land managers for productive, thriving food plots.
Can I use 19-19-19 fertilizer on my vegetable garden?
Yes, 19-19-19 is an effective choice for vegetable gardens. Its balanced formula supports every stage of vegetable growth — leafy development, root establishment, flowering, and fruit production. Because of its higher nutrient concentration, use lower application rates than you would with 10-10-10. For garden beds, apply 1–2 pounds per 100 square feet and mix into the top 6 inches of soil. For spot feeding, use 1 tablespoon per plant. Water thoroughly after application. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Growth 19-19-19 Fertilizer provides premium, balanced nutrition for any vegetable garden.
Is 19-19-19 fertilizer good for lawns?
Yes, 19-19-19 can be used on lawns, though it is a higher-analysis fertilizer than typical lawn products, so application rates should be adjusted accordingly. Apply 3–5 pounds per 1,000 square feet to deliver approximately 0.6–1.0 pounds of actual nitrogen. It is particularly useful for establishing new lawns or renovating thin, nutrient-depleted turf. For routine maintenance, a lower-analysis or nitrogen-focused fertilizer may be more cost-effective. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Growth 19-19-19 Fertilizer delivers balanced, complete nutrition that works across lawns, gardens, farms, and landscapes.
