Moon Valley Nurseries Guide: Moon Green Plant Nutrient

Written by Jessica Downs | 3/13/20 5:00 PM

Moon Green™ is a custom-made nutrient supplement specially made for landscapes in our region and is the perfect solution to bring your landscape back to life. You can use Moon Green on all trees, palms, citrus and fruit, shrubs, grass, and more! 

 

Moon Green is perfect for plants suffering from iron chlorosis, a common cause of yellowing leaves. It also is perfect for treating high soil alkalinity, which leads to anemic foliage, low fertilizer functionality, and weak growth. 

 

This nutrient supplement is designed to gradually bring alkaline soils to a more optimal, slightly acidic PH. The acidification also loosens clay-type soils and improves drainage. Moreover, acidification helps your plant utilize existing soil nutrients more efficiently. 

 

 

Benefits of Moon Green

  • Acidifies soil, reducing the alkalinity
  • Helps all nutrients become more readily available
  • Aids in the break-up and loosening of clay soils, which improves drainage
  • Provides instant Iron and Zinc for rapid greening
  • Initiates reversal of Iron Chlorosis (yellowing foliage)

 

 

 

How Moon Green Works

Moon Green benefits all trees and plants on many levels. It provides acidification, which, once your soil reaches an ideal, slightly acidic PH, allows nearly all macro and micro nutrients to be released and available for uptake into the tree or plant.  

 

Next, the included Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) take effect rapidly. Iron provides greening power, and Zinc is critical for producing enzymes essential for photosynthesis.  Zinc is vital for fruit and nut trees as it triggers flower production, which means a higher fruit yield!  

 

Finally, we’ve included patented Furst®-Class Concentrate which contains vegetable proteins and amino acids. This blend initiates a burst of growth, allowing the plant to take full advantage of the benefits Moon Green provides. 

 

 

How to Use Moon Green

Moon Green is easy to incorporate into your gardening and landscape care routine and should be used monthly for best results. Shake the jug well before mixing it with water. Mix Moon Green with water at a rate of four ounces per one gallon of water. We recommend mixing in a large bucket or watering container to reduce spills and waste. Water thoroughly after applying the mixture.  

 

Moon Green Instructions for Use:

For shrubs, apply 1 to 2 gallons of the Moon Green and water mixture to the root area. 

For lawn/garden areas, use a sprayer and apply the mixture evenly at a rate of one 1 gallon per 500 square feet. 

For trees and palms, apply 3 to 6 gallons of the mixture to the root area.
