I purchased a 4 lbs bag of Fox Farm's Happy Frog (7-4-5) for $9.50 from Worm's Way, and I am in the trial phase. I really like its content: Feather meal, bone meal, fish meal, fish bone meal, sulfate of potash magnesia, blood meal, alfalfa meal, bat guano, kelp meal and gypsum with mycorrhizae. Product has 5.25% of Ca and 0.79% of water-soluble Mg. The package I have doesn't have humic acid in it, but I think later they changed its formula to have this ingredient, too. The list of non-plant ingredients as it is given on the back of the package:
Mycorrhizae content - Glomus intraradices - Glomus aggregatum - Glomus mosseae - Glomus entunicatum - Laccaria bicolor - Laccaria laccata - Pisolithus tinctorius - Rhizopogon villosuli - Rhizopogon amylopogon - Rhizopogon fulvigleba - Rhizopogon luteolus - Scleroderma cepa - Scleroderma geastrum - Scleroderma citrinum - Suillus granulatus Bacterial specifications - Bacillus amyloliquefaciens - Bacillus licheniformis - Bacillus subtilis - Bacillus pumilus - Bacillus megaterium Anybody tried Happy Frog before? If so, what is your experience with it? I also have a bag of Fox Farm's Marine Cuisine (10-7-7) time release fertilizer (purchased for $13.50) that is an organic/inorganic product and that I look forward to trying. |

WOW Chance you are at front of Organic Fertilizer here, I hope i am just behind you. Epsoma sent me these in 20lb bags free last week by UPS of Plant -Tone, Garden Tone, Holly-Tone, Organic potting mix,and 2 disease and insect spray bottles, The Plant/Garden bags are different bags than the ones on there website i will post a photo here today the corner has Micro-Tone written on these 2 bags. So it looks like Micro will be in other fertilize soon of their bags. I see that the Bio-Tone Plus starter fertilizer now has great reviews everywhere. Every pepper, 14 plants, and Tomato 16 plants had a handful in each hole with my compost this spring, growth looking interesting now.
I am a commercial Photographer and showed Epsoma the antique wheelbarrow and asked them if they wanted any shots of this with there bags. I had contact with someone there because i won a box from them last summer. I posted my garden shots from early June to late July and posted photos on there facebook page. If you go there now you will see my 6 shot with the wheelbarrow. Keep me in touch Steve |

On Big Pumpkins. com they have discussed Happy Frog many times.
It seems that many growers have spent hundreds of dollars to use it in large growing areas that are needed to grow Atlantic Giant pumpkins. Julia
