Most starter fertilizers just feed. Bio-tone Starter Plus does that and inoculates the root zone with living mycorrhizal fungi, a plant-fungus partnership proven to drive deeper roots, bigger blooms, and significantly faster establishment in the first season. If you are investing in plants, this is the easiest insurance policy you can buy.
