Five Star Reviews: | 70% From yellowing sad/sick looking leaves to FRUIT! Hooray! September 23, 2016 We bought a fixer upper house a year ago. Shortly after moving in my mother in law spotted a kumquat tree in the woods that looked like it had been dumped out of it's pot when the previous owners moved. I was excited but unsure if I repotted it if I could salvage it. But I tried. I got a large pot, planted it and moved it to the sunroom where I cared for it and ensured it had plenty of water and sun. It never died, but never looked amazing either. Then the leaves started to get yellow patches and it looked so sad and sick. So what did I do? I combed Amazon, of course! I applied this one time around the perimeter and after a week or so it started looking lovely. Then a bit later it bloomed...and now we see tiny fruit! Hooray! Now want more citrus trees for my sunroom and I'll be sure they all get some of this! Updated!! AMAZING growth! September 14, 2016 Update!!!I am going to post a picture of my lemon tree, and you are not going to believe your eyes! The transformation that this tree has made since I started using this last year is seriously almost unbelievable. The size of the lemons that have started growing are so big, it's as if the tree is on steroids! lol if this doesn't make you wanna buy this fertilizer like I did, nothing will. I tell everyone I know because I live in the desert heat, and this thing has performed something slightly short of a miracle. LOVE IT!I purchased this based on reviews I read as our lemon tree wasn't doing so well. Soon after sprinkling on the drip line, it grew a lot and had lush green leaves, which was a nice surprise as they had started to drop off and curl prior. Happy customer! Lemon trees get hungry. August 15, 2016 When I planted my Meyer lemon tree almost three years ago it produced lemons the first year. The next year it produced none.It dawned on me maybe the plant needed help.I bought these spikes in the early Spring to use with a Meyer Lemon tree that I have in my yard. Last year it did not have any lemons.. I found this product at a reasonable price with clear, simple directions so I decided to give it a try. There may be other factors involved that I do not recognize but the tree has forty or fifty green lemons that are about the size of medium eggs. I know I have to wait ill late fall to see the lemons ripen but I have hope. Oranges, Tangerines, Lemons and Limes Very Happy July 16, 2016 I have potted citrus trees, eight of them in fact. I used this for the first time this year and am very impressed. Within a few days of the first application I noted the plants perking up, even though they were still indoors. Now, they're fruiting and blooming in such a way I've never seen before.I like the granular because I can control it for pots -- most citrus fertilizers are for outdoor, in ground trees. Oh, it stinks for a while (that's because it' organic), but an hour or so of aroma until it gets into the soil is well worth the boost in health and vitality. ... of other fertilizers in the past and nothing works like this stuff July 21, 2015 I have been using a mix of other fertilizers in the past and nothing works like this stuff. My Meyer Lemon tree has exploded with growth and it's only been a week. It works with everything else I have planted as well. My only regret is not buying it sooner Crack for My Meyer Lemon! April 27, 2013 Within 5 days of using this on my Meyer Lemon it was literally exploding with blooms and has grown at least 6" since. I've only used it the one time about a month ago and the Lemon tree is still happy as a clam on this stuff. I'm looking forward to many lemons! | 73% Amazing! June 19, 2017 I used this on my garden after planting. I started most of my veggies in solo cups but I started my seeds later than I normally would have so they were on the small side. I sprinkled this over my whole garden as per directions and gave it a good watering. About 2 days later all of my plants started to thrive like crazy! I was actually worried that there was some sort of miracle grow hidden in the ingredients so I had to check, but nope! I highly recommend this stuff. Jobe's All Purpose Fertilizer April 28, 2017 I bought three of all purpose ones and one for Hydrangea. I have used this all purpose one just once around all my garden plants, and within 2 weeks they are making the difference. My plants include Cherry tree (still very young), lavenders, Japanese ma[les, Peony, Lilies, clematis, Love-in-a -mist, Salvia, Amelia, Calla, Blueberries, and many other garden herbs. The leaves are more elect and stems look more strong also. Hydrangea one was also put around my three different varieties of Hydrangea (see separate review). They are recommended to be used every 2 weeks or so. I was quite surprised to see such changes in just 14 days, and I hurried to order two more of the all purpose and now wanted to try Rose one and just ordered. I like the product comes in moisture proof bags because I ... May 25, 2016 I like the product comes in moisture proof bags because I store it outside in humid climate. It smells "authentic". It tends to attract flies due to the smell, but the veggies are in heaven. We are loaded with tomatoes even though we have poor sandy soil and did not prepare properly for the garden by amending the texture. We have had minimal losses mainly due to wildlife. I supply this with organic compost, but since this is our first real garden we were undersupplied. It is easy to apply evenly due to fine texture. I believe I will be purchasing again when I run out of the current supply stock. A must have in my garden November 3, 2015 I don't have the best soil so I definitely work this into beds before planting.I read one reviewer say they treated this like "snack food" for their plants so I tried the same thing. Great results! You can definitely see a difference when the tomatoes and flowers get a little "snack food" as the entire plant becomes more lush and more flower heads start to pop up on the sunflowers.If you have a dog be aware. Our dogs think that this stuff smells amazing and they used to try to climb into our self watering containers to get to it. My plants THRIVE on this stuff! March 12, 2015 This fertilizer is AMAZING and I love that it's organic. I use this in my container garden. I have a tomato plant that grew to 6-feet tall in a 4-inch pot with this. I had some other plants that were dying, some that were staying really small, and others that just wouldn't produce much, but 1 week after giving them this, they all looked healthy, doubled in size, and started producing veggies :). Can't go wrong with it! Next I'm going to try using it with the new hydroponics system I built. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 15% Works well on Meyer lemon tree August 4, 2017 This arrived quickly and mostly worked as expected. For my meyer lemon tree, this has really made it happy and thrive. We followed the directions on the bag for mixing and had good results. Recommended. For my avocado tree (citrus fertilizer recommended), I have not seen any noticeable difference in using this fertilizer. Will buy again. Quality fertilizer with good consistency and minimal dust. Right on my front porch. What's not to like? May 26, 2017 Just used my first batch, so I can't comment on results, although I've never had any issues with Jobe's. I've tried other brands of organic fertilizer and found them to have a lot of messy dust. When combined with the lovely fragrance of organic fertilizer, applying them left my yard and myself smelling a bit ripe. Oh, Jobe's will still leave your yard smelling like a chicken coop, but the consistency of the product mean less of it blowing around applying it. Hardly any dust at all--the granules/pellets were hard and consistent, making it easier to apply uniformly by hand under my trees. Watering after application really cuts the smell down and makes better neighbors. Sturdy bag. Glad to find this on Amazon at a competitive price. At my age and in my health, no longer having to haul the fertilizer from the store shelf to the store counter, to my truck, and to my garage is a delight. It is delivered right to my front porch. Is life great, or what? Great in basic citrus care March 28, 2017 My potted meyer lemon tree needed some help and this fertilizer was just what it needed. Yes, it's smelly, but it dissipates quickly. I bought the bag over a year and half ago, and using it sparingly, my tree is still one happy plant. I did have to buy some iron as an amendment at some point, so keep in mind this isn't a cure-all, but a good start in citrus care. Moral of the story: this stuff is amazing for plants but bad for animals so store it up high. October 14, 2016 This stuff is a miracle for our indoor lemon tree. My husband has wanted a lemon tree for years and I found one in a nursery recently and bought it as a surprise. He was so excited but soon became quite worried about it when it seemed somewhat unbappy (leaves turning yellow and falling off like crazy!) After doing some research I ordered this stuff and now people come over and are like "This thing is awesome!!! How do you keep it so happy?!" We've kept the tree alive for almost a year and will soon be able to harvest some lemons (these lemons have been growing for EIGHT MONTHS and my husband is insanely excited about this success).The down side to this fertilizer is that the dogs are obsessed with it. Apparently it smells amazing to dogs and our dogs did get the bag once and got pretty sick. Lots of vomitting and other unsavory stomach problems for about 24 hours. After we realized that they had gotten into it we began frantically googling and found that organic fertilizer is actually MORE poisonous to pets because some of the ingredients are not processed and thus more potent.Moral of the story: this stuff is amazing for plants but bad for animals so store it up high. My tree is very happy! May 30, 2016 I have a brand new lime tree addition to my garden and caring for citrus is new to me this year. In my zone, citrus has to be in containers because we have cold winters and the citrus will not survive if they are not brought indoors. Proper fertilizing for container trees is crucial since they have no way to pull anything from the ground.I decided on the Jobes Organic fertilizer and thus far and very happy with it! I followed the directions and added the correct amount for my little tree. After about 3 weeks my tree has put out tons of new leaves and is loaded with flower buds. I will fertilize again in mid summer when I have tiny fruit.I'm very happy with this product and will continue to use it. Smells terrible, works great! June 5, 2013 We used this to fertilize our orange and Meyer lemon trees. Seems to work great. We applied to our "sicker" orange tree to give it a boost (more yellow leaves, more sour fruit compared to our other orange tree). 2 weeks later, all the yellow leaves are gone and the tree looks "better" than the "healthier" tree. We used 1.5 cups (used an old yogurt cup to dish it out & kept the yogurt cup in the bag) per tree (two orange trees with 2-inch trunks/14ft tall. our Meyer is only 1yr old and maybe 1inch trunk/2ft tall)This stuff, as other have noted, smells terrible, but hey, it is organic. Like, death plus rotting plus wet dog. We actually were going to ask our duplex neighbors to wash their dog, because we thought the fetid smell was coming from their poor pooch, until we realized it was the tree in our front yard that smelled like it needed a bath! The smell goes away after a week or so. Once sealed, the bag doesn't smell (we keep it in the house). Wash your hands after using or wear gloves, and use a semi-disposable scoop (not your baking measuring cups).Minus one star because the bag design could be a little better (zip close is a little flimsy) and I wish it came with a scoop and better directions (eg if it should be used monthly, bimonthly, etc). | 16% Great Smelly Fertilizer September 6, 2016 Appears to work well. If you are concerned about the smell it stays in the bag for the most part. I did not notice once I applied it to the plants. Good results despite uneven application November 29, 2015 The fertilizer works well, and the bag will last a long time. Overall very good.My only problem is that, because you use relatively little- and because it doesn't dissolve in water, I found it hard to distribute the product evenly. My veggies didn't seem to mind and perked up right away. Peppers with leaves that were turning pale green even started regaining color.It does not smell good, but the smell doesn't stick around after you finish using it. Not great, but no real problem unless you are very sensitive to smells.My take- Go for it, it's a good value and I saw good results, just don't try to put it in your watering can. ... a small vegetable and herbs garden and it works great! July 21, 2014 We used this for a small vegetable and herbs garden and it works great! A good soil additive May 2, 2014 The key to using this is that it must be mixed in with the soil. It's a simple fertilizer that is ideal for long-term soil investment and soil cultivation, intended to create a sustainable nutrient balance with ideal moisture conditions, with the intended goal of assisting other soil treatment options. I've added azomite, Mycorrhizae Fungi, earthworm castings, sphagnum moss, and liquid kelp to organic garden soil and it seems to be working for the most part. The secret is getting ideal soil moisture and watering consistency to help sustain organic biodiversity and consistent decomposition. You may also notice that the nutrients you are adding a pretty mild, though that seems to be expected of organic. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 6% It is just okay for right now.... March 13, 2017 Well, I would like to say everything jumped out of the pot after I had applied it but it didn't - but I don't know if it was my fault or the fertilizer - I am trying to grown a Lemon Tree - for the winter indoors - and it is having a bad time - I bought the fertilizer - applied it - and it has done nothing except lose more leaves everyday - that might be because it is so dry in the house - or that it hates the fertilizer - I will try some more in the few weeks and see if things change - but I don't notice the smell that others complained about so that is good. SMELLS so bad! October 7, 2016 I cannot stress enough how much this SMELLS LIKE POOP! Maybe because that's the main ingredient? I used this on my indoor lemon tree and when I came home the next day my entire apartment smelled soooo bad! Who knows how long it will last. But the odor is very bad. Assuming the fertilizer will work ok based on other reviews. Just sayin' if you use indoors be prepared. No change October 29, 2015 I can't say what killed my lemon tree. Me, soil, too much sun? I transferred it to new soil and it died practically right in front of my eyes. I can tell you it wasn't this fertilizer, since I had used it about a month prior and the tree remained unchanged. Which is why I gave it three stars. It clearly didn't benefit my tree. But the thing had been in declining health probably from the start. Note to plant growing novices: don't start with citrus in the northwest. Unsure cuz since using it on my Meyer lemon tree ... August 5, 2015 Unsure cuz since using it on my Meyer lemon tree, the leaves are turning yellow. Not sure if it's this fertilizer or something else. | 6% It took me a long time to pour the recommended amount into each hold before planting and to sprinkle ... July 18, 2017 This fertilizer takes much more effort than miracle grow or other liquid plant foods. It also has a strong unpleasant smell. It took me a long time to pour the recommended amount into each hold before planting and to sprinkle around the base of existing plants. But my plants do look nice and healthy since using it. I'm sure it's a great product but just warning that it takes more effort than others. but formed a disgusting cloud of pretty noxious smell/chemicals that made me have ... August 6, 2016 Not sure how many stars to give. Too soon to see how product works, but a word of caution...was packaged poorly and with no space between sealing tape and product. As a result, cutting open box opened the front side of top bag even though i was careful. Tried to pour into a container, but formed a disgusting cloud of pretty noxious smell/chemicals that made me have to leave the room and created a gross sediment layer on my counter. Be careful, and handle as a hazardous chemical. I really like the jobes fertilizer spikes April 19, 2016 I really like the jobes fertilizer spikes, but this one didn't really do it for me. My plants grew a little more, but when I used Fox Farm "Big Bloom" my plants grew 4 inches in one night. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 4% No peaches for me :( June 8, 2017 It was easy to use, but my peaches were no bigger than a golf ball when they all fell off the tree. I was hoping this would help grow better fruit. Terrible smell May 8, 2017 We have our citrus plant indoors when we used this fertilizer. It smells terrible! My clue should have been fertilizer. Purchased this for my citrus trees. I live in ... January 22, 2017 Purchased this for my citrus trees. I live in southern GA and it seemed to have no affect on my plants. I have 3 Citurs, 2 Apple, 3 pear, and 4 peach trees. None of them seem to benefited from this fertalizer. Must not be good for lemon trees February 28, 2016 Got this for my lemon tree. Followed the measurements properly but none of the lemons grew past the size of a grape. Most of them fell off and there's only one lemon left and I don't see that one getting any bigger. The tree actually looked healthier before using this. jobes August 15, 2015 I purchased this for my lemon tree. I did as it said and it did not work. Nothing has changed on the plant. It just has been the same for almost a year with the lemons not turning yellow but staying green. Not sure what to do with this big bag since it didn't do anything | 3% Every time I used it, my pots would also ... June 21, 2016 Every time I used it, my pots would also grow mushrooms (they thrived, but no change in my plants). Tossed it. Buyer Beware If using for pepper plants May 5, 2016 I added a small sprinkle around the base of every pepper/eggpplant in my garden and completely regret it! My sweet/hot pepper were affected the most, within 48 hours of adding Jobes I noticed some new blossoms forming on my peppers (Nice!) Yeah, I thought so too until a few days later all of my bottom leaves started to turn yellow. Most of the blossoms formed/opened within 72 hours after adding Jobes organic have yellowed and fallen off. Plants were lush and green before adding Jobes. If anyone is interested my soil consists of; Local organic soil, compost, wormcastings, and azomite rock dust minerals. Plant were lush, dark green and healthy and retaining fruit buds before application of this fertilizer. Now I'm stuck trying to get my poor plants back to square one after putting faith in Jobes line of fertilizers... Not what I thought! March 22, 2016 I was looking for a 10 10 10 plant food and this was listed in such. I have just received it and it clearly states it is 4 4 4 plant food. Beware of what you purchase. Two Stars May 28, 2015 After fertilizing the soil mushrooms started to grow. Cannot get rid of them(((((( It hasn't done too well for my potted veggies, ... July 22, 2014 It hasn't done too well for my potted veggies, especially tomatoes. Perhaps the nutritious stuff is draining out when I water and I need to apply the fertilizer more frequently? | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 5% I would not buy this product. again for the ... July 28, 2017 I would not buy this product.again for the reason that it made my fuit trees and vegetables sick After noticing that my trees have started dying I took immediate action to rectify the problem which costed me a lot of money to revive my trees and vegetable garden. I had to struggle and work very hard to restore my garden. I rechanllenged with this fertilizer and trees became sick again. I am not sure what does it contain which was not agreeable to my fruit trees. .It was a scary experience. Really disappointed. Bought this for my lemon and lime trees ... July 22, 2017 Really disappointed. Bought this for my lemon and lime trees and a second bag for my parents lemon tree. A few days after applying it killed off all of our small buds that were beginning to grow into fruit. Thought fertilizer was supposed to help with the fruit growth not eliminate it entirely. Ordered this because of the great reviews but shortly after using it my plant died July 10, 2017 Ordered this because of the great reviews but shortly after using it my plant died. I followed the rules exactly but it did absolutely nothing DISAPPOINTED May 21, 2017 This type of fertilizer didn't seem to do anything for my grapefruit tree.. Waited a month and decided to use chemical fertilization. Tree sprang to life in about 10 days. Live and learn.......... False advertising May 3, 2017 False advertising. On the picture, it shows that the product is OMRI certified. However, nowhere does it say that it is OMRI certified on the package I received. Anyone can say a product is organic but if it is not certified, it cannot be trusted. | 2% Molds easily June 5, 2015 This stuff constantly molds in soil. I have started making a tea with it to feed veggies in liquid form. Had to change all soil after mold, what a pain. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
