The bag itself is an educational tool teaching readers about what the three numbers on a fertilizer label mean. Request should be sent via e-mail to Pam Emery, pame@healthyplants.org . Include the date and title of the event, contact name and phone number, quantity, as well as a UPS shipping address, and a description of how these bags will be used.
