Modern farming methods and continuous cropping have stripped vital nutrients from the soil. Many soils are now low in key trace minerals and organic matter, which means the vegetables grown in them are often significantly deficient in important vitamins and minerals.
Even when vegetables are freshly picked, nutrient levels begin to drop from the moment they are harvested. After a week in storage and transit, they may retain only a fraction of their original nutrition and flavor. Feeding the soil with natural, mineral-rich fertilizers is one of the best ways to restore nutrient density, improve taste, and grow resilient plants.
Standard compost and many “complete” fertilizers still lack a full spectrum of mineral trace elements that give vegetables their complex flavors and dense nutrition. By combining natural fertilizers, quality compost, and a targeted trace-mineral blend like Crop Circle Fertilizer®, growers can rebuild their soil and grow better tasting, more nutrient-rich crops in any type of soil .
Crop Circle Fertilizer® is a trace-mineral-rich soil amendment designed to complement your existing compost and natural fertilizer program. It contains a carefully balanced blend of macro and micronutrients, including 18 essential minerals that support strong growth, deep flavor, and long-term soil health.
Key minerals in the Crop Circle Fertilizer trace-mineral blend include:
Farmers and gardeners have two main options for fertilizing plants: natural (organic) and synthetic (artificial) fertilizers. Both can be applied as granulated solids, slow-release pellets, or dissolved liquids delivered through irrigation systems.
Synthetic fertilizers are highly concentrated and fast-acting, but repeated applications can damage soil biology and contribute to pollution. Over time, heavy use of man-made fertilizers can create depleted “dead zones” in open fields, reduce soil carbon, and increase nutrient runoff into rivers, lakes, and oceans.
By contrast, natural fertilizers and mineral amendments work with living soil systems. They feed soil microbes, build organic matter, and support long-term fertility. A defining feature of a Crop Circle Farm is its use of very little fertilizer relative to traditional row crops. Carefully targeted applications and efficient irrigation reduce input costs, while healthier soils and plants maintain high yields.
Given today’s high prices and supply challenges for synthetic fertilizers, it makes practical and economic sense to rely on locally sourced natural fertilizers supplemented with trace-mineral blends like Crop Circle Fertilizer® that do not pollute the environment.
As an additive, Crop Circle Fertilizer is best utilized mixed into a composted blend of aged animal manure and plant matter. This creates a rich, biologically active soil amendment that provides a full spectrum of nutrients and trace minerals for optimum plant health and great tasting vegetables.
In addition to being incorporated into soil and compost, Crop Circle Fertilizer can be used to make a mineral-enriched compost tea . Used as a drench or foliar spray, compost tea helps quickly deliver soluble nutrients and beneficial microbes to plant roots and leaves, supporting strong growth and fast recovery from stress.
Many Crop Circle growers use a layered approach: a base of high-quality compost and natural fertilizer, a trace-mineral boost from Crop Circle Fertilizer blended into the soil, and periodic applications of compost tea during peak growth stages.

Questions about how Crop Circle Fertilizer® works in Crop Circle Farms, container beds, and rooftop systems? Start here.
Crop Circle Fertilizer is formulated for precise dosing through drip and low-pressure fertigation. Chelated micronutrients and balanced NPK let plants use more of what you apply, so less is wasted or lost to runoff. In many systems this allows growers to use up to 85% less fertilizer compared with conventional broadcast methods, while maintaining or improving yield and flavor.
Yes. The blend is tuned for soilless mixes and lightweight rooftop media commonly used in container gardens, rooftop farms, and Crop Circle beds. It helps maintain stable EC and pH, reduces salt buildup under automated irrigation, and works well in both drip lines and small-scale fertigation tanks.
Crop Circle Fertilizer supports organic, mineral, and hybrid fertility programs. Many growers pair it with compost, aged manures, and compost tea to build soil biology, then use targeted trace minerals and NPK to keep yields consistent. We can help you design a fertility plan that matches your soil-regeneration and certification goals.
Application rates are tuned to crop type, growth stage, media, water quality, and climate. Share your crop list, expected temperature range, and irrigation method and we can suggest EC/pH targets, starter and production recipes, and weekly feed schedules that fit your Crop Circle or container system.
Yes, when used as directed. We favor low-odor formulations and closed-loop fertigation with proper storage and labeling, making the program suitable for school gardens, public rooftops, and community farms. Safety data sheets (SDS) are available on request so facility teams, HOAs, and insurers can review handling guidelines.
Store Crop Circle Fertilizer sealed in a cool, dry location away from direct sun and moisture. Under typical conditions, it maintains performance for about 18–24 months. Always re-seal bags or containers after use and keep products out of reach of children and animals to preserve quality and safety.
