The 1-2-0.5 ratio is intentionally light — PennMulch is a seeding mulch first and a fertilizer second. Spread at the label rate it delivers a full starter-feed equivalent to a standard 10-20-5 application, perfectly timed to feed germinating seedlings while the pellets hold moisture and keep seed in place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lebanon","offers":[{"title":"Per Bag","offer_id":53374587044132,"sku":"47486","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5322\/9860\/files\/pennmulch-seed-starter-40lb.png?v=1777034533"}],"url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/collections\/mulch.oembed","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
