ROOTS® Healthy Start® 3-4-3 is formulated for general use applications. It contains NPK fertility derived from natural sources, and includes beneficial rhizosphere bacteria to boost biological soil fertility. It also contains humic acids, which may aid in the uptake of mineral nutrients by plants. Roots Healthy Start 3-4-3 is manufactured as an insoluble granular fertilizer that releases nutrients as it biodegrades. It is used to provide rich organic matter and active rhizosphere bacteria to depleted soils.

We highly recommend Healthy Start for all new plantings.

We ship two ways. One is "Local Delivery". That means one, or more, of our crew members personally delivers your order in a Bay Gardens truck or van to your home. This option is only available in certain zip codes throughout NY, NJ & CT.

The other method is "Common Carrier Shipping". Only certain plants can be sent this way. Usually ones that are under 4 feet tall. When we ship this way, one of our crew members boxes up your order and then sends it to your home via UPS or FedEx.

For more information on our shipping methods, browse our delivery pages in the "ABOUT" tab above.

Plants with listed heights (i.e. 4-5 ft) are measured from the top of the root ball to the top of the plant. Basically, what will be exposed out of the ground after planting. We do not count the root ball or container in the tree size.

Many of our plants come in the plastic Nursery Containers in which they are grown. These containers come in various sizes. Typically, the larger the container, the more mature and larger the plant is. The containers are measured by the "Gallon". More often than not, the larger the gallon size, the larger the plant.
