I want to create my own fertilizer mix. I want a 2-12-24. I have the raw ingredients. Is there a calculator program for this? I will take any suggestions or formulas you might have? I know all my measurements for the area that I am going to do. zigTzig

The numbers mean lbs. per package, So in your mix it would be 2 lbs 12 lbs 24 lbs.

The numbers mean lbs. per package, So in your mix it would be 2 lbs 12 lbs 24 lbs. Huh? The numbers are percentages of NPK and that statement would only also apply if the bag contained 100#. Maximum dry N available is 45-0-0 urea. Maximum dry P is 0-46-0 triple superphosphate. Maximum dry K is 0-0-60 muriate of potash. Without knowing what raw materials are at hand, it is not possible to create a formula. If equal amounts of each mentioned were used in a mix, it would be 15-15-20. That would give you a clue that a little more than 33% would have to be 0-0-60, a bit less than 33% of 0-46-0, and about 33% of something around 6-0-0. Martin

I use 46% urea and 6-24-24 to do my mixing. I rounded the numbers below to get rid of fractions.
If I mix equal parts of each I get 26-12-12 ([46+6]/2 and 24/2).
Two parts urea with one part 6-24-24 is 33-8-8 9[46+46+6]/3 and 24/3)
Two parts 6-24-24 and 1 part urea gives me 19-16-16 ([6+6+46]/3 and [24+24]/3
