Fall Plant Nutrition Made Simple: Why Covington Naturals HFK-633 Is the Ultimate Food for Your Plants, Trees, and Shrubs
As the crisp air of fall sets in, gardeners and homeowners often focus on preparing their landscapes for winter dormancy. But did you know that fall is one of the most important seasons to feed your plants? While growth above ground may slow, what happens underground tells a very different story. Roots continue to grow, absorb nutrients, and store energy to ensure plants survive the cold months and burst back to life in spring.
This is where Covington Naturals HFK-633 Fall Plant Food shines. Specially formulated to deliver the perfect balance of nutrients during the autumn season, HFK-633 is designed to strengthen roots, boost winter hardiness, and prepare flowers, trees, shrubs, and lawns for vibrant growth in the months ahead.
Even better, when paired with Covington Naturals Soil Aerator, you create the ultimate bundle for soil health and plant vitality. Together, these products don’t just feed plants—they create thriving ecosystems beneath the surface.
In this article, we’ll explore why HFK-633 is the best fall fertilizer for your yard, how it works, and the benefits of pairing it with Covington’s Soil Aerator for maximum results.
Why Feeding Plants in Fall Matters
Many gardeners mistakenly believe that fertilizing is only a spring or summer task. But plants need nutrients all year long—especially in fall. Here’s why:
-
Root Development Continues in Fall
Even when leaves drop, roots stay active in cool soil temperatures. Feeding plants in fall helps strengthen these root systems, ensuring they can access water and nutrients during winter dormancy. -
Energy Storage for Winter Survival
Plants use nutrients to store carbohydrates and energy reserves. A well-fed plant in fall is less stressed in winter and bounces back healthier in spring. -
Enhanced Disease and Pest Resistance
Proper nutrition strengthens cell walls, making plants less susceptible to pests and fungal infections during damp autumn and early winter months. -
Greener Lawns and More Colorful Gardens in Spring
Feeding in fall sets the stage for lush, green lawns, vibrant blooms, and stronger shrubs when warm weather returns.
Simply put: fertilizing in fall is an investment in spring success.
Introducing Covington Naturals HFK-633 Fall Plant Food
Covington Naturals HFK-633 isn’t just another fertilizer—it’s a scientifically formulated solution designed specifically for fall application. Its nutrient profile is carefully balanced to meet the needs of plants at this stage in their growth cycle.
Key Features of HFK-633:
-
6% Nitrogen (N)
Enough to maintain root activity and moderate growth, but not so much that plants push out tender new shoots vulnerable to frost. -
3% Phosphorus (P)
Supports robust root development, improves nutrient uptake, and encourages strong root networks—critical for fall feeding. -
3% Potassium (K)
Potassium enhances winter hardiness, disease resistance, and water regulation in plants. It’s like a shield against the stresses of cold weather. -
Micronutrient Blend
Trace minerals ensure plants receive the balanced diet they need, correcting hidden deficiencies that could limit growth. -
Gentle, Non-Burning Formula
Designed to be safe for lawns, gardens, shrubs, and trees without the risk of chemical burns that many synthetic fertilizers cause.
How Your Plants Benefit from HFK-633
1. Stronger Root Systems
Fall is all about root growth, and HFK-633’s phosphorus-rich formula gives plants exactly what they need. Stronger roots mean better anchorage, improved nutrient absorption, and more drought tolerance next summer.
2. Improved Winter Hardiness
Potassium acts as the plant’s natural antifreeze. With HFK-633, your flowers, shrubs, and trees are better equipped to handle freezing temperatures, ice, and snow.
3. Disease and Stress Resistance
Balanced nutrition improves plant immunity. Plants fortified with HFK-633 are more resilient against pests, fungal issues, and environmental stresses like sudden cold snaps.
4. Enhanced Spring Growth
By feeding plants in fall, you set the stage for explosive growth in spring. Your lawn emerges greener, flowers bloom brighter, and shrubs leaf out more fully.
5. Versatility Across Plant Types
From perennials and annual flowers to ornamental trees, fruit trees, shrubs, and lawns, HFK-633 provides balanced nutrition for nearly every plant in your yard.
How to Use HFK-633 Effectively
-
Lawns: Apply evenly with a spreader in late fall before the ground freezes. Water lightly to help nutrients absorb.
-
Trees and Shrubs: Spread around the dripline (the area beneath the outer branches). Avoid direct contact with the trunk.
-
Flowers and Garden Beds: Lightly work into the soil around plants or water in for quick absorption.
-
Potted Plants: Use a reduced rate to avoid over-fertilizing confined root systems.
For best results, apply HFK-633 once in mid to late fall, giving your plants time to absorb nutrients before dormancy.
Why Pair HFK-633 with Covington Naturals Soil Aerator?
Feeding plants is only part of the equation—nutrients can’t work unless they reach the roots. Over time, soil becomes compacted, limiting oxygen, water, and nutrient flow. This is where Covington Naturals Soil Aerator comes in.
What Is the Covington Soil Aerator?
It’s a liquid aeration solution that breaks up compacted soil without the need for mechanical core aeration. Simply spray it on, and the formula penetrates the soil, loosening it at the molecular level.
Benefits of Using Soil Aerator:
-
Improves Nutrient Uptake
By loosening soil, it allows HFK-633 nutrients to reach deeper root zones where they’re most effective. -
Enhances Root Development
Aerated soil provides roots with more oxygen and space to grow, amplifying the benefits of fall feeding. -
Boosts Microbial Activity
Healthy soil microbes thrive in aerated soil, helping break down organic matter and release nutrients naturally. -
Saves Time and Effort
No need for heavy equipment or messy plugs in your lawn. Just spray and water in. -
Safe and Natural
Non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it safe for kids, pets, and pollinators.
The Perfect Fall Bundle: HFK-633 + Soil Aerator
When used together, HFK-633 and Soil Aerator create a synergy that maximizes plant health. Here’s how:
-
Step 1: Apply Covington Soil Aerator to loosen compacted soil and improve absorption pathways.
-
Step 2: Follow with HFK-633 Fall Plant Food, ensuring nutrients penetrate deep into the soil.

Step 3: Watch as your plants thrive through winter and bounce back in spring stronger than ever.
This one-two punch not only feeds your plants but also transforms your soil into a living, breathing foundation for long-term health.
