Why do plants need fertilizer?
As we need water and food to do our daily tasks similarly plants also need different chemicals to complete their life cycle. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are the most important chemicals. These chemicals are absorbed by the plants through the soil or water. As we know, a lot of crops are being harvested in only one patch of land. So gradually the amount of essential plant nutrients in the soil decreases and soil can't provide the desired quantity of essential plant nutrients to the plants and consequently, the growth of plants is effected. So these plant nutrients are provided to the soil in the form of fertilizer. Actually, fertilizer contain necessary amount of essential chemicals according to the need of soil. In short fertilizer are used for the better growth of plants.

You need (8 x (520/1000)) lbs ie 4.16 lbs so you only need 1 bag but won't use much more than half of the contents.
