How to Apply
-Garden beds and borders: 1 tablespoon per square foot
-Containers: 1 teaspoon per 6-inch pot (scale up proportionally for larger pots)
Steps:
1. If the soil is dry, water it lightly first — applying fertilizer to bone-dry soil increases the risk of fertilizer burn.
2. Measure the correct amount with a scoop or measuring spoon. More is not better.
3. Spread evenly over the soil surface around the base of the plants. Keep granules off leaves and flowers and away from direct contact with stems.
4. Gently rake into the top 1–2 inches of soil.
5. Water in immediately and thoroughly. This activates the nutrients, carries them to the roots, and protects against burn.
When and how often:
-First application: at planting, or when new growth begins in early spring
-Reapply every 4–6 weeks through the growing season
-Stop feeding in late season so plants can harden off before dormancy
-Apply once soil has warmed and plants are actively growing (typically mid-spring to early summer)
What NOT to do: do not exceed the listed rates, do not leave granules sitting on foliage, and do not apply without watering in — this is a concentrated formula and over-application can burn plants.
