How to Apply
-New garden beds: 2.5–5 lbs per 100 sq ft, worked into the top 3 inches
-Transplants: 1–2 tablespoons per planting hole
-Established plants (side-dress): 2–4 oz per plant monthly
-Lawns: 10–20 lbs per 1,000 sq ft; up to 40 lbs per a soil test
-Containers (new): 2–4 tablespoons per gallon of soil
-Containers (established): 1–2 tablespoons per gallon, monthly
Steps:
1. Work it into the soil — beds to the top 3 inches, blended through container mixes, into transplant holes; protein meals feed through soil contact.
2. Water thoroughly after applying to activate the microbial breakdown that releases the nitrogen.
3. Feed once per season for most plantings; every 4–6 weeks (or monthly side-dress) for heavy feeders in active growth.
4. Best results in warm, moist soil — microbial release slows in cold or dry conditions.
When and how often: at planting/bed prep, then once per season or every 4–6 weeks for heavy feeders during active growth.
What NOT to do: do not surface-apply without incorporating, do not expect fast results in cold soil (microbial release is temperature-dependent), and do not over-apply expecting a quick green-up — it's slow by design.
