Directions For Use

FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES: Spread fertilizer evenly on the bed surface and work into the top 2 to 4 inches of soil surface before planting. For vigorous growth, repeat applications every 6 weeks during the growing season, working into the soil surface along rows or around plants. Do not allow fertilizer to contact stems or leaves. 


SHRUBS, HEDGES AND ORNAMENTALS: Apply in the late spring and early fall. Where rapid growth is desired, or in areas where the growing season is extended, a third application is recommended in mid-summer. Scatter the fertilizer evenly on the soil surface under the outer spread of branches, inward to a point 1 foot from trunk of plant. Scratch fertilizer lightly into the soil surface and water well. Do not allow fertilizer to contact stems or leaves. Use half rate for young plants less than one year old. 


FRUIT AND NUT TREES: Apply fertilizer 3 times a year - once in the spring before new growth appears, early summer, and again in the fall after fruit and nuts have been harvested. Fertilizer should only be applied under the drop line of established trees and watered thoroughly. 


SHADE TREES: Fertilize your trees 2 to 4 weeks before they break bud in spring. A second application is desired 6 to 8 weeks once the trees have reached peak spring growth. Fertilize again in 6 to 8 weeks. Feed again in late fall, about the time of the average first frost date. Established trees can be fed by using an auger to drill holes in a circle just inside the drip line 24 inches apart and approximately 12 inches deep. Surface feeding near drip line is recommended for younger trees. Water your trees slowly and deeply. Use half rate for young plants less than one year old. 


WATERING SUGGESTIONS: Since fertilizer left on the foliage will cause leaf burn, fertilizer spills should be picked up and spread out, then water well to lower the concentration in the area of the spill. A thorough soaking is preferred to a light shallow watering. This encourages deep rooting and will resist heat and drought stress. Surface drying helps to reduce fungus diseases which thrive in high moisture and temperature conditions. Early morning watering is recommended.
