Vegetable and Herb Gardens: To prepare new gardens, apply 3-6 lbs per 100 square feet and thoroughly mix into the top 3 inches of soil. For new transplants, add 1-2 tablespoon per hole, mix into soil and water in well. To feed established plants, side dress 2-4 ounces, depending on plant size and desired growth rate, once each month during the growing season.
Containers: For new plantings, add 1-2 tablespoon per gallon of soil and mix thoroughly or add 5-10 pounds per cubic yard. For established plants, lightly mix 1-2 tablespoon per gallon into the soil surface once each month during the growing season.
Trees and Shrubs: Spread 1 pound per 1 inch of trunk diameter around the base outwards to the drip line, mix into soil surface, and water in well. For new trees, prepare a transplant hole and mix 1-2 cups with the backfill soil. Use amended soil to fill in around the new tree and water in the well.
