FAQ

To save money I often like to purchase larger sizes of the products I use and store them. Do Esposma products have a shelf life that would prevent me from doing this?

• Espoma products are complex blends of natural organics. As long as the materials are kept dry they should retain their effectiveness indefinitely. Store unused product in the original container in a cool dry location out of reach of children and pets.

I've already applied new mulch. How should I feed now?

• The products are best applied prior to adding mulch. If you have already mulched you have two options. First, you can pull the mulch away, apply the plant food, and re-mulch. If this is not desirable you can apply directly onto the mulch, but you will need to double the application rate. This is needed because the mulch is decomposing and this decomposition process will take nutrients from the plant food application. To ensure your plants get the food the higher rate is required.

What is the shelf life of the producs?

• When stored dry the fertilizer materials have an almost unlimited shelf life. The Bio-tone microbes are best use prior to the ‘Best by’ date printed on the bag. If the material becomes wet during storage there may be some degradation of the nutrient value and the material may form clumps. You can still apply this material to your garden. Use a tool to break the clumps of plant food and allow it to dry as much as possible. Apply the product as you would the unaffected product.

Will over applying hurt my plants?

• We always recommend that users follow the recommended rates of application on each bag. However, as the tones are all blends of all natural and organic ingredients there is a wide margin of error built in. This is due to the slow release and low salt content of these ingredients. If you feel you have over applied, water the plants thoroughly.
