FOR ESTABLISHED LAWNS:

Apply 10 lbs. per 1,000 square feet of lawn area in early spring and again in late fall along with normal lawn fertilization program. Soils low in organic matter will respond better to application rates of 20 to 30 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. Water in after application.

FOR NEW LAWNS:

Apply 10 to 15 lbs. per 1,000 square feet prior to soil preparation. Till or work into the soil before seeding. Water in after seeding of lawn. Poor, sandy soil will require application rates of 20 to 30 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. Reapply in early fall.

FOR FLOWER BEDS AND VEGETABLE GARDENS:

Apply 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. per 100 square feet before soil preparation for planting. Incorporate into the top 2 inch to 4 inch of soil at time of planting. Water in after application. Use as needed. This is determined by cropping system, environment and soil type. For best results, make a second application in late fall before tilling or turning under plant stubble.

FOR INDOOR AND PATIO CONTAINER GROWN PLANTS:

One teaspoon for 9 inch or smaller pots; one tablespoon for 12 inch or larger pots. Broadcast on the surface or incorporate in top 1 inch to 2 inch of soil. Apply every 3 to 4 months. Water in after application.

FOR MIXING COMPOST:

Add 1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) per cubic foot. Mix well into compost and apply to gardens, flower beds and potted plants.
