HOW DO I USE THIS PRODUCT
When preparing a new planting bed:
Spread 1-1/3 cups of ULTRAGREEN evenly over each 50 sq. ft. (5' x 10') of area to be planted. Mix it into the soil to a depth of 4-6 inches, along with any compost or other soil amendments that are added.
For individual small plants (individual vegetable or strawberry transplants, bedding plants, annuals, perennials, herbs and bulbs) and for planting containers:
Mix 1-1/2 tsp. of ULTRAGREEN into the soil at the bottom of the planting hole before setting in the plant or bulb. Do not let the roots directly touch the plant food.
When planting new roses:
Use 1-1/2 tsp. per bareroot rose and 1 tbsp. for roses in 2 gallon pots.
When transplanting established roses:
Use 1/4 cup for a small rose (under 3' tall) and 1/2 cup for a large rose (over 3' tall). Mix evenly with the soil used to refill the planting hole. Do not let the roots directly touch the plant food.
For fruit trees, grapes, and berries:
Use 2 tsp. for bareroot plants, 1 tbsp. for plants in 3 gallon pots, and up to 1/2 cup when transplanting established trees and vines. Mix evenly with soil used to refill the planting hole. Do not let the roots directly touch the plant food.
When planting new ornamental trees, shrubs, and vines:
Use 2 tsp. for bareroot plants, 1 tbsp. for plants in 3 gallon pots, and up to 1/2 cup when transplanting established trees, shrubs, and vines. Mix evenly with soil used to refill the planting hole. Do not let the roots directly touch the plant food.
