Directions
One pound equals approx. 3 cupfuls
Lawns:
For new lawns, work 40 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. into the top 4 inches of soil. Seed can be sown
immediately. Once the lawn is 6 months old, treat it as an established lawn. For established
lawns, apply 20 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. 3 times a year - Spring, Summer and Fall.
Garden Beds:
Mix Plant-tone into the top 4 inches of soil at the rate of 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.
New Plantings:
Dig hole twice as wide and same depth as root ball. Loosen roots and spread them into prepared
hole. Remove 1/3 of soil and replace with compost or soil mix. Mix 1-2 cups of Plant-tone into
soil mix. Do not mound the stems. Water thoroughly and add mulch to conserve water and
control weeds.
Established Plants:
In general, feed trees and shrubs twice a year - Spring and Fall. Feed flowers and vegetables
once per month throughout the growing season. Sprinkle 1 cup of Plant-tone around the drip-
line of the plant (forming a circle under the plant’s outer leaves). For trees and shrubs, use 1 cup
for each foot of branch spread (diameter of plant).
Potted Plants:
Mix 1 part Plant-tone to 25 parts soil. Feed established plants 1 teaspoon of Plant-tone for each
3 inches of pot diameter. Repeat monthly.
