Q: Where do I put the fertilizer?

A: Once you have determined the correct amount (not to exceed 3 cups per application), simply spread it evenly on top of the soil surrounding the base of the tree. You should spread the fertilizer as wide as the drip line of the plant. Avoid piling the fertilizer up against the trunk of the tree or shrub

Water! Water all plants immediately after fertilizing. To improve efficiency, we recommend saturating the entire fertilized area with a garden hose.
