Application Rate Guide For Home Gardens and Lawns
Once a year is the usual application rate, however, this may be affected
by climatic differences. Although Planters II will not burn your vegetation,
a small amount produces big results. Results can generally be seen within
two weeks.
Tips and Suggestions:
1) If your garden needs NPK,
we recommend using a simple compost.
2) For sandy / unhealthy soils, use
more Planters II. It will not burn.
3) Recommend natural products to your
home owners association. Many landscapers use chemical products, which easily
spread into the water table, affecting your home gardens.
4) Use Planters II for both your
home gardens and lawns. Why buy seperate products, when one does the job?

* The drip line of a tree is the area on the outer edge of the branches, the area
where the rain would run off. The feeder roots of a tree are primarily around the drip
line, and are at a shallow depth (3-6 inches).
