Established Plants: Side dress anytime during the growing season. Use 3/4 cup for every 10 square feet of growing area or 3-3/4 cups for every 50 lineal feet of row. Work into the soil gently and water well.

Potted Plants

New Plantings: When potting plants, mix 1-1/2 tablespoon Fish Bone Meal per gallon of potting soil, or add 1/3 cup per 1/2 cubic foot (approx. 5 gallons) of potting soil. Mix the soil and Fish Bone Meal thoroughly. Water well.

Established Plants: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon for a 6″ container, or 4 tablespoons for a 12″ container. Scratch into the soil gently, and cover with a thin layer of organic mulch when possible. Water thoroughly.
