Bedding Plants

New Plantings: During bed preparation, mix in with your soil amendment 1-1/2 cups Flower Garden Fertilizer per 10 square feet, or use 1/4 cup for a 1-gallon plant. Feed every 8 weeks during the growing season for maximum results.

Established Plants: In beds, use 1 cup for every 10 square feet, or mix 3-1/2 cups per 50 feet of garden row. Mix Dr. Earth with soil gently and water well.

Flowering Container Plants

New Plantings: When planting, mix 1 heaping tablespoon Organic 6 to each quart of potting soil, or add 1/2 cup per 1/2 cubic foot (approx. 5 gallons) of medium. Water in well. Your newly potted plants will love it!

Established Plants: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon for a 6-inch container, or 4 tablespoons for a 12-inch container. Mix into the soil gently and cover with a thin layer of organic mulch, when possible. Water thoroughly. Apply every other month.

Individual Plants

New Plantings: Once you have dug the planting hole to the correct size, mix 4 tablespoons per 1-gallon container with your soil and a good quality soil amendment. After planting, water well.

Established Plants: To side dress, add 1/4 cup per 2-foot of plant diameter. Mix with the soil gently and cover with a thin layer of organic mulch, when possible. Apply every two months throughout the growing season and water thoroughly.
