How To Use Espoma Organic Land and Sea
- New Garden Beds: Add 2 to 3 inches of Espoma Organic Land and Sea Gourmet Compost to your garden area. Add the appropriate amount of Bio-tone Starter Plus for the area. Mix or rototill compost with the existing soil to a depth of 4-6 inches. Mix the soil well, then level with a rake. Plant seeds or live plants fallowing package directions or tag instructions. Water thoroughly after planting, then daily as needed until plants are established. Begin a regular fertilizer program 30 days after planting with the appropriate Espoma Tone Plant Food.
- Planting Trees and Shrubs: Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant in the hole so that it is sitting at or above the same depth that it was previously growing (Use soil mark on trunk as a guide). Add Espoma Organic Land and Sea Gourmet Compost to the native soil so that the soil to backfill the hole is equal parts native soil and compost. Add the appropriate amount of Bio-tone Starter Plus. Fill the hole with amended soil. Pack firmly, soak it with water and allow to settle. Add additional soil if needed.
