Use & Storage
Application
Planting: 50g per plant in the base of hole, cover with 1-5cm of soil. Increase for larger plants.
Established plants: 100g per plant
Garden beds: 100g per square metre.
Pots: 30g per 8-inch (20cm) wide pot around the outer rim, with relative increase/decrease dependent on pot size.
The rate of application should be used as a guide only. Each growers’ climatic conditions and soil types will necessitate corrections to maximise yields. Where possible it is recommended that regular leaf (sap) tests are conducted to determine actual plant nutrient availability during each growing cycle. Soil tests at least once per year are essential.
Storage & Use
