  • Incorporate: Gently mix into the top layer of soil

  • Water Again: Thoroughly water to activate nutrient release

🌍 Optimal Soil Conditions

  • Environmental Monitoring: Check moisture levels frequently in hot, sunny conditions

Pro Tip from the Farm:
Container trees need consistent care—especially in the heat. Pair this fertilizer with a moisture-retaining mulch and a weekly check-in for lush, thriving growth all season long.
