Application Guidelines

When to Apply

• Apply in early spring as vines emerge from dormancy to support initial growth.
• Ensure soil temperatures are between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C) for optimal nutrient uptake.
• Reapply every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (early spring to mid-summer), based on plant needs and local conditions.

How to Apply

• Application Rate:
  • New Plantings: Mix 1 tablespoon into the top 6–8 inches of soil at planting.
  • Established Vines: Apply ½ to 1 cup per plant, adjusting for size and age.
• Method:
  • Broadcasting: Evenly distribute fertilizer around the plant base, extending to the drip line, avoiding stems and leaves to prevent burn.
  • Incorporation: Lightly work into the soil if needed, ensuring no root disturbance.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after application to dissolve fertilizer and deliver nutrients to roots.
• Monitoring: Watch for signs of over-fertilization (e.g., excessive foliage, reduced fruiting) and adjust application as needed.

Tips for Success

• Soil Temperature: Maintain 60°F–70°F for effective nutrient absorption and root development.
• Timing: Apply in early spring to align with the growth cycle of sun-loving vines.
• Soil Testing: Conduct a soil test to avoid over-fertilization and tailor nutrient application.
• Safety: Wear gloves and protective eyewear during application; store fertilizer in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets.
• Avoid Over-Fertilization: Follow recommended rates to prevent lush foliage at the expense of blooms and fruit.
