🕐 When & How to Apply

Best Time:
Late summer to early fall, after your herbs have matured and before dormancy begins. This strengthens roots and sets your plants up for success in spring.

Application Rates:

  • Container/Window Boxes:
    Apply 1–2 tablespoons per square foot of soil surface.

  • In-Ground Herb Beds:
    Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup per plant, depending on plant size.

Instructions:

  • Distribute Fertilizer:
    Evenly spread fertilizer across the soil surface—avoid direct contact with stems or foliage.

  • Incorporate:
    Lightly work into the top 1–2 inches of soil with a trowel or fork.

  • Water Thoroughly:
    This dissolves the nutrients and moves them into the root zone. Maintain consistent moisture in the weeks following.

🌡️ Soil Temperature & Conditions
