Row Crops/Acreage:
Apply 500-1,000 lbs per acre depending on specific crop needs or required pounds of actual nutrients per acre.
Containers:
For new plantings, add 1-2 tbsp per gallon of soil and mix thoroughly OR add 5 lbs per cubic yard. For established plants, lightly mix 1-2 tbsp per gallon into the soil surface once each month during the growing season.
