Dried Blood (12-0-0) OR 0.2 - 0.4 lbs. Urea (45-0-0) per 100 square feet. Application should be split between early spring and mid-June. *To supply Phosphorus, apply EITHER 0.8 lbs. Bone Meal (4-12-0) OR 0.2 lb. Triple Phosphate (0-45-0) per 100 square feet. *Soil test value for potassium is above optimum. Do not add additional potassium at this time. -For instructions on converting nutrient recommendations to fertilizer applications in home gardens, lawns and landscapes, see Reference "Step-by-Step Fertilizer Guide for Home Grounds and Gardening" (listed below). -Avoid over-fertilization. In addition to threatening water quality, excessive nutrient applications can compromise plant health and contribute to insect and disease problems. For details, see Reference "Corrective Measures and Management of Over-Fertilized Soils" (listed below). -Use native soil to fill around the roots when planting. If the soil is light sand or heavy clay, mix in some peat moss or compost. Maintain a 2 to 4 inch organic mulch to help conserve moisture and improve soil conditions.
