Your Garden’s
Web of Life.
The nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium
they contain are the most critical elements
needed by plants. Plant food workhorse,
nitrogen, releases gently, over weeks, for
a steady supply of nutrition. You never
have to worry about burning tender roots,
even at planting time.
Here’s the plus, these three traditional
plant food ingredients have long been
sought by knowledgeable gardeners for
their special ability to enhance flowering,
plant growth, and produce quality. Try
ALL-NATURAL PLANT FOOD around all
your flowers, shrubs, and vegetables and
see what it can do for you!
PREPARING YOUR GARDEN SPACE
Proper soil preparation is essential to
growing beautiful gardens of all kinds.
When preparing larger areas, such as shrub
beds, vegetable plots, perennial gardens,
or flower borders, be sure to spread 1 to 2
inches of WHITNEY FARMS PLANTING
COMPOST, along with the recommended
amount of fertilizer over the area. Mix it
in as deeply as you can — 6 to 8 inches
is excellent.
All Natural
PLANT FOOD
PLANTING SHRUBS
Dig a hole 2 to 3 times wider than the root
ball, but not much deeper. Mix a few shovelfuls of WHITNEY FARMS PLANTING
COMPOST and the recommended fertilizer
into the soil from the hole. Save this soil to
refill the hole after planting.
Loosen the soil at the bottom of the
planting hole and blend in a few shovelfuls
of PLANTING COMPOST and a handful of
the fertilizer. Form a small mound at the
base of the hole and place the plant on top.
Refill the hole with the amended soil. Be
sure the plant is at its original soil level.
FEEDING ESTABLISHED PLANTS
Spread the plant food in a circle around the
plant, beneath the outer leaves. Scratch it
into the soil surface, taking care not to
damage shallow roots.
FOR INDIVIDUAL PLANTS
Give roots a fast, sure start! After preparing
the garden area, mix a small amount of
plant food (1⁄4 cup) into the bottom of each
hole prior to planting.
