When To Use:
Apply in Spring and every 60 days until the desired pH is achieved
How Much To Use:
We recommend wearing gardening gloves when feeding your plants
- Hydrangeas & Blueberries: Apply in the spring to lower soil pH.
New Plantings: 1-1/4 cups per plant.
Established Plants: 2-1/2 cups per plant
Spread evenly around the plant out to the drip line and water well. Repeat in 60-day intervals until the desired pH or bloom color is achieved.
- Potted Plants: One tbsp. for each 4˝ of pot diameter.
- Broadcast Rate:
Apply 12 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. for each one-point reduction in soil pH desired. For heavy clay soils increase rate to 15 lbs. A gradual reduction in soil pH is preferred as dramatic reduction can result in stress.
- As a Fertilizer: Apply 1/2 cup per 100 square feet (1 tablespoon per plant) around the root zone
