PERENNIALS, BEDDING PLANTS AND GROUND COVERS can be
successfully grown by anyone if the soil is IMPROVED and a few tips are
followed: SOIL PREPARATION: Most
of our soils are in need of Organic Humus to retain moisture and plant
nutrients. We recommend
adding BUMPER CROP (plant mix with chicken, bat guano, kelp meal and
worm castings) and NURSERYMEN’S PRE-PLANT FERTILIZER or BUMPER CROP
BOOSTER (all organic blood meal, bone meal, etc.)
Use one bumper Crop per 50 sq. ft. and 2 lbs Pre-Plant Fertilizer
per 100 sq. ft. Mix well
with existing soil. We also have a problem with SALTS in our soil, so it is
good to reduce them with an application of NURSERYMEN’S SOIL
CONDITIONER at the rate of 40 lbs per 350 sq. ft. Mix these with your soil about 6 inches deep.
Now you are ready to plant.
Use the following chart
*Per Flat FORMULAS TO DETERMINE SQ. FT: Circles: Area
= Diameter squared x 0.7854 Triangles: Area
= 1/2 x height Rectangles: Area
= Base x height
WEED PREVENTION INSURANCE: Yes, you can save yourself hours of time and costly hand
weeding by applying a weed preventer at the time you plant. First, REMOVE existing weeds, then SHAKE ON GARDEN WEED
PREVENTER (such as Green Lite, Amaze). This will kill the sprouting weed
seeds without harming the growing bedding plants or ground cover. |
