2½ cups ≈ 1 lb; ½ cup ≈ 3.2 oz; 1 tbsp ≈ 0.4 oz
Tomatoes:
For new 4” tomato starts, prepare transplant holes and mix 2-3 tbsp with the backfill soil for each plant. Use amended soil to fill in around the new plant and water in well. For 1 gallon tomato transplants, use ¼-½ cup per plant. To feed established tomatoes, side dress ¼- ½ cup per plant, depending on plant size and desired growth rate, once each month during the growing season.
Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds:
To prepare new gardens, apply 2.5-5 lbs per 100 square feet and thoroughly mix into the top 3″ of soil. For new transplants, add 1-2 tbsp per hole, mix into soil and water in well. To feed established plants, side dress 2-4 oz, depending on plant size and desired growth rate, once each month during the growing season.
Containers & Houseplants:
For new plantings, add 1-2 tbsp per gallon of soil and mix thoroughly OR add 5-10 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.
Row Crops/Acreage:
Apply 750-1,000 lbs per acre depending on specific crop needs or required pounds of actual nitrogen per acre.
Trees & Shrubs:
Spread 1 lb per 1″ of trunk diameter around the base outwards to the drip line, mix into soil surface and water in well. For new trees, prepare transplant hole and mix 1-2 cups with the backfill soil. Use amended soil to fill in around the new tree and water in well.
